Faces In Collage - Me

Me in Collage
Yesterday, I wanted a new profile pic.  I'm finally getting OK with taking my own picture, droopy eyes and all.  I recently discovered my bathroom is a great place to do this.  Good light.

I could be the last one to figure this out but here is how I do it.  Maybe you can tell I'm holding the camera.  Well, I'm sitting in front of a big mirror and I'm holding the camera lens facing me.  I can see the camera view screen in the mirror and I can see when I'm in the right position and have an OK facial expression and my double chin is stretched and I can't do anything about the baggy, droopy eyes.  Then, without moving anything but my eyes, I either look straight into the lens or away.  And snap.

I have even videoed myself...........this way.....
I'll share.

  5. The best smile is the one you wear at the end of the video. I studied each of your collage faces so carefully.

    I want to paint your face! There is something about it that makes me just want to. But I don't see that light I need. I see the beautiful, funny face, but if only there was some interesting light hitting it...aahhh then the paintbrush would fly!

    Don't ya just hate it when some one starts to tell ya something, then says they aren't gonna? Drives ya crazy, doesn't it?!

  11. Love your collages... I'll have to take the class one of these days. By-the-way... you are beautiful! Funny... I usually take my self photos in the bathroom too... I'll have to try your technique of looking at the mirror through the view finder! Mine are usually hit or miss... mostly miss!

  12. I've said it before to other women- don't waste your breath telling me about your imperfections. I don't see you the way you do. I'm an artist and I see you with artist's eyes. You are beautiful.
