CS #345 - Self-Portrait

[West]

This week it’s all about you.
Let’s see if we can come up with some type of “action” shots.

You may be on an international quest to search out and photograph the world’s best bathroom duck painting, or you could be auditioning for the sequel to the Taxi Driver movie.

Make it fun and interesting …

Nice selfie Tri! I can see a series where you go through all the cameras in your .sig.
Obscuring your face of course ... :Wink:

 

[Chris101]

Whoa. This evening I started looking at my history with self imagolation. It made me feel the weight of the years for sure. Since it just turned Thursday, here is a collection of my first 35 years of shooting myself:

I've aged since then. Here's how I looked a few minutes ago:

Hmmm. I think I only took a picture of myself once, and other people rarely shoot pictures of me (I must be hideous :smile. This will be hard.

Great theme though, will try to see what I can do. Great shots, especially the second, West.

My first attempt. I normally do not like photos of myself at all...

Wow! Your appearance has changed quite a bit Chris. Love the sequences, and the hair styles :biggrin:

The last shot of you in a dark room is hard to see, some old guy stepped in front of the shot. :biggrin::biggrin:

 

[Chris101]

Heh. Thanks Paul!

That old fart guy follows me around all over the place.

 

[Rob Zijlstra]

Great set! I think you went through all kind of phases in your life: long hair, mustache etc etc! I'll see if I can find something like this...

 

[Bob Coutant]

you could be auditioning for the sequel to the Taxi Driver movie.

Darn, Chris already got the part!:frown:

[plus a supporting role in an upcoming Charles Bronson movie:wink:]

 

[tmldds]

Chris,

Fantastic trip down evolutionary lane...

 

[JustEd]

Good one West

 

[Bob Coutant]

I tried out for this part last year, but the studio said I was a little late.:frown:

Why would they say that Bob, you look every bit the part?

Great portrait, very outgoing. How did you get the water drops to show up?

Bob,

Such a cheerful portrait!

 

[West]

Good stuff guys !!
Tri, I bet you have some SCARY tools around your office that would make for an interesting storyline.

 

[tmldds]

West,

You just gave me an idea... How bloody do you want it?

Bob,

Such a cheerful portrait!

Thanks guys -- it's one from last year, but it really is raining cats and dogs here this morning.

Ed, the rain was generated using a Java applet -- what you see is a screen shot of the result.:wink: [I have tried real raindrops -- for me, they show up best when the scene is relatively dark and you can use a flash to "stop" and reveal the droplets.]
