FOL2014 - Week 3 - Black and White Self Portrait

 

 

 

 

It's week 3 for the Focus on Life 2014 weekly photo challenge and we're sticking with the minimalist's way of thinking.  As Sally put it, this week we're going to "use the minimum to get the most" and capture a "beautiful black and white photo of ourselves".

 

Man, Sally knows just how to get all of us where it hurts! 

 

Self Portraits.
(Every one's favorite, right?!!)

 

I do have to give her credit though.

At least with the black and white minimalistic approach, you can't see as many of my wrinkles and all those icky blotches and scars on my skin from too many years of poisoning myself with the sun's rays aren't so harsh!
 

 

So, here I was figuring out how the heck to use the 'reverse' photo thing on my phone,...

Keeping with the minimalistic approach
here I am 'sans-jewelry'

I'm using my phone because I needed the practice taking more photos with it. I no longer have my iPhone - Logan has it now - but an htc rezound and I think it takes much better pics (usually) than my iPhone ever did.

Although these, for whatever reason, are a bit more blurry than normal. Sorry about that.
 

 

Okay,...here we go.

Steady,...and snap.

 

And, here I am making faces at Sally and
'scolding" her for making us take 'selfies'!

LOL!!



 

 

It was fun playing around with the Black and White edits, but I think I like my actual camera over my cell phone when I'm going to edit photos.

I'm excited to see everyone else's photos because I know they are going to be super artistic, creative, fun and fantastic!!

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Having Fun with Photos. Even Selfies!

Cheers,
