could you do it?

When my lovely friend Jenni posted that she was participating in this 30 day photo challenge, I just had to jump on board too! I've been looking for one of these to take part in, so I will do my best to stay on top of it ;)

I may just post a few photos in one post though, depending on how far behind I get haha.

Here we go for Day 1! I actually took this a few days ago... does that count? Give me some slack, I'm just getting started ;)

Self Portrait

I always find that I can't ever take a decent picture if someone else is the one snapping the camera. I'm not sure why, but when I'm alone with the lens I'm just comfortable. Put a person behind it and my face does all kinds of weird things.

As I'm typing this, I keep glancing up at my self portrait. I'm pretty critical of myself sometimes. I see things in the photo that I would change and other things that make me self conscious. I wonder if other people see me the way I see myself.  Whether good or bad. I got to thinking the other night... how strange would it be to not see yourself for a long period of time, and then finally get a glance?  Would you think of yourself differently? Would you still see all of those things that you had become familiar with or would you start to see yourself in a different way?

I started throwing the idea around about doing an experiment.  What if I didn't look at myself in the mirror for a week? It be obviously be extremely hard to do, but could I do it? I'm quite tempted. Anyone care to join me in a little experiment?  Do you think YOU could do it?
