Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 28 September 2007 in People & Portraits.
Only photo I had of myself to come up with Dimitrios' self-portrait challenge! Taken 1 year ago I had got sunburned and was pretty wet - sitting on the steps of my daughter and son-in-law's pool, so I charcoal painted it!
From Dimitrios! "Dear friends in the am3 world. I would like to propose the publication of a couple of self portraits for Friday 28th and Saturday 29th of September. It can be anything you like, mirror images which is the easiest, reflection on a spoon! Ha-ha-ha, or even sketches of yourselves. It will be great to see each other and to meet the talented photographers from all around the globe. I have the greatest respect for the people that want but cannot due to cultural or religious reasons publish their image on the web. For these am3-friends that want to participate, I kindly ask them to publish instead a picture of a place in their home town that they are proud of. Please feel free to copy this text with your daily pictures so we have a great participation. I am looking forward in meeting you on 28th and 29th September, see ya soon. Kind regards Dimitrios".
Good Lord! Do I have to find another one for tomorrow! :-o
Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! If there is anything that I can change that really needs changing and I can do it in editing - then I will change it and re-post the photo! I promise I won't scream and shout or cry for very long!

@MaryB: Thanks Mary and I'm so glad I got to see you - yours was a better effort than mine - like you I have very few photos of myself except when I was a lot younger - and it wouldn't be fair to post those, would it? :)
:-) Nice to see you Anne.

Wonderful to meet you Anne!! And I still say you look far too young to have children the age that they are!!!! Love the charcoal effect.

@amy: Twas nice to meet you too Amy! Thanks for the wonderful compliments! The charcoal effects was hiding my sunburn, freckles and generally a multitude of "old". I've used the same photo as an icon - but smaller it doesn't show all the flaws! I have some that I couldn't post (not many photos really) but I look as old as Methuzella!!!!! (Now i don't know how to spell that) ;-)
Nice to meet you, Anne! Cool portrait!

@Lost Valley View: Hi LV! Thanks for coming by! I am not so sure about the charcoal being a neat way of presenting an SP, but it did cover up a multitude of sins on this aging countenance! ;-)
