Tomorrow is Self Portrait Wednesday.
I'm so bloody bored with my SPs.
Any ideas?
I don't have a shutter release.
I don't have any kind of timer.
I don't want to get so frustrated that I STOP taking SPs, cuz I think it's good for me (pushes me outta my boundaries and comfort zone).
But I won't keep it up if I stay bored.

Try body parts(hands, feet, an eye, etc.), use a mirror. Try a more open interpertation of self-portrait, look at your enviroment, what makes you you.
Hope the ideas help. I never did like self-portraits. I did a series for a final project and I used a mirror.

Hi Toni,
Try these backgrounds/locations:
In front of the open frig
In front of the open frig closet
Lie in a circle of things that express who you are.
Try thinking about the body in a different way:
draw it by heat - which bits would be hotter or colder.
draw just the shadows.
draw the aura that might be around you.
Hi Toni!
Is this an online thingy, or part of a class you are taking? I don't know if you have any "rules" to adhere to, but the first thing I envisioned was a "Teesha Moore" kind of style...using one of the photos of your face on your blog, & cutting out Toni style apparel from scraps of fancy papers, & arms and legs out of newsprint or a printed page from an old book, making your face bigger/out of proportion to your body. Anyhow, that's what came to mind! lol I love your SPs, and wish I had the guts to take some, but the camera isn't kind to me!
Vale :D
The ideas I had have already been covered, so I will just say...
Ooohh...*girlie squeal followed by girlie dance* I can't wait to see what you come up with!
how 'bout a series of SP done with reflective surfaces. Like a shiny bumper or a reflection from a window...just a thought
OMG...I was just saying the same thing to the hubster....what am I going to do for tomorrow !!
reflections...look for anything that gives you a reflection.
We all need to think, thinking will enable us to grasp the pulse of the world. :)
