Tag. You're it.

So, I was tagged by Sheri for this little self-portrait photo thing.

How to play the game:
1. Sit down.
2. Take a picture of yourself right now. don't primp, just snap one!
3. Upload it.
4. Tag 3 people to do the same.
That's all!

I'm bending the rules a little bit because for one, I converted my shot to black and white (is that allowed?) and I am tagging ALL OF YOU to play along.

Grab your camera, sit down and click a shot of yourself, get it up on your blog or at Flickr and leave us the link. We want to see the real you, right here, right now.

I just did this and trust me it won't be playing along! For starters I haven't washed my face or combed my hair and I look kind of disheveled and out of focus... I guess the real me looks too scary to share. Maybe I'll stretch the rules and come back later.

i took this self-portrait 2 days ago, before knowing about this challenge. i became inspired, picked up my camera, stood in front of the mirror and snapped away. oh, i guess i did take the time to match my bra with my undies.

I'm too scary without makeup so my self portrait was badly aimed on purpose. My friend from high is visiting as well...

Here is me: No make-up, after 12 hours of work, 14 since hair-brush and even more scarily, no photoshop.

1. I thought I saw a moth on the ceiling as I clicked.
2. Kinda posed but blurry
3. Trying to work out why 2. was blurry

And sorry, I couldn't sit down as I kept photographing my forehead or ear.

Well, no preening, but I did *happen* to be setting up lights in my basement this evening, so how could I pass up this challenge? No time to but them on flickr too, but I have a few anyhow:

Eek! I always sucked at tag... :-)
I was at work when I read this post, so the shot is from earlier today. I couldn't upload it 'til now though! And so, with no embellishment whatsoever:

I'm sitting in the dark with just the computer for light - so it's a grainy take. We'll call it "photo journalistic" and call it a day. *laughs*
