Adventures in Self Portraiture

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 9, 2008, 3:16 PM
I know that I had promised more paintings this week. I need to learn to stop promising things and just post paintings as I do them. I just didn't paint this weekend because I'm running low on paint... and, well... I was feeling lazy. *shrugs*

So instead, I decided to get some experiments with photography, makeup and self-portraiture out of my system. For the longest time, I've been wanting to do my eye makeup all dark and crazy, but I really don't have that many occasions to do so. I also feel as though, even though I am no model, that I am a moderately attractive person. However, I am extremely un-photogenic. I NEVER look good in pictures, EVER. So, today I tried to kill two birds with one stone. I did my makeup all crazy AND I did my best to get some photos of myself taken that don't make me look like crap. LOL

Anyway, I felt like a giant dork posing and snapping shots of myself... and maybe I am a giant dork? But I think I got some reasonably good photos out of the deal. Let me know what you think.
