This is me now … Self portraits and self esteem

I’ve never been very comfortable posting pictures of myself
It feels self involved and conceited. But I’m realizing now that it represents self esteem. I’m trying to be more comfortable with myself, with letting people get to know me. And one of the ways I’m doing that is by posting self portraits. I love photography and want to find a way to do more of it. Then it dawned on me that I HAVE been doing it. I’ve been taking self portraits for years and using them for sketching because I make a pretty good subject. I’m available, I’m accessible, and I know what I’m looking for.
So to “self therapize”, I’m posting them from now on.

  1. Greate use of drastic shadows.

    Re: the post prior, beautiful scenerie. Where is it? The painting looks alive, you’ve reproduced movement and breeze.

  2. It’s from a picture I took a long LONG time ago. It was either driving in cap st-Jacques, or at the arboretum (near st-Anne’s). I just remember driving my little vw cabrio and having to pull over to take a picture.
