Self-Portrait:: Present Yourself to EF

.
.

How many are willing to post your mug-shot in the internet?


Is Interpol looking for you - is that what you are afraid of?

Calling on your creativity... Show us your self-portrait

.
.


Self-portrait is a photo taken of yourself, by yourself. Here from Wikipedia:
"A Self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted,
photographed, or sculpted by the artist.
"

Not asking for you to buy oils and canvas... we have the easiest method
available in your vicinity... digital cameras and handy phones.

.
.


Try something different. It must not be recognizable photo of yourself.
Although, it must be taken by yourself.

Twins not required

Reflection, distorted, shadows, whatever works for you.

.
.


I will start: This is one of my twin and I basking in the early morning
sun at Bryce Canyon, Utah in September 2008.



BTW: Taken using a tripod, two frames blended together....

PS: I don't have a twin

First, you need the camera to work for you!

Photoshop and get to know it better

Re: Self-Portrait:: Present Yourself to EF

Don't have a twin, so can't continue the trend.

Edit: But, wait, I've found a long-lost one albeit she has a blue-eye patch.
