Portraits

I do not often find a picture of myself I can look at for any length of time.  My son, Jon, took this and as I cropped and played with the color, I decided I could look at it for a while and share it with others.

Why is it that finding a pictures that tells a story about myself is hard?  I usually and looking through the camera, not on the front end of it so I just don't have a lot of practice.  I am highly critical of photos I take anyway, so looking at myself is hard.

Then, too, I am getting older.  I have several years and a few extra pounds that I just hate putting in front of a camera that adds to both.  But then, what is reality if not a picture of life.  I will let this one stand.  It really symbolized where I like to be and what I like to be doing.  Hopefully I can put more up on my Facebook site and other places, but that would mean I would have to get out from behind the camera and I don't know how comfortable I am doing that.

Hum.
