Photo Challenge #1 - Self Portrait

 I decided to participate in a photography challenge as outlined on Miranda Wandering's blog here.
 I thought the same thing as Miranda; how hard would it be to do one photo a week? I WAS WRONG!!! It is harder than I thought! Here we are two weeks into the new year and I am just getting ready to begin the challenge!
I needed a camera, and I found an old one in an antique shop. The man told me that the older cameras take the best portrait photos. I purchased it and came home only to realize that it does not have a timer button, and you have to hold it to take photos. Not so good for self portraits! Oh well, the old, 'take a photo in the mirror' trick will work.
Well, we will see how I go with this challenge. 
Until next week, 
Cheerio,
Isabelle

  1. LOL! I was tempted too but have no camera and was not about to purchase one. Besides, I suspected, it would be a bit more difficult than one would think ;-)
    I joined an art journalling challenge myself and there too I struggle to make a daily entry. Sometimes you're just not in the mood or too busy doing other (joyful) things...
    Ah well, your first picture is a beauty! I am looking forward to the other 51 ;-)

  3. Your first picture looks great... and the more you'll try the better you'll get to learn your "new" camera.

    Greetings

  4. HI Isabelle!
    Well better you than me, I look at those challenges and think they would be fun, but they take far too much commitment for me. I love blogging, but when it suits me, I find when I HAVE to do something, it just becomes a chore. So all my good wishes go with you and I hope you have lots of fun with it...I am quite happy to watch you from the sidelines. :)
    Hugs,
