Adventures: Self Portraits: My Attempt at Modeling

WARNING: This post is admittedly a little self-centered... I think? Probably. Anyway, we all have a right to be self-centered sometimes!

Katarina and I were supposed to do a photo shoot this past weekend in Hawthorne. It was going to be so much fun, Katarina is really pretty so the pictures were to be gorgeous, but this air-headed dweeb left her camera battery charging in Vancouver. So.. that's rescheduled to the middle of January. And my Nana bought me this wonderful tripod for Christmas that I've been trying to find reasons to use! Well, today, it miraculously started snowing (and hasn't stopped) in this wonderful place of Vancouver, so I decided to take crazy weird pictures like this one:

Hair not did. Make up not on. In the clothes I slept in. Oh so charming. So, I then put a few on facebook and immediately thought "people think I'm weird, lazy, and uninhibited," which is generally all true, but I felt the need to get pretty and take some photos of myself. I was not at all hopeful that they'd turn out okay. I've never "modeled" in my life and just don't really know what to do in front of a camera except put a huge smile on my face or look really... really weird. So, I shall share a few of my favorites. In an amateur photographers perspective, I like the angle and location that I set my camera up and I didn't edit any of these because the lighting was either pretty okay or pretty good and I actually liked the unfocused falling snowflakes. Sooooo. Here are some.
SECOND WARNING: Some of these pictures clearly expose my stomach. If it offends you, scroll past them. It wasn't quite intentional. Also, my stomach looks less than attractive in at least one photo. It's the season of "eat so much more than your body can accommodate," so get over it. :)
