I wish that I was imaginative enough to come up with this idea myself, but alas, I am not. I am totally biting this from The Daily Sabs. But here I go: I’m starting a daily self-portrait blog.

The thing is, when I was young and skinny and fresh-faced, I was so damned photogenic. I actually looked better in photos than I did in person. But now I’m older and bigger and my skin is looser and duller, and I am basically terrified of getting in front of the camera.

So this is how I’m going to overcome my fear of this side of the camera. My photo skills are seriously lacking so hopefully I’ll gain some knowledge for the other side of the camera as well.

In order to make things a bit easier on me, I may be use Photoshop, Picnik, etc. on the more unflattering pics. I won’t make myself skinner or anything, just blurry. Baby steps, people.

When we first moved into our apartment, I had all of these lofty decorating ideas. Unfortunately, 3 and a half years later, we’re still living in something hardly nicer than a college dorm room.  This is a piece of fabric that I bought at Ikea and tacked above the bed. I think I still like it; maybe I’ll get it framed or something. But probably not.
