I just got my new Canon Rebel this week and I've been messing around with it trying to learn how to use it. I figured I'd start my 365 project with a self portrait of myself, even though I look gross after school. Normally I'm more photogenic but still I really liked this photo for some reason. You know how people say that artists paint people the way they see them? Well, I think this photo looks exactly the way I see myself: not ugly necessarily, but not out of this world, beautiful, kinda plain and tired. So it's my painting of myself I guess. I also liked this photo because it reminded me of the head-shots I've seen or the pictures of the authors on the backs of books.
