moo and you

We tell the world a little about ourselves with everything we do. How we act, what we say, how we dress, what we carry. From our bags to our blogs from our coffee mugs to our cameras. Our words, our images, our facebook status, all express who we are.

There's a self portrait of me in my October Project 10 that is just so totally ME - it's me, with my girls huddled, one onto my lap, one resting on my shoulder and all reading a book together on our big bed - it's a perfect shot of one of our many perfect moments together huddled or snuggled and reading, together and I love it http://kirstylarmourblog.com/2011/10/project-10-october-abu-dhabi-lifestyle-photographer/

Altho I don't do a lot of self portraits..I feel as if 'ME' is in everyone of my posts. My vision. My voice.:

This photo is me right now, missing my husband while he's deployed as a civilian contractor in the middle east. (the only place I have the photo online is on a scrapbook page. hope that still works!)

I been taking photography classes all year online and in Jan & Feb this year, the first class I took was on shooting self portraits. I'm sharing my all time favourite one, which is so quintessentially me. I discovered I LOVE shooting self portraits. (Which is quite surprising really-I was the kid who hid under a bed or locked themselves in a bathroom when photo time came aroung.) When you shoot self portraits, you can capture yourself as no one else can. There's a layer of raw truth and vulnerability that only shows up when you're the one pointing the camera at yourself.

Anyway, here it is:

My absolute favorite picture of all time. (Including non-self portraits!) This was the first time I ever achieved, exactly, what was in my head. Taken for Tracey's picture holiday class last year for the prompt "There's no looking back": http://www.flickr.com/photos/anngeedee/5307610812/in/set-72157625804127634

like tara, a selfie from the flight home. i normally hide from the camera but was inspired by meredith winn, of course, and the overall magical experience that was camp shutter sisters.

I love this!! Here is a recent shot of me taken by a friend that conveys TONS about me: http://www.flickr.com/photos/modchik/6255011570/in/photosof-meghandavidson/ And this is a double exposure shot taken by me with one of my beloved Polaroid cameras which also says alot about who I am and how I like to shoot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/meghandavidson/5935081902/in/photostream

This is me with my favorite pose. As often as I can I try learn my camera and to trial and error with it.
Especially if ocean is close, as here in our vacation in spain, i love it:

Every 6ish weeks I get my hair cut and colored. I love how she is able to get it so straight. I can't even come close. So for two days every 6ish weeks my hair looks great, the rest of the time it's in a ponytail.

I'm 7 1/2 months into the most surprising love affair of my life... with this little person who calls me mom. He is fully his own person, but I still see so much of myself in him:

While not exactly "posed", this is my very favorite photo of me. I find that I am forever drawn to laughter photos - and this one is no exception!

I was out shooting in London and came across this sign in a shop-front. It reminded me of something i've heard before; that without love there is no action that isn't in danger of becoming overshadowed by negativity.

This photo reminds me to hold love at my core. I want it to be at the core of all I am & do.

Love Boldly...

I've started experimenting more with self-portrait shots as a way to photograph some of my knitting projects. I took this the day before my birthday back in September. The shot started in my head as just a fun way to showcase the knit gloves but on seeing how it turned out, I loved it for more than that. It has a lot of my personality in it and it combines my three loves: knitting, reading, and photography.

[jennifer gibson]

I was inspired to do a self portrait after watching Billy Idol in "Rock the Cradle of Love". This is the same pose that he struck in the music video, cheeky and fun. I decided to use the new photo of me for my campaign to erase the stigma of wearing hearing aids and promote "Hearing Aids Rock!"

As you can tell, I had fun doing this.

This is me lately. Not feeling totally shattered emotionally, just with my life. So many fragments pulling at me and dividing me.

[Stephanie L]

This is a fun shot of my and my daughter. I know the shot is supposed to be ME but my little girl has so much of me in her. So when I took this, it wasn't just me feeling pretty enough for a photo. It was enjoying my little girl who just finished wearing my shoes, my perfume, and my smile. After all, she is a little part of me.

Oh man, I love Moo stuff! Here is a recent self portrait I did. It's very me and how I feel right now. At peace (mostly), happy (VERY), sure of myself (a new development) and excited (about my brand new photo business).

This photo pretty much sums it up for me, doing what I like to do...and compensating for being terribly self conscious about having my own picture taken. I can live with this one:

My hubby always says that my eyes give me away, I'm always smiling.. People at work and in my life will sometimes ask how come I am so happy, I say "why not" there is so much to be thankful for .. so here I am, Me & my cup of coffee.. this is exactly how you will see me all the time!

I have a thing for reflections and the shot-in-a-mirror. potentially cliche, but I think it still says a lot about how we frame (and re-frame) ourselves, our days.

Self portraits are something that are scary for me. . . especially at 36 weeks pregnant.

[georgia]

do the photos of us have to be taken by us? or can they be taken by another? if the former, than disregard my comment/link. but if they can be photos that were taken of us by someone else, than here is my link...
http://itsjusthowiseethings.blogspot.com/2011/10/certainty-of-motherhood.html

these were taken by a dear blogger friend of mine... while i was nursing my son. these photos are so me right now... this is my world. and i would not have it any other way.

p.s.
i SO love the photo in this post!
you DO have a thing for coffee mugs, don't you??

This image is very much "me". It's the type of work I strive to do in all of my images... easy, fun and full of expression. This was of my closet girlfriends after a great girls weekend in Pismo Beach, CA. It's exactly what I envisioned for the image... http://www.flickr.com/photos/juicypics/6265241973/in/photostream

And this is simply a picture of "me"
