Over the past few days I have been trying to take as many photos as possible. I have all of these ideas and themes I want to try out and perfect. I'm considering these first hundred photos as a practice run. Looking over the few I loaded onto my personal computer I noticed some focusing, lighting, and grain issues. All to be expected for my first time really using manual mode on my camera (Canon 60d). I liked a few a lot and hated majority. But that's what being an artist is all about..... so I think.

When I looked at this on my camera I didn't see and of the dust.

Accidental Self Portrait

I love the idea of doing a set of these with different people

Taking self portraits or selfies, as we call them today, has become an art form of its own and they are currently my favorite type of photo's going around. I love being able to see how a person sees, presents, and thinks of themselves. I think we all have different idea of how we each look and should look. I recently came across a photoset of selfies taken by David Uzochukwu who is a 15 year old photographer from Luxembourg. 

This is my favorite photo of his set of Self Portraits, he looks so small and vulnerable.
