We wandered around Downtown Portland today in the rain. I took photos of the Steel Bridge.

Me in one year For some inexplicable reason I thought it would be interesting to do a side-by-side comparison from a portrait taken one year ago with one taken today. A year ago I brought my camera to my after school Vista program and let the kids play around with it. One of the kids, Angel, is a natural and he took this portrait of me which I think is rather good!
In December of last year I just had my haircut really short for the last time. Around the first of december I decided to grow it out long. Since then, I have only had a few haircuts and it is now shoulder length. Also, sometime around last summer I started using henna which has turned it red and made it considerably darker.
Oh, and I’ve aged. That’s the depressing thing about doing these sorts of self portrait projects. The whole aging thing. But the good news is that I learned to use the “Skin Softening” brush in Lightroom. so there’s that.

This is what I’m doing today.

Spokane Clock Tower reflection. January 2008 The weekly photo challenge is reflections. I am practically obsessed with this as a photography subject and have explored reflections in my photography for many years. Here is one that I took in January of 2008 in Spokane, WA when I still lived there. I love this photo because of the distortion of the clock tower’s reflection. This was taken when I was very unhappy. I am not a winter/snow person and, as you can see, we were deep in the dead of winter at that time (and we hadn’t even experienced the “Storm of the Century” yet). I was very unhappy living in Spokane and wanted desperately to move. The distortion of the tower reflected the feelings I had inside of me at the time.

I got a new camera!! And it was FREE!! It was very generously given to me by a friend on Twitter. I asked my online friends on both Facebook and Twitter what film camera I should buy. The weirdest thing is that I was literally looking at Cannon AE-1s online and almost talked myself into buying one when my friend sent the tweet, offering his old camera. He put it in the mail a week later and I got it on the day before Thanksgiving. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with two lenses!
I am going to buy a battery and jump in! I can’t wait to play with it!
