Week 7 [08-09]

So over the past few weeks as the learning curve has been climbing, I decided that the absolute scariest thing to do would be to attempt some type of "self-portrait." I've never really cared for pictures of myself, and figured that I'd never attempt it.

So that's what I did.

And thank goodness, because this week was a fast one! I need to start working on next week's TOMORROW!!!

It's a tad blurry...I had a teeny-tiny bit of help from Cole when it came to getting a total head-on shot, and then adjusted brightness and contrast levels as I'm finding I like bright, colorful photos.

Still not a huge fan of it, but it is what it is and I tried something I was afraid of, so I guess that's a plus. :)
