In Which You Ignore Awkward Expressions

Most of you know that I don't often post selfies on here... or anywhere for that matter. I'm super scared of the other side of my lens. Yup. It's weird, but it's true. I'm not a photogenic person. Here, see for yourself...

That's a tripod shot. And yes, that snowball is actually directed at you. And no, I don't often wear that expression.


SOOC Shot
Still awkward... but not that much.


SOOC Shot
Ummm... yeah...


SOOC Shot
This is a fail at a tuck jump shot. Someone pointed out that I look like I'm dying... which I don't deny. 
I can't even believe I'm posting these on my blog. Extremely humiliating. I don't normally look like this guys... really.

These are from last Saturday. Snow is all gone now though.

If you buy Downhere's newest album (The Altar of Love) from their website, you can get one of their older ones for $5. Seriously, you need to get it. It's awesomely amazing!


p.s. I sold three of my prints today! It was pretty exciting!

  2. This post literally made me giggle. Not out of mean-ness, but because those pictures of you are so hilariously awesome.

    Okay, I feel really bad for not choosing the prints earlier (when I said I would). It's so hard to choose! :) I promise I will choose tomorrow. Not even kidding. PROMISE.

  5. Those shots are awesome. I think it's cool that you posted those pictures of yourself, even if you felt a little insecure about them. And seriously, I would give just about anything to post pics of myself, but it's against house rules. Maybe someday...

    xoxo,

  7. I totally relate to this post. I too am very awkward when it comes to being in front of the camera, I can direct other people into wonderful poses and everything but me? nope just ends up looking pretty much like yours but worse :)

    Congrats on selling prints! Your photography is beautiful.
