Can’t Take Photos of Myself

Mr. Basketmaker has been hounding me to show pictures of me working on paintings for my upcoming show in June. I reminded him several times that I cannot take pictures of myself painting. So he has taken many a shot. And wonders why I’m not posting them. Well, I guess it’s easier to just give an example…

Every shot he has taken is out of focus. And I’m not sure why that is since the photos he takes of his baskets in his little photo studio always look so perfect. I wonder if there’s a subtle message he’s trying to send me…

The one below is okay but I was not eager to highlight what a hot mess my hair was!! He seemed to capture that very well…

  1. I got a real chuckle out of this one Lynne! Does your camera have a timer on it by any chance? That’s what I use and also put the camera on a tripod. I set the timer for 10 seconds and run like hell to get in position before the damn thing flashes! Course you do have to make sure there’s a clear line for you to run between the camera and posing spot…Trust me, make sure there are NO obstacles in your way! Viola! I should really post some of the “outtakes” of mine, they are really comical, sometimes only the top of my head appear in the shot.

    1. Thanks Cathryn!! Yes, it has a timer and I even have a remote shutter release. But I hardly use it. I’d rather let Eric take the photos and then post nothing at all because they are all blurry.
