This week Sally asked us to introduce ourselves to you with a black and white self photo.  I took mine goofing around with the Photo Booth program on my lap top.  I was going for some moody, I-am-so-an-artist kind of shots at first....


What's funny is I didn't add that pixelated effect...that just happened in the Photo Both to Aperture to .jpeg conversion.

Then I posed in a more honest, less trying-to-be-artsy way...


Still pixelated.  Hmmm.  The room was darkish.  So just now I snapped another one.  I think I like it best.  I'm even wearing non-sweats and jewelry - bonus!


(For you Star Wars geeks out there, yes, that is a scale model of an AT-AT on the file cabinet behind me. It's Lego and motorized so it actually walks - I bought it for my husband and Michael to build together.  It amazingly stayed in one piece, probably because it stays in the office and not in Michael's room)

Speaking of which, we are off to Michael's opening night.  We made it through the crazy week - yay! He is super excited and I can't wait to see him on stage tonight.

  6. Yes, me, too - Like your moody pixelated one. Those, on purpose or by accident, turned out super cool. Beautiful shots of you - all three. And, Enjoy Michael's opening night. I would wish him good luck, but I think the correct thing here is for me to tell him to, 'Break a leg'. :-)

  11. Glad you shared them all! The moody one definitely makes me think "rock star flopped on a couch, I'm too cool" But of course getting to see your beautiful face is best of all
