I did consider changing out of my smeggy old decorating clothes, doing something to my hair and putting some make-up on, but in the end I decided that it would be more honest to capture myself just as I was, paint splats and all.

Day 99
I spent today putting the finishing touches to the house in readiness for the final building inspection tomorrow. While I was putting sealant on the tiles above the bathroom sink, I got the idea of taking a self-portrait using the bathroom mirror. I've never taken a self-portrait using a mirror before, and I guess it's a rite of passage most photographers go through at some point.

I like this. I think if you'd stopped to do hair and make up etc. you'd have lost the freshness and spontaneity of it.
ReplyDeleteI love this photograph Helen!!!
