New Perspective

Earlier this month I came across {In the Picture}:new perspective a new to me self portrait challenge with Urban Muser and thought I would give it a bash.
The remit was to take a portrait/s of yourself in a manner that you wouldn't normally attempt so that if you like colour go for black and white or, if you are like me on the whole a hands and feet person to be super brave and have a go at including your face.

not a very inspiring picture because I am not super brave but I like it because the poster was advertising a tapas Trail and we live in a town that holds an annual sausage trail

 I am not,as you will all be aware,a photogenic person,but there is something  I find compelling about taking photos of myself ... eager and as hopeful as an old Californian gold prospector that one day the elusive ultimate nugget of a photo will turn up and I can retire satisfied that I am possibly not quite as horrific as I feel I am.

new sunglasses....sorry Pogs!

 Anyway,I wasted most of the month and thought that my recent sojourn away would provide ample opportunities for self portraiture...wrong.Too busy looking for somewhere for my daughter to live combined with eating and basking basilisk-like in sunshine meant only a few selfies were snapped and the vast majority of those were discarded.Not so much a new perspective for me either.More of a new environment as my selfies mostly get taken either at home or in the garden and generally in the gloom.

early morning hotel room...crocheting.
