Camera shy redux

24 July 2006

By an entirely (un)scientific process, we have a winner.

Matthew Pennell - take a bow. You managed to get not just one, but two of the worst photos of me ever taken. Congratulations!

I hope you feel proud.

Dotjay was a very close second though, with this "lucky" shot of me looking like a deranged lunatic.

Both of which make me wish that there were some way to be able to invoke photoshopping on one's appearance in real time, rather than just after the damage has been done and the pixels are committed to memory card.

Cos really, wouldn't it be fun to, on a whim, be able to walk around bathed in a soft sepia glow like this?

Well I think they're fantastic photos. No accounting for taste. :)

That is a fabulous idea! Given the choice, I think I'd alternate between B&W and sepia... but always with the glow. Nice third shot - self-portrait?

Based on the first photo, I can say it's quite frightening how fast your hair grows. And you're right, the soft sepia one is nice. I'll not mention the middle one...

I tend to run as soon as a camera comes out, sadly there are far too many times when I am a bit worse for wear that I miss the lense... and committed to the world are images that should never see the light of day.

I agree.

Long live sepia.
But would we continously bump into each other's sepia, and if so, what would happen?

Lori: Yup. Self portrait as usual. Not bad for a camera phone though.

LMM: In my world, whenever sepia collides, the shade would equalise and those concerned would become a beautifully delicate tableaux.

Hi, Stopping in on an Amazing Lace "pitstop." I agree, I like the last picture! Sepia tones are so flattering :)

I have a copy of 'Glow' on my office wall, brightens me up every time I look at it.

I love you any way you look. I know the hysterics pic so well. Do like the sepia one though.

I think I'd like to walk around, permanently over-exposed.

No wait, that's not right...

I told you mine wasn't the worst photo of you ever! :)
