Photograph yourself meme

[vilakins]

OK, it's the photograph yourself meme again (on LJ anyway).

Take a picture of you in your current state, no changing your clothes or quickly putting on makeup. NO PHOTOSHOP. Show your F-List the real you!

Sadly my camera has no timer so I had to hold the thing at arm's length and shoot till I got my whole face in the shot.



Wind-blown uncombed hair--I'm a bit annoyed that the hairdresser didn't cut the sides short enough last time--and blotchy hamster cheeks. The colour's a bit off because I'm actually wearing purple, not black.

If you'd like to see where I sit when I'm on-line, here's a post showing my computer corner and some fannish stuff. I see that a wooden cat I drew for NaArMaMo shows up in the first photo.

I kind of like the hair. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

:-) That's pretty much how it usually is except for the sticking-out bits and how it's parted over my ear. It needs to be shorter on the sides though.

I probably shouldn't do this one as I'm naked XD

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Perhaps just your naked head? :-)

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

Um....
Haven't got a camera. :-P

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

But you've posted photos, like the cat in Titirangi!

[smiles at your icon]

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

That's hubby's camera. :-D

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ah. And he won't let you borrow it? Anyway, this meme is entirely voluntary. :-)

It's a pity one isn't supposed to get someone else to take the photo or I could have got Greg to get one of me at the computer.

You have a fun selection of icons!

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

I decided I wanted to do all my own so had fun playing with a load of photos and my default son drew for me. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That's very cute. It he interested in graphic design?

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

Yes, and adores art. He and a friend are designing and drawing a comic at the mo. He's got a couple at deviantart already.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

I've been considering putting my stuff there. I'll have to check it out.

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

ooh, comics or art work?
by the way, love the icon....

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Just artwork. Though some of it's very comic-book in style with the outlines and solid colouring. I have some in my profile.

Poor Vila. :-)

Hello, you!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Hi there! :-D

[elmey.livejournal.com]

That hairstyle just suits you so well! I can't do pictures till I get a haircut :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Maybe tie it back, or something? I won't tell. I'm a rebel and don't like arbitrary rules. :-D

[elmey.livejournal.com]

That was my EXCUSE! You're not supposed to find a solution :D

[emerald-happy.livejournal.com]

I like the hair.

I want to do this meme but I got into a glitter fight and have glitter smudges all over my face. Teehee.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

And? You say that like it's a bad thing. :-D

[daiseechain.livejournal.com]

That's quite a good shot given you were hand-holding the camera. You have a kind of Mona-Lisa expression going on.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Well, it was about the 11th one. I kept cutting off part of my head. That was about the best smile I could do at that point. :-)

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think your hair looks good - and it speaks well for the cut, if that's *after* it's been blown about!

I can imagine the difficulty of taking the photo like that, though! I've tried just aiming cameras by hand, and they never seem to point where you think they're pointing...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It is a good cut, but it looks odd here where the streaked top layer has parted at the side to reveal the dark bits the sun never sees (except on a windy day).

It takes a lot of attempts till I get myself all in shot. :-P

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Soooo good to see you - lovely, friendly face!
I like your hair too:-)
About that cosy corner - fantastic, full of cats and exquisitely yours!:-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you for both, but I really should tidy up that area. :-)

[hugs and blessings to you]

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

It is such a joy to know you, dear!*hugs*

[jecono.livejournal.com]

I like your hair! It suits you very well. And I also agree on the lovely friendly face! I'll do this also...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Hello! How are you? Did the birth go well? I look forward to hearing your news.
