PhotoHunt
SELF PORTRAIT
It's been a while since I've participated in Photo Hunt, having had a little hiatus from blogging. I'm going to treat this theme as being a Portrait of Self, rather than Self Portrait. You can paint yourself easily but photographing yourself, well that requires more organization.
Now I'm not planning on using this photo anytime soon, but I call it my Funeral photo. You know the one they have on a stand at the front of the church at funerals. The departed one looking his or her very best. Obviously it's not current. I was in my mid forties at the time but I've always liked it for some reason. Yes, I do have that very pale, very freckly, Celtic skin, even today, thirty years later, although the flash washed it out a little.

What a beautiful portrait!
Happy weekend.

It's a very nice portrait jmb. I shudder to think what one the not-wife would use for me!
That is a beautiful portrait. I see that you have very happy moments in your life.
I have prepared a portrait for my own funeral too. I want to be remembered for what I am.
JMB I love that photograph of you. That's a great choice for the theme.
JMB, Looking good.. nut not so morbid pleeease.
A really lovely photo :-)
It's lovely but I hope it doesn't have to do its job for a very long time yet!
And there was me thinking you were a particularly bright and intelligent West Highland white terrier!
That is a lovely photograph. I hope you have had a good weekend :-)
Like Gledwood, I was a little surprised.
Definitely a lovely portrait JMB. Like how you twisted the theme just a tad to work this in :)
Beaut Mate!
