Okay, be kind people ... I'm quite camera shy. :) I'm a bit frustrated with this. Using my digital camera and holding it at arms length. (I feel like I need a dial like in Poser to zoom the camera in a bit. LOL) I tried to zoom but ended up cutting all but my nose out of picture. Unless I have a tripod for this I don't think I'm going to get rid of the whole pointy look I have going on here. Please excuse the dark circles and white roots ... I've had a tough year .. what a shock to me to see how much it's showing ...

Wow you got the hold in your hand trick to work. I always use a tripod. It takes longer but I don't wind up with quite as manny pictures of the ceiling. You look fine to me. The red blouse compliments you hair perfectly. Bsteph

Thanks! I have a tripod but my son broke it while photographing a lunar eclipse in January 00. The cold night combined with his inexperience cracked a few pieces of vital plastic and I haven't relaced it yet.

erm, how do you type a wolf-whistle? Strangely enough, this is quite how I'd pictured you in my mind's eye! I've done this trick myself several times coz I'm too lazy to do the tripod/timer thing, but I'm not even going down the road of putting a picture on until I've had a haircut & shave. (Considering my total HATE of shaving, this narrows it down considerably. Aw, shame, huh?!?)
