Doper Self-Portrait Thread

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Post a picture of yourself! (It doesn’t have to actually be *taken *by you.)

Here’s one of my from the front and one from the side that I took just now. Sorry for the Myspacey pointing-the-camera-at-yourself quality (and it’s not a very good camera, either). I like the angle of the profile one, but it came out a bit blurry and with bad color balance, and this is *after *I did a bit of work on it in GIMP.

Also, I’m thinking of using one of them to replace my old Facebook profile picture (gah, I look so different after six months!); which one do you think would be a better choice?

I like the one from the front. The side one seems blurry or something.

How about a different haircut? (Just kidding! )

Here’s one of me taken last fall, sitting around a bonfire. I think I had my camera set for low light, which kinda explains the weirdness.

4

Here is my current Facebook profile picture. Just pretentious enough for me, I like it.

5

I totally missed the other picture thread! :smack: Oh well, this will just be for regular pictures and Facebook-style shots, that don’t have anything to do with before/after.

When I saw “self portrait” my first thought was drawings/paintings/etc but then I saw it was photos. So as a compromise, I’m putting in a photo of myself painting a self portrait.

7

That’s a *big *painting. I saw it in the other thread, but I didn’t realize it was larger than a typical canvass.

Good Lord Vox you have Latin all up in your responses/sig and HOW old are you?

9

Sixteen, something I’ve not really tried to hide. (No offense towards you, it’s just that some people have tried to use it as a “GOTCHA!”, as if I were.) And if I were an old man, I would have *forgotten *all the Latin. :wink:

Here’s onebefore I cut my hair.

Here’s onewith medium-ish hair.

And here’s onewith really short hair. It’s more like this last one now.

11

Yeah, but I could totally see that side shot cast as a Roman coin.

Must be some program out there to do that…

12

As if this board didn’t make me feel stupid enough…I have to deal with your genius.

(I really need to edit this cuz that sounded mean. I am very impressed by your (and the rest of the doper nation for that matter) intelligence. You keep on doing what your doing good sir, and I will be jealous

13

Wow Jetgirl you are a very very pretty girl!!!
I personally liked your first picture because I have a thing for long hair, but all three are very nice.
Jetguy is a lucky guy

My picture is in my profile, where it belongs. But here is one taken just the other week, showing what I look like when I’ve been hitting the vino, which is probably a more natural state for me. :wink:

Well, I declined to post this one in the naked Doper pics thread a while back since the tone there went straight for “amateur porn.” So for those of ya who asked for it then, here’s the self-portrait in question:

This is an actual self-portrait (as in, I made the shot myself). Mid-summer 2006, this was about half-way through chemo.

This is a more recent portrait of me, although not a self-portrait, obviously.

Goddamn I love chu hai. Damn you for reminding me of that wonderful stuff. :wink:

17

Kaio, an intriguing portrait (first one). I like how the teddy bear is looking away the same direction you are.

I like your boots in the second one!

Self portrait

I know it’s probably just the way the shadow is distorted along the ground, but it looks like you’re riding a rhinoceros.

Who says I wasn’t? :slight_smile:
