Over the last year I've become increasingly interested in portrait photography and have been really pleased with some of the shots I have taken - of course, they have all been of other people with me behind the camera.
Taking self portraits without the aid of anybody else is a completely different ball game. Just focusing and framing a shot becomes a real challenge.
The hardest bit of the process eventually becomes evident through sharp pains in your knees. Constantly ducking down to view your last shot, setting up the next, then dashing back across the room to get into position before the timer takes the shot is a type of physical activeness I'm not really used too.
In the end, the shots actually turned out pretty good - the other limiting factor for the shoot was the poor availability of light but hey ho - I think I will post the results here soon as they actually have a certain professional quality to them. Professional in a very 90s way though.
This weekend I am completely focused on recording some new work for the Tapper project. I'm also planning on doing some work on the myspace which at the moment, is really just the bare bones of a profile and says nothing about the music that will be hosted there.
Some kind of focus is exactly what I need at the moment - today has not been a very inspiring day - but I'm starting to feel motivated about the weekend.
