The Gallery - Self Portraits

I am normally behind the camera, but I have gone a-rummaging and found some old stuff and made a new thing for this weeks Gallery over at Tara's Sticky Fingers.

When I have my photo taken, I use the traditional method of using my children as a human shield to hide my post baby body.

Here is a good example of this:

And again, here:

Alternatively you can just cut the bits you don't like out of the photo. Like here:

This picture is an extremely unusual one, this is a full frontal that I don't hate. And it has one of my children in it and I appear to be participating in a family activity...because looking at most of my photo's my husband does the fun stuff whilst I am just the person with the camera. I would also like to introduce you to Ted, he's the donkey.
(I am a little concerned I have used 'full frontal' and 'Ted the Donkey' in one paragraph, but hey ho).

So these are me - Mummy.

This is me when I am playing:

I realise I have angry eyes on this one - so here I am again.

So there you have it. Me. Now. A little bit photo-shopped, a little bit disjointed but all me.

The Gallery - It's all about Me

Yet again Tara at StickyFingers has set us another one of her challenges - this time it's a self portrait type thingy.

Now I am one of those people who loves taking photo's but hate having my photo taken. 

So initially, I thought, I know, I will go down the arty road and do this....

But then I saw a message on twitter between Tara and Porridgebrain, where Tara was very sternly telling Porridge, absolutely no photo's of feet. So I'm not going to get away with that then!

Then I thought I could do some clever photo magic

(I'm in the dress and my daughter, Lola is the stripy one)

But I suspect I won't get away with that, as I think she wants something more recent

OK you've got me - this was in the 90's, pre-babies, so something more recent then...

My three year old took this over the weekend (with a little help from hubby) whilst my eldest makes mischief. Now, this is me.
