self portrait...me

After working 9 hours today at the salon, not taking my camera to work and walking the 1.3 miles home in the frigid cold, the last thing I wanted to do was go out and take pictures (hey, I'm being honest). I plunked myself down on the couch, enjoyed my grilled cheese and homemade tomato soup (props go to Ryan for that) and enjoyed the season premiere of the biggest loser. I had it decided in my mind that I would not take a picture today, but my lovely husband pointed it out to me that I needed to push through the thought in my head that says "I have nothing to capture right now" cause that is when something amazing can happen. With I admit, a little bit of attitude, I picked up the camera and started taking pictures of myself and fiddling around with flash and rear flash modes. This is what I got....and guess what? Not only did I learn a few new camera tricks but I also came to the harsh realization that I desperately need a facial. This one is for you Ryan!!!
