It has been said that "a picture is worth a thousands words." I believe that a picture that captures a moment is worth so much more. There are things in life that can't be replaced or relived, but a photograph can bring back those feelings in a rush. To me photography is more than just angles and lenses, its about the little things that become unforgettable.

First Photo Challenge Entry

I ran outside for a quick self portrait... its so bloody hot here in Texas that this will have to do. Hey... At least I'm smiling and not completely squinty! LOL



Taken with my fiance's kodak easy share camera. I did the old "hold your arm out, point at your face, and hope you get it all in the shot" thing. Turned out ok, but I promise I will spend more time and effort on the next challenge assignment :)

    That good ol' tried and tested self-portrait method! :D You got a great shot though; the uncomplicated background draws the eye to your face. (And speaking of eyes, yours are a gorgeous colour!)
