Self Portrait

This weeks theme on the Gallery is Self Portrait. Yeahh I know, it’s most narcissistic and whatevs but I actually really wanted to join in with this as I’m having epic self-confidence ishoos atm. I wanted to prove to myself I could post a picture of meself on the interwebz without lashings of slap on me face, a few sneaky filters to make me look all glam and mysterious and a clever camera angle to make me look 8 stone.

Anyway. This is me. Face on. About five minutes prior to writing this. No filters. No trickery. No fancy angles. No taking 1,374 different photos and selecting the best one.

Ta-DAAAA!

But obvs I couldn’t NOT do a stupid face. Soz about that.

Hello campers! What time is it? It’s SATCAP TIME! *waves pants in the air*

This weeks offering is a drawing by the Bean, which I thought was too comical not to use. I’m a sharer, what can I say? C’mon, I DARE you to think of a witty / whimsical / disturbing caption for it. DARE YOU.

For more #SatCap frivolity and giggles, please pay the red-haired vixen Mammasaurus a visit and get stuck into some jolly good captioning!

Ready? #SatCap AWAAAAAAY!

First week of The Boy and Me’s 365 Project, done. SHAZAM. It is a slight challenge for me, as I don’t tend to take photos daily, I usually just take LOADS every couple of days, sporadic photo orgies if you will, but I’m saving meself now. Although, I can’t quite claim I’m going for quality rather than quantity here… Ahem.
