Self-portrait


The theme among the Daily Photo fraternity today is a self-portrait in a favourite place.

I got someone to take a photo a few weeks ago but it was totally out of focus. This Saturday I tried taking one by holding the camera at arms length and shooting.

So here I am on a bench outside the Cotton Bale with my son Craig. I've only been in the Cotton Bale once, with Craig and his mum. They served a nice meal but it was a bit too crowded and noisy. However we understand Craig likes going there with his friends to eat.

Before you all comment, I should add that I've since visited the barber and had my beard trimmed!

To view the other self-portraits of DP bloggers, choose one these numbers:
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 25 - 26 - 27

Craig looks like he's up to something. He's not writing a note on your back, is he???

Was the wind blowing? I like the freckled-one's comment.

Nuno said...

Big hug to you and your son.
Gerald i don't like mustachios but beards are a completely different story.

Carol said...

Hahaha I like this a lot! It's funny how you're both looking away from the camera, like you're being watched and looking back. Fun!
Keep up the good work, Glasgow DP

Hmmm...it seems you're very suspicious of something to your left. Or the camera got you at just the right moment - great photo!

BTW: There's a photo on our site of "La Mere Catherine," and in it, there's a guy who looks strikingly similiar to you - well, similiar to the 'you' in this particular photo. You'll have to let me know what you think.

what a lovely place. sometimes I think that a good place can be a person. sometimes my favorite is my family.

Greetings from PerĂº.

LOL! I hope Mattias is wrong because I am not entirely sure how I can grow a beard to become a successful writer. :)

Yeah, it is a great shot, full of character.

I missed the theme (again), but I am not sure I want to break my camera anyway! :)

Beautiful.

I've just browse, being late, the 26 self portraits. What a super family that DP circus.

Thanks Ham, for that ultimate shot, a family sight, so touching, like the words you write.
