Taking a self portrait was definitely more difficult than I thought it would be. You'd think I'd be used to taking pictures of myself by now but in reality, I had no idea what the expectations for this challenge were. I even googled "How to take a self portrait" because I was so lost. Truth is, I find it easier to be behind the camera than in front of it. I never know what I should do with my face, my hands, my body, etc. I just find it super awkward. Google results for "How to take a self portrait" included being creative and making sure that the photo displayed the person you are. The photo I chose to upload as day one of this photography challenge was taken by mistake. I was messing with the self timer settings right before I got in position to take the picture, and when I pressed the shutter button I realized that I forgot to set the timer back up. I think this photo displays who I really am because I was caught off guard by the premature snap of the camera, which also happens much too often.
