A Roll Of Self-Portraits and Other Things

A few weeks ago I started this roll with the main goal of taking as many self-portraits as I could.

It's pretty hard not to take a picture of yourself that is not blurry with a film camera. But it was a lot of fun. All the pictures I took of myself were at moments of leisure. Sheer joy and relaxation.

Let's start now, because the whole roll won't show itself. :)

First one of the roll: FAIL. Blurry.

Second one: FAIL. Back light. (What a rookie mistake btw)

Finally! With the additional challenge of posing with the cat. Not an easy challenge.

This series of the three pictures were taken during a moment of pure bliss. I was reading this awesome book, A Cupboard Full of Coats by Yvette Edwards, drinking wine, I was really enjoying myself. Plus the window was open and I could hear everything going on in the building court. Dishes clinking, people talking, our opera singer neighbour singing... And I could smell a lot of different things, food, laundry detergent of clothes hanging out to dry at the windows, cigarette... I trully enjoy this. Being able to feel life happening around me by the window.

Posing in the bathroom with the Zenit EM I just got in the mail.

Don't mind the disgusting looking window, we live in a very old apartment.

This is embarrassing. This is our living room on a particularly messy day. It's chaos. And it's all my fault. I make a mess everywhere I go.

Tea time. Always a blast.

The light bulb had just burnt out and I couldn't work without light so we installed the bed side lamp there. I thought it looked so cozy, I had to take pictures!

My bangs grew way too much.

Another book, another peaceful moment.

Just got back from the craft fair in Chatillon with my face painted. Good thing I didn't rely completely on my film camera and I took pics with the digital one as well because this pic is yet another fail. :)

Chilling (and showing off my scissors and thread tattoo)

Messing with Hopi who so doesn't care.

To finish up the roll, I decided to take pictures of me in front of my drawings. I'm planning on really doing something with them. I'm making more and more jewelry using them and I'm thinking of launching a crowd funding project in order to buy a badge making machine. 

I love drawing and I'd like to do more of that in the future.
