I needed a new pic with my short hair. Sometimes a girl just needs to cut off her hair and start over. This is my attempt at a self portrait. It was taken with all natural light, a tripod and my black velvet backdrop hung over my back door :)

My goodness... what nice words :) You all have made my day ! I wore my hair short for years and only in the last couple years have I let it get so long so most people who have known me for a long time thought this was much more like me... It is just me and my kids and they like it.. Deb Go ahead.. cut it. It has really given me a lift :) Candy, you know I love you chickie :) Thank you everyone else for brightening my day... #5504508Kim McCloud February 16, 2008

Beautiful portrait!!! Your hair is sassy AND sophisticated. Great lighting, clarity and tones! :) #5505191Scott A. McDaniel February 17, 2008
The risk was worth the reward (with the haircut and the capture). I'm always so impressed with great self portraits. No matter how attractive the subject is, it takes a lot of guts to not only put your talent out there for criticism but to put you yourself out there. Thank you for taking the risk. Its a beautiful capture. #5505294Cindy Harter February 17, 2008
Marina and Scott... Thank you for leaving me a comment :) #5506078Wende Trew February 17, 2008
