Today’s Photo Friday is entitled: “Self Portrait”
Follow the links below for other entries (I will add links as entries come in!):

(Due to circumstances beyond Julie’s control (just for fun) her self portrait has been delayed!)
It wasn’t difficult choosing which gadget to use for my self portrait – how could I recreate myself as anything other than a Warhol inspired iconic pop art, pseudo Marilyn Monroe? LOL! And of course, I just had to hang my artwork on the wall of a gallery! How could I resist? But then I tried a neat trick – I captured my own reflection in a mirror. Which to use? You can decide which you prefer!

Below: Author – self portrait using my reflection in a mirror!
Entitled: Watching Me, Watching You!
also displayed at the Museum Of Modern Art
Top tip: I found that setting the camera on portrait didn’t work as the flash went off and was reflected in the mirror. So I set it on landscape and voila – it took a self portrait! 
Oh! And just one more!

“Capturing you, capturing me, watching you, watching me!”

Next week’s Photo Friday for 16th May has been chosen by CuriousC:
“Doors, Doorways, & Entries…. to the soul, the house, a city, whatever…”
Future Photo Friday titles:
Friday 23th May : Title by Julie: Emotion
Friday 30th May : Title by CordieB: Phantasmagoria
Friday 6th June : Title by Author: Diptychs
(or Triptychs if you prefer to use 3 images)
(Diptychs – two is better than one! Tell a story in just two frames. Get creative. Think in pairs! The aim of diptychs / triptychs is to make an interaction between two / three photos in such a way that the whole work has a greater value than its components).

I love how you put the photo in an art gallery with people looking at you. How did you do that?
I loved seeing what everyone looked like this week.

Hi Lou, and Tina,
I’m going to write a special post on gadgets this weekend – so you can all join in the fun! I thought we might all then select our own most favourite photo art – and pop it in an art gallery!
What do you think?
CordieB,
Glad you liked my efforts! Thank you so much for the award (anyone can nominate) – I’ve put it on my Photo Friday page with pride (scroll down to see it).
To all participants: I just loved all the self portraits this week – as Tina said, it was just great seeing everyone!
