It was a great trip. It was fun to have a little break and do things our way--we got to do things our husbands never would've gone for, like watching a super girly movie at the theater, watching cute boys play volyball, and fulfilling one of my forgotten childhood dreams:
I made the picture very small so it's less embarrassing. But it was really fun. When I was little, there was an "old time" photo studio on the Homer spit, and I always wanted to do it, but my parents thought it was silly and expensive (which it is...). So a couple of months ago I finally got to do it.
We also did some great exploring and sightseeing. I was thrilled to be traveling with someone who is as enthusiastic about self portraits as I am. We must've looked a little pitiful taking them, because many passersby offered to take a picture for us. Sometimes we accepted, sometimes we didn't.
You might wonder why I would post such an awful picture of myself, but I just had to because it cracks me up everytime I look at it. What makes it so funny is that I was NOT making a face on purpose! This was a test shot to see if we'd be able to get haystack rock in the background (and turned out to be the only shot that did). That's just my 'the-sky-is-brigh-and-I'm-concentrating' face. I wonder how many times per day I make that face without realizing it!
Here's a few *slightly* better shots:
I like that picture, it says you. I hope your doing well.
ReplyDeleteAnd it will be fun to hang out if/when your inportland again.
I was at the Hostel International in Seaside not long after you! It was really cute. I really like Seaside, we used to go there on vacation when I was little.
ReplyDeleteBy the way self portraits are great, and I could tell that was your its way bright and i am concentrating look!
