Self-portrait – Photos and Migraines

In Vivian’s Shadow – Snapshot of the Day, No. 282

Ok, I’m nowhere near being in Vivian Maier’s shadow, but this is more of an ode to one of her self-portraits. She is definitely one of my favorite photographers. She has a new book out on her self-portraits. I can’t wait!!!!

Self-Portrait With Shadows – Snapshot of the Day, No. 245

Well, I don’t call it Photos and Migraines for nothing. I had a doozy of a headache today. I stayed home from work, too.

Be sure to check out the trailer of an upcoming documentary on her life. There is also a newContinue reading “Ode to Vivian – Snapshot of the Day, No. 167”

Snapshot of the Day, No. 15

Boo. This one is not that great. Oh well. I’m rusty on my self-portraits. It was easier when I was using masks. But I may start an “Un-Masked” series. My excuse: I have had a migraine for the past several days. Yeah, that’s it.

Coke and Mirrors — Day 12

I couldn’t resist. A Coke delivery truck pulled up next to me while I was trying to decide what my photo of the day would be. Hmmm. I decided to take it as a sign considering I have such an addiction to Coca Cola. My mouth literally waters whenever I see the logo and theirContinue reading “Coke and Mirrors — Day 12”
