I like being behind the camera. That's why there are so few photographs of me; I typically am the one taking the pictures, not posing. And that suits me just fine.
But for the first Art Creations Friday challenge of the new year -- a vintage photograph in a vintage frame -- I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and work on altering a photograph my sister-in-law Heather took when we were on vacation together back in '08. A photograph of me. (Actually, the original was a photograph including the captain too, but I've cropped out my own head shot here.)
Instead of using the vintage photo in the challenge, I chose instead to use the lovely frame and insert a photograph of myself, altered to look "older". I cringe at bit at this, but am using it just the same. All in the name of exploring new horizons this year.
Just don't expect to see this very often!

You look lovely, and the frame is quite special.
I thought the frame was an unusual one too. You are so creative to use it instead of the little girl image.
Great entry.
Thanks so much for the comment on my granddaughter's entry with the red shoes. This was her first attempt at any digital art.
It is so nice to be able to put a face to the name! You look marvelous.
Now that is a great idea for a challenge - self portrait, I wonder if it will happen? Very clever idea of yours & has worked well!

I really like this ...both the photo of you and what you did with it. It's so you ...so tender and sassy!
Nice frame and vintage look.
I can relate with you about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera, never have felt comfy in front of it, like you I prefer doing the snapping.
