Bad Self Portraits

Santini has been posting some self portraits lately that are purported to be bad. I thought that I might get in on the fun and try to capture a self portrait or two that might cause a stomach or two to turn. After my afternoon tennis session, after I'd parked in the garage, I stopped in the back yard to try my hand at hand-held, stretched-out-arm self photography. It's not so easy to get anything that you like, but I snapped off six and came in the house to download them. After dinner, I checked with PP and PW to see which of the photos seemed best to reflect my image. I can't say there were any that really stood out, but there were six and after some debate they went with the photo below. It's a profile, an angle that I virtually never see.

This one I liked a little better. I think the subject looks thoughtful, but the peanut gallery thinks he's mad.

January continues. We've reached halfway and so far it's been bearable, but I've been looking at the 10 day outlook for St Paul and Pengilly. I hope they're wrong, but yesterday the weather creatures were predicting a morning in Pengilly next week at -31º F. (That's degrees below zero, not degrees below freezing.)
