Whitechapel - The Self Portrait Imagethread (May 2008)

The Self Portrait Imagethread (May 2008)

warrenellis — Thu, 01 May 2008 07:46:54 -0700

We're going to launch one of these threads a month. And down the months and years, we'll build up not only a mugshot parade of the Whitechapel crew -- but also, for those who choose to participate monthly, there'll be a record of how we all change and grow (and in my case age horribly).

So. Take a photo of yourself and post it (if you're not sure how -- you put a photo on the web somewhere, a free hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket or your LJ gallery if you use LJ -- Blogger image hosting won't work -- and click the "img" button above to put the address of the image in, the http://) here.

Off you go, my young beauties.

Now too many people are trying to mould me into some perverse facsimile of David Tennant. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Seriously....that's as much of a smile as I can muster before noon....

@WaxPoetic and @chris g :

Thanks!
I did the complimentary version of it with my mobile as well.
As in, I hold the phone (ha!) and let it make a crummy little video of the world spinning around me while the camera moves in sync with me and the chair.

Perhaps I'll dump it on flickr later.
Or I might forget.
Or I might try to find some way to make it more interesting and redo it next month.

@adam gallardo - Congrats!

@Spoon - You look pretty smiley to me, but then my smile is usually pretty crooked so perhaps I'm easily smile-impressed.

I took the following pic as part of a little competition my brother and I have going on, where we each try to surprise the other randomly with a rude gesture. I decided to escalate things a little bit by incorporating mobile technology, taking this pic with my phone and sending it over to him:

That's right--what good is technology, after all, if you can't use it for childish shenanigans with siblings?

Which means I'm back in superhero mode:

Well, it's not too close, but it's the only recent picture I've got right now, and I like the way it turned out, considering it came off the mobile...
This was from today at an abandoned laundry factory of some sort. It was spectacular! (and the mobile, well, I'd misplaced the real camera, but decided to go scouting the place anyway).

and you can't see it, but my hair is rather a bit blue and green

I feel the need to defend myself... with extreme prejudice...

We have a picture of my future father in law with lori in hand.

He is, I suspect, supressing his glee.

Or perhaps one or both of you are dipping into the provided lori-juice, eh?

yeah, the temptation to see what that stuff tastes like went away when i was told the ingredients. no pollen for me, thanks.
if you aren't made happy by a brightly colored exotic bird on your shoulder, there's something wrong with you.

Peter used to say, ‘The only thing an artist can do is describe his own face.’ You’re doomed to being you. This, he says, leaves us free to draw anything, since we’re only drawing ourselves. Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It’s all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self-portrait.

@Zoetica

So that's what Shitfaced looks like? Maybe I should give fecalphillia another go... ;)

---you see I write these flattery jokes, and then feel all kinds of guilt; I'm subjecting innocent strangers to the initial cheesiness, hurting my wife’s feelings (even she should know there’s no one who could hold a candle to her), then acting the coward for putting it on a word file and chickening out before posting it.

It’s a vicious cycle.

But I ride it with love.

@Egon I thought this was the monkey picture database. ;)

Lovely Sara, you are very adorable.

And as this is the self-portrait thread:

Taken earlier this month while still in Paris.

(I am breaking my little rule about only using crap cameras and candid shots for the whitechapel self portrait thread because I am just returned and too jetlagged for you to be permitted to look upon me. I assure you it is your best interests that concern me.)

Mike... it looks as if you've landed on an island and have conquered the lizard's with your awesomeness... only thing missing is a chick in a tattered bikini and a guitar around your neck.

The Self Portrait Imagethread (May 2008)

Mike Wolfer — Wed, 28 May 2008 20:39:55 -0700

The guitar I can do (bass), but in the last few years I've been sticking to the mic... It's much easier to act a fool under multi-colored lights in front of a room full of strangers when you're not encumbered by a 60 pound ax. (Oh- I am talking about performing in a band, in case there's any confusion.)
As for the "chick", you'll have to ask my girl Tammy about that if you can make the Philly or Chicago Wizard shows or Comic Con in San Diego. I think she can be persuaded if she's had enough Grey Goose. Hell, I can be persuaded to do some ridiculous things if the Jagermeister is flowing. Let's hope to God there aren't any Karaoke machines near any of those cons...

That dress is BEAUTIFUL. Almost makes me wish I were a girl so I could wear it (and make it look good.)

The Self Portrait Imagethread (May 2008)

Wed, 28 May 2008 22:02:23 -0700

@rickiep00h:

Thanks! I actually got it many years ago at a second hand shop for about $10. I like it a lot and it works over a cotton tshirt and tights (like you see there) if I want to be a little more casual, or over a little lace top and stockings if I want to dress up, or just on its own if I want to be outright saucy.
It makes for a great travel garment as a result of the flexibility and the fact that it can be washed out in a sink.
I try to pack pretty light.

Gawd bless Algie the Floyd Pig. I love the fact that it got torn free of its moorings and Heathrow ground control actually had to advise airplanes in the region to "watch out for the giant flying pig."

Just to keep things on topic. Weird recent iBooth photo of me on a plane (no retouching/editing of any kind):
