Photography Idea: Capture Yourself While You Capture The World.

by Allison Worthington on August 27, 2010| 10 Comments

I take pictures of myself taking pictures. What? That’s Weird?

Capturing the moment.

At Hotel Giraffe in NYC with Jen and Arianne.

Same dress, different cardigan. :)

At  Rockefeller Center with Barbara.

Mourning for my town.

Downtown Nashville in the days after the historic floods that took so many lives and homes.

oo!

I like to include cool elements to these pictures when I can.

A hallway in a restaurant across the street from SXSW in Austin.

I gotta get a cool camera strap. It's on my list, I promise.

At my sister-in-law’s art show in Chicago during SOBcon.

Sometimes I have to take the picture in the bathroom. Awkward? Yep.

At the Four Seasons in Park City during the EVO conference.

I love that little dude. Disregard all my clutter, mmkay?

I love to capture myself documenting daily life on the big mirror in the family room.

If you are always behind the camera maybe give this a try. It is a fun way to capture yourself in a moment while you are capturing the rest of the world.

Do any of you do this? Am I the only kooky one?
