Self Portrait
For this photo, I used a giant rabbit stuffy my son received as an Easter gift a couple years ago. It was just large enough for me to set down on my table and use it to set my focus. I would set my camera, runnnnnn to the other side of my table, knock the poor rabbit off, then sit down and act all calm before my shutter snapped. 4 attempts and one cute little bruise later, this is what I have.
Who knew it would be more difficult to snap a photo of myself than all those kids I've chased around?
In hind site, that makes sense, but I have to say it was a lot harder than I expected.
Don't let this expression fool you. I'm really wondering if my leg is about to fall off.
