I believe taking self portraits is a knack.
Which I don’t have…
However, as a solo traveller, I’m quickly learning the right way and the wrong way of doing them;
This is my first self portrait. I’m fed up here, because I can’t work out how to make the self timer on my camera to work. Until now.
This is a “hand holding camera as far away from face as possible” photo. It’s mainly to illustrate my new hair-do, which many of you didn’t see, cause I got it done just before I left Perth… I have red, curly hair now!
Aha! First tip to would-be-self-portrait-takers: don’t cut off the head…
…or frame yourself outside of the shot!
I like this photo. Mainly because I liked my hair that day, and wanted to take a photo of it, because I don’t know anyone in London to show yet! I’m wearing an Alice Band…

The black caricature(page top) suits you pretty well; I wonder how you got hold of it?
