It's a case of a still life gone cinéma vérité

Meme via ultraruby:

"When you read this you're tagged. Take a picture of you in your current state, no changing your clothes or quickly putting on makeup. NO PHOTOSHOP. Show your F-List the real you!"

Oh, OK then, if I must:



At least this gave me a reason to look up how to take a photo of myself with the webcam on my powerbook ('Photo Booth', if you were wondering). As per instructions I didn't change my clothes, I wouldn't know how to put on makeup quickly (or otherwise), I didn't edit the photo, & I didn't even bother to get up to close the blinds to stop the glare behind me, sorry. So I look tired and washed-out, which is just how I feel.

I did, but I look so washed out I think I need a lie down!

In my case it turns out that if you take a photo of me without stopping to do anything to clothes and hair and makeup you get a picture of me that looks just like a normal picture of me :)

Surprisingly nice light in here in the late afternoon.

I'm intrigued: does your webcam reverse images? Possibly you actually wear your wedding ring on your right hand - or possibly I am, in fact, mad and have forgotten how cameras work.
