Week 8 Good to Wow "self portrait"

Week 8 of the Good to Wow photo challenge. This week's theme is Self Portraits/couples.  I chose the self portrait because I don't know if my hubby would humor me. LOL!

I set out with some trepidation and feelings akin to extreme vanity.  What am I doing taking up time taking photos of me?  I rationalized it thinking that I have very few photos of me, few photos of me looking good and nearly no photos of me with my hair down - which my hubby would very much like.

These are my SOOC shots.  However, taking photos of me was a bit of work: jumping up and down trying to get it just right.  And then the house is warm (set at 75 degrees by a LA born husband who has vowed never to be cold) I'm having hot flashes and did I say my hair was down?

So I worked up a bit of a sweat.  Finally I whirled up my hair and finally I handed the camera over to Blondie who took the last few photos of me.

 I had some trouble getting focused.



I'm also not sure what I'm doing that causes that haze over some of my photos.
