For this week’s prompt, “Stripes,” I wanted to challenge myself. I haven’t taken any self-portraits in a while (none this year, I think) with my real camera. My husband found the remote thing that plugs into the top of the camera so I had a plan to use it with the remote, since I have a million articles of clothing with stripes on them (that’s a slight exaggeration).

And then I couldn’t find the actual remote. So. This was even more challenging, since I had to just use the timer. Anyway. Here’s what I came up with (I played with Lightroom editing some, too).

What do you think? (I’m totally and completely self-conscious about them)

Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I are doing this year.

Don’t forget to join our Flickr group or share your own posts if you’d like to follow along and work on your own photography! And use the hashtag #throughthelensthursday to connect with others working on it, too.

Next week’s prompt is SHINE.
