Mirrored Self Portrait

McAWilliams — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:22:43 +0000

God I feel so dejected without my camera, now I have resorted to looking through old shots to find anything of interest. This one has always been well received on Pix.ie so why not give it an outing here.

Posting is going to be as irregular as this and I cant apologise enough for this but it is out of my hands for now.

The first image of 2009

McAWilliams — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 10:22:10 +0000

So here is the first photograph on McAWilliams.com for 2009, and what a better subject to take an image of then myself. I hope everyone is enjoying 2009 so far and best of luck to everyone heading back to work tomorrow.

McAWilliams self portrait again

I obviously did not take this photo, it was taken by one of my brothers, which I dont know, but I had to put it up, as the majority of self portrait shots I have taken have had a beard included.

Anyhow here is I shaven!

McAWilliams at a signpost

Well Thank god this week is only 1 hour 30 minutes away from ending as I write this post. I have had a shit week in every aspect of the word shit, so what better way to end it with another dark broody photograph, the kind I seem to be enjoying more and more these days, of myself.

I very seldom do self portraits, but I just liked the framing in this.

On another note my mental amount of twittering has not gone unnoticed with LeCraic taking the almighty mickey out of my Tweeting fetish, fair play, great post all round!

Self Portrait Mirrored

So the Irish Blog Awards are almost here, I cant wait for tomorrow night. I met up with Damien today and he cant wait for them to be over, he has worked relentlessly for the past 3 years to organise a great event that has grown from 100 or so people the first year to 400 people this year, fair play man.

Also I am looking forward to Redmums photowalk tomorrow which takes place at 12pm at the spire on O Connell Street. Hopefully the weather will hold up.

Then Sunday myself and Fiona Mc Phillips are been interviewed on RTE Radio 1 for a programme called “This Week“. We will be talking about blogging in general and also about the awards themselves. I am thrilled to have been asked because I feel the Photo side of blogging never really gets talked about in any media like TV, Radio or newspapers, probably because we write feck all normally and allow the pictures to do the talking, not much news in that. The only bad thing is I am been picked up at 10.15am by taxi to get to Donnybrook so I will have to take it handy tomorrow night with the gargle.

Anyhow I decided its ages since I posted a self portrait and I have seen many folk use the mirror effect well so I decided to give it a shot, it is also a great record for myself of my changes with age, style and glasses.

Big brother is watching me

Well I was on the bus sitting where I normally sit, upstairs at the front and I was looking at the mirror which is used for the bus driver to view the goings on upstairs and I thought it would make an apt picture since big brother starts again tonight.

So begins another 13 weeks or so of reality tv, but I am sure I will be watching anyhow.

I need a shave

McAWilliams — Tue, 15 May 2007 21:42:04 +0000

I was trying out some more photographs with the flash tonight and they were all crap, so I aimed the camera at myself since I ain’t had a self portrait for a while and on bringing it to the computer I decided to make this post very short, cause I need a shave badly.

Old habits

McAWilliams — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 22:37:15 +0000

Well I did not take this picture but it was my camera that took it, and it shows that other new years resolution been failed, yes I still smoke and have that noose around my neck.

What a mouth

McAWilliams — Mon, 25 Jul 2005 20:17:30 +0000

Yes its me, I had no other ideas for photos today so here is my mouth.
