For this prompt, I had to run as fast as I could from the camera to my photo spot to get a selfie. 10 seconds. I had to be careful not to trip on the tripod and the random cords on the floor and cross my hands that somehow, I will be in the frame when the camera clicks. I have to dig my years-old, coffee stained crochet project for this photo-op. I can pretend I am showing off my work instead of my selfie. 🙂
Happy weekend all. 🙂 I owe a lot of you a visit. I think I can do more of that this weekend since our family schedule does not seem to be as tight as in the previous weekends. 🙂

MY WALL 
This turned out good.
Thanks, Connie. 🙂 I did have several tries. This was the last one.
It’s a beautiful picture and you don’t even look out of breath… Diane
🙂 Thanks, Diane. Thankfully, a 3 meter run is still manageable for me. Any more than that, and I will be gasping. 🙂
One can see you aren’t intimidated by the phtographer! 🙂
oh, not at all. The photographer was quite patient with me. 🙂 ha ha
LOL! I’m out of breath just reading about how you manged to get into the frame on time! Great picture. You look like you’re having fun.
Thanks, Terrie. I opted for some drama, it did not go so well. 🙂 Seriously, I had several tries before I before I got a reasonably decent shot.
Divine!!!
Thanks, Nonoy. 🙂
You look absolutely happy with the situation – a really good shot!
Thanks, Leya. 🙂 It felt a little crazy posing for myself.
Love this photo of you.
Thanks, Colline. 🙂
I think your picture turned out great and am I to understand that the beautiful piece in your hand (I see no coffee stains from here) is something you made!?!
Thanks, Jessie. Yes, that is my table cloth project. I have been working on it for more than 6 years and I still need to do a fourth of the entire project. I only manage to get to it when we are on vacation (that is my excuse). 🙂
As for the coffee stain, it kind of disappeared when I turned the picture to B&W.
Lovely selfie, Imelda. That crochet project looks amazing. 🙂
Thanks, Sylvia. I got a very lovely pattern of peacocks and flowers. However, I made a lot of mistakes as I went along (one of which was inadvertently changing hook sizes).
hey Imelda, you should have added a few seconds more to your 10 🙂 but it came out amazing, candid and heartfelt! and i admire your patience with crocheting … you are a “wonder woman” indeed!
Next time, April, I will try a longer time. That will leave more room for maneuvering.
That crochet project was started when my second was a baby. I was looking for something to do while watching my two little boys then. But life caught up with me – I don’t get the chance to crochet anymore unless I am on our extended vacation. It’s been almost 7 years in the making.
Me encanta Imelda!!!!! Estás guapísima!!!! Y una sonrisa genial!!!
Gracias, Amaya. Tu eres muy amable! 🙂
Aww I love this one! Gives a very ‘home’ feel 🙂
Thanks, Grace. 🙂
I believe that most people that use cameras would rather be behind the camera instead of in front of it. It’s perfectly plausible to rather be a taker of photos than be the subject of photos.
I know I’m that way in all the photos that I have amassed over the years I’m in very few.
I agree with you. My pictures are mostly random things and pictures of family members. I realized that I am mostly unseen in family photographs and that we have no complete family photo. That convinced me recently to learn how to use the tripod and the timer. 🙂
It would be hard to do a full-face selfie – I like your idea of having another focus in the photo!
Fab idea, love it 🙂
Brilliant! Looks like a movie poster 🙂
