Out from the shadows
Posted by Krisu (Tampere, Finland) on 29 October 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
I'm also participating in the self portrait 'challenge' should I call it. So, this is me today. Can't believe I'm really doing this... Hi to you all in AM3!
(had some photo here already, but that can always send back later. )
More links to people's portraits you may find in dj.tigersprout's blog. He's the one who started this self portrait 'mania'. ;)

@Ron: thank you. To me I look like a shy rabbit who wants to run away as fast as she can, haha!

Hi there Krisu, well done for doing this challenge! Very nice to meet you, you have a face full of sensitivity and very expressive eyes! This has been a wonderful way to stop the wondering about what people are really like! As you will have seen the aminus family is pretty interesting and diverse but so worth knowing.

@Maxine: Thanks. Oh yes, we are all worth knowing here in aminus3. AND as shown today, we all look pretty much like normal people! :D Seriously: I don't comment very often, but it's only because I don't know so many different words in English to describe photographic things and I hardly understand the terms in Finnish. I bore even myself when I say 'nice' to somebodys brilliant photo.

Heippa Krisu, en tiennyt etta sinulla on tallainen kuvablogi (Marin kautta loysin tieni, hanen lemppariblogilistaltaan). Taalla on paljon sellaista mita en ole Melukylan puolella mielestani nahnyt. Jaan siis tarkkailemaan tatakin. Aivan upeita kuvia!
Ajattelin niin monesta upeasta kuvastasi, tahan portraittiin laittaa tallaisen tervehdys viestin. Sopi jotenkin tahan kuvaan hyvin - kuten edella olevat jo sanovat, tuntuu kuin blogituttavuudessa etenisi tallaisen kuvan jalkeen. Hauska nahda nimimerkin takaa oikea naama :)
Eli virtuaalinen kaden huiskutus taalta!! Jaan seurailemaan!

@M'man: Ilahdun aina, kun joku omankielinen tänne eksyy. Tämä on omassa blogissaani sivupalkissa, mutta vähän sitä kautta ketään tulee.
Kiitos, kiitos, täällä onkin muutakin kuvamateriaalia, mutta osin myös samaa.
