Self Portraits

These were taken with a 35mm Canon AE-1. They are part of a six photo series, though it appears I only scanned in 4 of them (the scratches are from the scanner)

These are really nice! i always admire the old look film gives. Number 2 is defiantly your best and most creative, very original as well.

#2 is pretty awesome. Love the creativity. Love the look of the film.

I can't decide if I like the cartoon camera or coffee mug better.I enjoyed playing with the props though. My friend said number 2 reminded her of Dali for some reason, ha. thanks for the feedback!

You definitely need to do a series with your drawn props. They are great!
Like a set of images with just one drawn prop in real life settings, like, I want to see you getting on a drawn bicycle on the sidewalk, and then have it in a bike rack, with a drawn chain and lock, amongst other bikes. Run with it girl!

Walking down the street with a drawn shopping bag, or grocery bag. Maybe the bottom broke, and there are drawn apples and eggs on the ground. A shot of you paying the cashier with drawn money!

Third and fourth are excellent shots; Second one has an unnecessary slant and unhappy cut-at-edges. I think those are your own drawings; so i double my congratulations. You may show your drawings in the creative section meant for such works

Regards

Definitely love the bike idea! I just love how those items turned out. They popped more than I thought they would!

I think I was trying to eliminate all the furniture, but I couldn't really do that for most because I'd cut off some part of my body. There's a gallery that wants all six of these but I had to put them on nicer paper so I made sure not to crop it as much.

Speaking of...the man that owns the gallery want to put all six of these photos in the same matte/frame, each 5X6. He's providing the frame and matte for free. I've paid for most of my own chemical, and I've bought the paper, film, and I developed both the film and photos myself. He wants 30% if it sells. I have NOT IDEA how to price artwork. Can anyone give me a good estimate or some pricing guidelines??
