some silly fun












Beth, over here, has challenged her readers today do a self portrait post. Funny, I am always posting shots of myself...after all the name of my blog is 'What's Deb Doing?" This blog started 3 years and 511 posts ago. I had just moved back to the States from Mexico, bought a Bed & Breakfast all by myself and wanted to start an online diary. Afterall, that is what a blog is, short for Web Log. Then Matt and I joined our lives and he has a very talented eye for photographs, so he began to shoot me, in a loving way of course!!  The self portraits all started when I joined Misty Mawns Wednesday Self Portrait Challenge last year. It was weird at first, then got real fun, and sparked my creative instinct to capture a feeling in a photograph. I found myself writing less, and allowing the photos to tell my story. Recently my friend Jason told me I should write more, as it seems like I struck an emotional cord in him with my words one day as I typed about my son's deployment. I usually just post what I am feeling, thinking, and experiencing without a whole lot of analysis and then I enjoy going back thru old posts, reliving so many special moments in my life, and feel grateful for this worldwide web that keep me in touch with far-away family and friends, and then the best part is how I am continually meeting new friends...like Beth, Misty, Freedom, Kim, Brenda, Hashi, Meri, Michelle, Rebecca...OK..I could go on and on like Romper Room, but I will stop right here...So...today I am posting some shots from others point of view...I guess I get kinda silly when someone grabs my camera!! Thanks Beth for a fun project today!.You are damned adorable!

Beth is adorable, without a doubt. But you're adorable, quirky, fun with a capital F, and just too damn far away.
