The Reject Pile

I’ve mentioned before that I’m working on a self-portrait photo project – a self portrait every single day for one year. Today I went back through the reject pile for some of the more ridiculous outtakes.

There is a common theme with many of these photos…don’t ask me how, but I manage to take a photo of myself before I’m ready. That, my friends, is a rare and stupid talent.

Reason: I don’t need to take a photo showing how annoyed I was during the photo shoot.

Reason: Not only was I not in this photo, but Abe took one of the zeros off the wall and ran off with it.

Good times.

  1. These are hilarious! I actually love the bored Ike and your annoyed face made me snicker. You should do more of these outtakes!

  2. It is a rare and stupid talent! Your outtakes are hilarious, I can just picture you fiddling with the camera in a few of those.

  3. OMG, these are AWESOOOOME! I love the firing squad one and the annoyed one above it. You look like you’re about to bitch someone out in Italian, LOL!

  4. I thought those outtakes were great. I checked on actual portrait of just your feet. Nice legs. Both of you!

  5. These are fantastic!! I’m so glad that you keep your outtakes. This post makes it SO worth storing them. Thanks for sharing them with us!

  6. These are great! I am so glad that you shared them with us. I look forward to checking your self portraits each day. 🙂

  7. Great photos! But I think I liked the last one the best… it’s your commentary that makes it so good.

    Thanks for sharing, some people would find that hard to do!

    Love you blog and photos (as always)
