Several months ago, I put together a post where I showed some of the outtakes from my daily photo project. I’m ready to do it again, but this time with a theme.
I end up rejecting about 80% of the photos I take of myself due to unwanted facial expressions, what I’m calling “bitchface” and “goofyface”. One would think that after nearly 18 months of self-portraits, I would be better at controlling this. I am not.
I have learned this much. Two things that make me look angry are the sun, and concentration. Goofyface happens when I start getting bored with a photoshoot.

I love the first one and your “WTF” look!
I just realized that I had the comments set to moderator approval…then I never bothered to check the queue! Comments for the last couple of posts are available now. Silly me.
Ha, I love seeing all these photos!
oh dear, this cracked me all up!
OMG!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Tippy’s bitchface!! It is great! Awesome theme BTW…I like the out takes better then the published photos!!!
BTW…finish the book yet?
What a brilliant idea! So great of you to share! And I love that a dog can have a bitchface too!
That was awesome!
Love the Tippy bitchface. My wiener dog Lucy pulls off a pretty good bitchface, too — and, when denied the squeaky toy she wants to gut, quite a bitch attitude, as well.
Your pictures really made me laugh!
COOL! I like these actually. Someone else mentioned a WTF face…that would be the name you’d call the “I don’t know what to call this face” face.
This post absolutely made me crack up! Thanks for my Monday entertainment 🙂
ha! tippy’s bitchface is awesome. and comes in as a close second to cali’s bitchface. she hates me a little for bringing in cody and marti, and allowing bocephus to live in her house. she tolerates all this as long as i pet her a lot with the grooming glove.
This is so funny – I never thought to keep all of my outtake photos of my mug, but then again, mine are not nearly as interesting as yours. 😛
PS: Tippy has the best bitchface I’ve ever seen.
I just love your self-portraits! I have the same problem with bitchface in pictures. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and think, “Do I look like this to other people all day long?!”
I love the zombie face. I hope no one rang your doorbell while you were doing that shoot.
I thought I was the only one with bitchface. Every single picture of me has me looking either angry, constipated, or insane. That’s why most of my facebook pictures are either a)not of me, b)include my dog as a majority of the photo, or c)are a caricature drawn from a tolerable photo.
There should be a new facebook. bitchfacebook.
hahahaha tippy!
i think that unnamed face should be “bad cheese face”. also – not angry enough for a zombie had me spewing tea everywhere.
victory!
Ya girl she has one mean bitchface. I think Tippy has a great bitchface, so do you, rock on girl!
