#phone photograph

[sineout]

So, this is the first self portrait I’ve uploaded in over a decade. It’s one of less than a dozen (probably less than half a dozen even) selfies I’ve taken in total over that time period.

I have an... let’s call it an aversion to taking and more importantly sharing photographs of myself. I wouldn’t call it a phobia though, as I don’t actively fear my image being taken or being shown, I just don’t like it. But either way, like a phobia, I know that my reasons for this aversion are, for the most part, irrational.

I don’t know really what I want this post to say, except to have a pretty normal and up to date selfie on my tumblr blog; so I guess there is that.

On a more technical note, I did at least enjoy the stuff between taking the photo and posting it here. I took this photo on my phone, as a DNG, so I had fun playing with RawTherapee and GIMP. Hopefully my executive dysfunction will let me take and post more photo’s.

Love your art so much. Will you show us cool nature pics from your country? I'm literally so stoned I forgot where you live sorry.

Sure anon, why not. I'm not a photographer so the quality of these is kind of slushy at best. I like nature and wander around a little bit, but I rarely hike properly, so I don't go to that many scenic places. These are mostly from regular walks. Long post warning.

Summers are short but very green, and since we're at the arctic circle we get sunlight around the clock. Some of these were taken at midnight or early morning small hours. Most of Finland is very sparsely populated and covered in boreal forests.

Finland is a very watery country, lots of lakes in particular.

Sometimes you get intense sunsets

And winters are very cold, snowy and last about six months. In summer we have midnight sun and in winter there's the polar night to counter it. Around late December sun only rises for about two hours per day where I live so it's very dark for many, many weeks on end (which is wonderful if you get seasonal depression like I do). But sometimes the weather and lighting are just right and you get this ethereal pastel effect that I love.
