My lovely friend Taralara over at Sticky Fingers runs The Photo Gallery. It’s a fab idea – there’s a theme each week, and loads of people join in, taking pictures and sharing them with each other. I dip in and out, but this one really caught my eye: me. Right now.
‘We’re terrible for ‘posing’ for photographs aren’t we?’, says Tara.
‘Making sure we look our best, have our hair brushed, our make up just so and turning just so to ensure the camera captures our best side.
But it’s the impromptu snaps which tell the best stories – they mark out our every day lives and show how we live and what we are ‘really’ like.’
So the challenge was to take a photo right that very second, as you read the prompt. So I grabbed a child and said ‘quick, take my picture’.
And here it is. Me. Right now. Slightly scary and rather too close-up, with my cluttered desk, my Minnie Mouse mug, messy hair and… a bottle of Febreze on the printer (not sure how that got there).
