I love your photography, especially your self-portraits. What camera do you use?

You mention framing in one of your captions, how do you frame on a self-portrait? Just trial and error?

I have a Canon Digital Elph S110; I love this camera to death. It's tiny, sturdy, and has really good optics for a point-and-shoot.

As for framing, a lot of that is trial and error, and knowing the camera's quirks inside and out. At this point, I've been taking self-portraits long enough that I know if I'm holding the camera about *here* and the lens is pointing *this* way, I'm going to get about this framing.

One of my favorite elements of self-portraiture is the element of surprise. I love taking a picture of myself and then looking to see what it really looks like.

"Who's that girl?" I thought when I saw that. "It must be Kris." Your photos are making me think lately. You must be getting better. Watching you play the DDR game you were someone else again.
