My Guilty Pleasure | Marinda Fowler Photography | Seymour, Indiana

December 15, 2009

The very cool gals at Two Photogs are giving away a spot in their upcoming online mentoring program. To enter this contest, you have to take a self-portrait of yourself doing your favorite guilty pleasure.

One of my most favorite things to do is soak in a hot bubble bath for a long time while browsing magazines. So, that is what I wanted to take my self portrait of.  Couldn’t be too hard, right?  Bwahahah!

Self portraits aren’t easy to begin with.  When you lose your tripod and don’t own a remote shutter trigger, it makes that job even harder!  However, I really wanted to enter this contest.  So, I did what most photographers would consider crazy!  I wrapped the strap of my camera around the top of my step ladder and angled it downward.  Yep.  My camera was hanging over the edge of my bathtub by just it’s camera strap.  Yep.  I’m crazy!  However, I got exactly the image I had envisioned on the second try and couldn’t be happier! 

Here is My Guilty Pleasure self portrait…

While this might not seem like a “guilty” pleasure to most, it is to me.  Taking a long hot bubble bath is a sanctuary for me.  And allows me to escape Mommy duties for a while.  ;)
