Looking Forward.

I have GREAT news today! I have the opportunity to work with a local photographer in my area. Her name is Betsy Finn and she has a great collection of photos, primarily portraits. I am sure that you can google that name and see some of her work if you are interested.

I guess this is one of the first times I have ever posted a picture of myself on the internet. Especially one in which you can see my face so clearly. I really don't like doing self-portraits so enjoy this one while you can =P

Can I ask how people (with manual focus cameras) take pictures of themselves that are actually in focus?

Oh, and criticism is, as always, welcome!
