Right! Time to go hunt down my prop. He lives miles away though, so could take some time.

I don't like having my picture taken so this months competition will put me out of my comfort zone. Here's my first effort from today. Hopefully things will improve!!!!!!
I prefocused on my pillow and used shutter release cable to take the shot.

Great stuff already. Simon have you ever looked at Sam Taylor Wood's work David Beckham sleeping - your portrait reminded me of that. Really interesting.

For those who are shy being in front of the lens a self portrait does not just have to be a photograph of yourself. It could be an interpretation of how you see yourself. Think outside the norm if you want!

This is not a challenge entry.
