I thought I'd jazz up my blog with a few photos. An easy task you would think except there is not one single photo of me that I am happy with. I am one of those people that don't photograph well at all. It doesn't matter whether they are candid shots or posed ones, I look bloody awful in them all. I know I'm not the most attractive person but I'd like to think I'm not a complete dog!
So having searched through all my albums, I came up empty. Of the hundreds of pictures I have there are very few featuring me anyway (I usually avoid cameras). I even appealed to friends and family on Facebook hoping they might be able to find something but no joy. My profile pictures is one of the few I have of me as a kid. This was taken mid 70's (that explains the dress). I was around 5 or 6 years old and I was singing "Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me" by Lena Zavaroni in a holiday camp competition!
The hunt has now taken me deep into the very depths of my loft. I have uncovered a box of old negatives. Where the prints have disappeared to, I have no idea. I am gradually working through the stash, uploading them via my transparency scanner in the hope some hidden gem emerges.
Maybe I am just kidding myself. Maybe a decent picture of me doesn't exist for a very good reason.
