Uggh / Yay! – Self-Portrait and Contest All In One!

December 3, 2008

Self-Portrait

Click for a larger version (if you dare…)

In the spirit of Stevo (a new holiday not yet on the calendars) I did something I don’t normally do, allowed myself to be photographed by myself. As you can see above, there’s a very good reason for my aversion to this, I usually end up making myself look like the serial killer in the latest slasher flick. But hey, it’s the holiday season, my birthday is coming up and I figured what better way to have some fun and celebrate than by giving away an 11″x14″ photo print of the winner’s choice from any of my galleries except Limited Editions.

Enter as often as you like. The winner will be selected at random from all correct entries on December 14th, 2008.

So what do you have to do to win you may ask?

It’s simple, just tell me where I was when I made the image. Here are the clues.

Clue Number One: I was South of Here.

Clue Number Two: I was North of Here.

Clue Number Three: The Name of My Location Can Be Spelled Using The Letters In The Title of This Post.

Clue Number Four: Oprah. Yes, Oprah.

Clue Number Five: Obama. Yes, Obama.

Clue Number Six: Robin Leach.

Clue Number Seven: My Name Has Six Letters. Three of the Letters Are The Same Vowel.

Clue Number Eight: James Bond’s Preferred Card Game.

When you have the correct answer, just enter it in the form here.

**UPDATES**

Don’t ignore Clue Three.

To clarify: Where I was = The name of the place and name of town. The state is California.

I know you were expecting me to ask for a caption for the image. I’m not that much of a masochist but feel free to do that after you’ve entered.

Good Luck!

Oh lord… you’re going to make me think. Could be dangerous. ;)

I like it (your self-portrait). Something about it very much reminds me of Stevo. Perhaps it’s the serious look on your face. (When I have that look on my face in self-portraits, it is usually a result of me trying to figure out if the camera took the picture or not.)

Ron: You look like a serial killer that ate a bad clam. That said, you’re still a handsome devil. Since I was the inspiration for this do I get a free print?

Nah, you don’t look like a serial killer. No way. Trust me, I know some! This contest is too hard. Bwahhh! I did send my uneducated guess but it’s a guess.

Fun contest, though!

Ok, I’ll bite. I’ll give it another try. The last guess was just that… a pure guess. I’ll work a little harder this time.

Robin: Thanks. A mind is a terrible thing to waste… :)

Stevo: I had crab that day… ;)

Bo: Ummm, thanks? Never been called a cuss before but then again I haven’t spent much time in Wisconsin. Somebody has to do Geography, they barely do it in schools anymore… :)
