Self-Portrait with Aspiring Photographer at Church


This young man, Nicholas, seemed enchanted with my cameras. Nicholas talked me into using the camera's timer (something I had not done since I finished my photography class, and a reminder that if you don't use it, you lose it) and taking a picture of the two of us. Unfortunately, and because I was out of practice, I forgot to set it for indoor light, so it turned out a little orange and it is a little blurry. Photoshop helped a little, however.


I am drawn to certain faces and I remember Nicholas' face as one of the ones I photographed in those first two or three weeks of my attendance.

This photograph was taken when we were celebrating "Black History Month," and, more specifically, "Black History Sunday 2009."
