p.1 #1 · Unoffical Self Portrait Thread *edit

Thought this would be a cool idea. The people's forum has one of these but we're much cooler then they are. Theirs went something like 17 pages. Those of you who DO own a studio have NO excuse not to have a portrait up. Lets see em folks.

The rules:

1. Give us your first name. (nickname, middle name or FM name is fine as well)

2. List where about in the world you're from.

3. Something interesting about you that has NOTHING to do with photography. (other talent, instrument you play, favorite music genre, specific bread of dog or cat you own etc.)

4. Post a self portrait. ANY portrait. Old or new. Picture doesn't have to have been taken by you nor does it have to be studio shot.

Yay FM!!

Here are 2 photos of me....one from earlier in my career (maybe 1980) and one from a couple of years ago. My hair color has changed. Trying to make money as a photographer will do that to you.

Both of these photos were taken in Indiana, USA where I have lived on and off for a good part of my life.

I like craft brewed beer and American mechanical pocket watches.

I am Bryant Swanstrom and while I grew up in Houston, TX... I am now living in Santa Barbara, CA attending Brooks Institute... I shoot weddings and assist when I can. I played drums in a decently successful christian rock band before I moved to Santa Barbara. Now I just jam out on Guitar Hero with my roland electronic drum set... I also like to think I can race motorcycles, pavement seems to disagree with me on that.

If you look at this from about a 30 degree angle from the right of your screen, it will look like those 3-D sidewalk chalk drawings. Might have to close one eye. 30 degrees is kind of extreme for images on a monitor.

Okay... I'll do Jeff and me together.

Names: p150 (Jeff) & unblinkable (Melanie)

Location: Jeff is originally from Arkansas and I'm originally from Mississippi. But we moved to Eastern North Carolina in 2001 and don't really foresee ever leaving. I'm happy here.

Interesting Facts: Jeff and I were both music majors in college. He can play just about any instrument you put in front of him, but is incredibly proficient in percussion and guitar. I sing and can carry a 4 beat on a drum kit.

Pictures: One regular and one silly. Both in-studio but not perfected or we'd have killed each other in the process.

Our three kids (cause I'm a proud Mama)

Wow, you all are way too good looking.

In terms of cool factor though, I think that Gary Harfield clearly wins. Dude is fighting fire AND photographing...? That's Hot (yes, pun intended here)

I'll play too...

1. Sahid Limon
2. Lived in the US most of my life, was born in another country. I'll give you a dollar if you could guess it correctly (haven't met anyone who got it right the first time

3. I play the guitar, play tennis, love to cook, like working out, hate running, not a fan of waking up early in the morning, sing in the shower very loud, and I'm very good in most video games. I am also an outdoors freak. Camping, biking, rafting, rock climbing started out as a hobby for me, but now is officially an addiction. Oh, and I dropped out of med school to do photography full time... which I don't regret one bit.
4. I'm 26, but I look way younger in my pictures. Didn't have any good self portraits, so here's a few that were just laying around.
