Boy, what *nerve* it took to post that picture, Dallas!
Anatomy aside, here is a photo of my husband and I... however, it is not a
"self-portrait". I have failed miserably at getting a decent self portrait
so far, but am still trying.

Boy, you and your husband sure look young!
I'm curious about your first name, Charo. Is it a nick-name or a shortening?
The reason I ask is because in South Africa it's a colloquialism given to
the local Indian population! It's a sort of slang but the middle-class
Indians use it to describe themselves quite often. They have "Charro" for
themselves, "Wittous" (pronounced "Vittos") for us whiteys, "Colouredous"
for the coloureds, and "Peckyous" for Africans.
The suffix "ous" (just like saying the letter O in plural) is derived from
the Afrikaans "Ouens" for men, or fellows. The Charrous would refer to the
"charred" look of Indian skin (in other words they've been burned black by
the sun). "Wit" is Afrikaans for "white", hence we are "wittous". I haven't
a clue how they came to name African people "Peckyous".
Anyway, I'm sure you're more than fascinated by the above...so I'll shut up
now! :-)
Congrats on the job, BTW.

"Charro" and "Charo" are both slang words in certain parts of Mexico, from
what I understand. I believe "Charo" ( in northeastern regions of Mexico?)
is slang for "artist", while in other areas it is slang for those guys that
go door to door singing and playing maracas for money! Of course, "Charro"
in proper Spanish means "cowboy". I think.
"Charo" and "Charro" are also Spanish female first names.
In my case, it is a Spanish name that was given to me by my
Portuguese/Chinese/Hawaiian father, who *probably* heard of the guitarist
Charo (who is well known in the states, but probably nowhere else), and
thought it was a cool name. That's my theory anyway. My father died before
I could find out why he chose that name! Perhaps "Charo" is also a
Portuguese name?
If you lived in the US, you would know how much crap I catch for having the
same name as a very buxom, petite, fiery redheaded guitarist/singer whose
catch phrase is "Cootchie-cootchie-coo"!!

Don't listen to him, Charo. You look swell with those glasses, and that's
probably the way people know you.
However, a polariser may have reduced the reflection (the reflection is not
part of your personality, is it?)
Or a slightly different angle may have too.
John's picture is perfect proof that reflection in glasses can add to a
picture. In fact, if there was a bit more reflection in the right glass
(left in pic) we wouldn't see that John is looking at the camera. Which
costs him 0.01 point, leaving him with only 9.99 out of 10.

By the way, was the "mosque" photo, at the bottom center of your

Thanks. I really need to update that site. I did own a Contax G2 for a
couple years. I didn't have the 21mm f/2.8 but I was able to borrow one for
a few days. A very fine lens, equal in performance to the old f/4.5 but (of
course) faster. I eventually sold the G2 kit not because I was unhappy with
it but simply 'cuz I had too much stuff and something had to go. :-) I
currently have a pair of Contax SLRs and like 'em a lot (and once again have
too much stuff).

I used an old Leitz 35mm Summaron screwmount lens for that pic. It's
acquired a bit of haze over the years, which give pics shot with it an
interesting sharp/soft look. Not sure if I want to get it cleaned or not.

Speaking of websites and self-portraits - sometimes the realization
that you have one fame left spawns an idea best left undone. Anyway,
I had finished fishing for the day, had one frame left, propped the XA
on the tailgate of the truck and got this one:

Originally a colour print - it was scanned and I did the digital thing
with it. I dunno, reminds me of a poor imitation of Pancho Villa.

Somethings are better if they remain a mystery. ;-)
Could it be that a self-portrait involves taking a picture of yourself, and
that necessarily involves having a camera with you? And that it is much easier
when you see what the camera sees? Loosen up, John. I'm an accountant and I

Hmmm... growing a beard and going to Afghanistan sounds like a formula for
trouble. :)
The most difficult time is the first month. There is a point when the
stubble gets long enough to behave like a needle but not long enough to
behave like a hair. Most people bail right about then. If you survive that
stage it's all down hill from there.

Exactly. That's exactly it. After one to two weeks I'm ready to pull my hair out, by a month (my longest) I must shave. I feel
free as an eagle after that 1st shave. Someone told me olive oil helps both the itching and the beard's condition when it becomes
longer. Anyway, thanks to the both of you for entertaining my question. I must go toss my razors right now. :)
Wow! And I thought it was a simple case of insecurity.
Sorry, I have nothing to loosen! This is pretty well-know stuff for the
past 20 years. Why does such an innocent and oft repeated observation make
you so alarmed?
Most self portraits are not shot in mirrors.

Yep. Also, I hear that they have a new Mach 3 system that allows one to shave against the grain without having to be as careful and
without the blades dulling as quickly. I'm certain it will require us to buy another shaver handle thingamajig because every time
they introduce a new 'technology' I must purchase the matching shaver.
