A two photograph series of self-portraiture taken on July 4, 2009. The artist was actually trying to figure out where to point his new remote control at the camera. A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn,painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist. Although self-portraits have been made by artists since the earliest times, it is not until the early periods of the Renaissance in the mid 1400s that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work. Adding a hint of anonymity or mystery to the artist's image is also a common tradition in self-portraiture. Thanks for viewing!
