Embrace The Camera

One of my favorite bloggers posted today about the importance of capturing yourself in pictures you take of what's going on in your life:

For her it was about pictures with her daughter, but I think it's important for anyone. I don't have kids, but I do travel. I have few pictures of myself in the places I've visited. I wish I had more. One of my favorite pictures actually only has a hint of me - my toes - as I lay next to the gorgeous beaches of Cancun.

What can you do to embrace the camera the next time you're doing something fun? Self-portraits. Hold your hand out in a "thumbs-up" in the middle of the photo? Get creative, get cooky, see what comes of it. I think it's a fun project and one I'll try to remember to do myself throughout the rest of this year.
