If you have a laptop with a webcam and a wireless mouse, it makes it a lot easier to take pics of yourself. Prop your computer up on a table or chair in front of a blank wall. Start your webcam program. Most all of them come with a snapshot button. Back up to where you're at a good shot in the screen and take the snapshots of front, back, side.. etc. Makes it a lot easier! Hope this helps someone! :)

    I have a digital camera with a very user-friendly timer. I just set the camera, set the timer, and smile. Works every time.

    That works too, but not everyone has a digital camera :) And it's easier to see your pose as you're doing it on the screen. You know everything is set up right.
