I have the new smarty phone, and the webcam, but I am not able to take a decent self portrait .. I see many of you take great pics to mark your progress, and would love to do the same for myself. Please help me with technical and logistic advice - samples would be great!

Thanks muchly!

    First off, wait until a day you feel fantastic.

    Secondly, know your best side, if you're not sure then I guess you should just take a bunch of photos and pick out the best one.

    Thirdly, good lighting helps. Or just turn it into a black and white shot. Everyone, well almost everyone looks better in B&W.

    They always look much more dramatic, with a hint of artistic value. And it also helps blend in my uneven tan.

    the current pic I use was cropped and I removed 40 percent of the color. have a great pic editing app in my iphone. dont have it on me right now so i can"t remember what it's called, Will edit in later today.
