“Self Portrait”

Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Mary Lou. I have been interested in photography for a number of years but more so in the past 6 or 7 years. My friends would tell you that whenever I’m at home I’m always on my computer either working on my photographs or doing something photography related. As you can see in my “self portrait” I really am on my computer!!

I would appreciate any comments on how to better my images.

Oh…and do you know what this is?
