Double Dare
At the end of my post Conversation on Tuesday, I finished with:
The moral of the story is never dare me to do something!
Well you know what happened…..
Don’t dare you to do anything? Ooh, I should dare you to kiss me, but that isn’t a hard challenge.
I’ll like to dare you do a portrait. Sit and have someone take a portrait of you, and you do the same to someone else. I’m not talking about a snap, I’m talking about a portrait. A picture which shows an aspect of the sitter.
Accept?
Well how could I resist… back I came with the following comment:
Will - You are on! This idea might take off….. If enough people took up the idea (not all portraits of me, no way, but of others) Mulley might allow us to have them displayed at the Irish Blog Awards in March.
So where do we start?
Who in their right mind would want to have me as a subject of a portrait? ‘A picture which shows an aspect of the sitter’. I am curious to see how exactly someone else sees me. Really!
Do I use ‘my portrait taker’ as my subject or work on the ‘pay it forward’ idea and choose somebody else?
Is this one for the photo bloggers or Flickr group?
Come on readers, I DARE YOU! Have a go.

You are on. I am not capable of a portrait, but a caricature, yes. Game?

I am game! I always liked the idea of having a caricature done.

A caricature of me? I don’t think so. It’s depressing enough to see all those wrinkles and sagging jowls in a photo. There are way too many aging features on my mug that just beg for exaggeration and I can imagine the results.
Now if the artist was a kind soul and didn’t put in those same features I might sit for a portrait.

Darlene - caricatures are beginning to trickle in. They are all in good fun.
Magpie - Where should I start?

Alice,
They are coming slowly. With the streaming cold I have not gone out to look for a subject or had the chance to hold a camera steady long enough without sneezing. Give it time and I promise to show the results.
