I would have to say that the most fun I have with my camera is when I am doing self portraits. There is no one to offend. You know exactly how far you can push your subject (you). And you don’t mind experimenting on yourself. I also find that my most experimental works, especially in the portrait side of photography, is when I turn the camera on myself.
