Self portraits allow you to tell the world something about yourself. Because you are the artist you have complete control over what is being conveyed in the image. Through the introductions of new technology such as the front camera on cell phones, it is easier than every to create a self portrait of yourself. Seen here is my roommate Marianne. Apparently September 19th is Pirate Day and she sent out a snapchat celebrating that fact. With the use of the paint capabilities within the snapchat application, she could add props that she normally would not have had access to. Through the combination of these factors, this self portrait gives us a view of who she is. It's safe to assume that she is somewhat silly, and not afraid to present herself in a somewhat goofy manner. The combination of the text and doodles tell us she appreciates pirates as well.
