Penning Photography Daily

I hadn’t pulled a self portrait out of my hat today, when I had inspiration hit.

I was on the phone – Skype actually, with a headset on – with my brother Nick. I was playing computer help desk guy, giving him some detailed advice on getting a replacement computer. Nick & Mary Ann’s desktop died. I was going step by step through the configuration, he on his notebook, me on mine, screen by screen. We got it done in record time – for us.

In the middle of the conversation, I thought about the self portrait, and asked my bride Karen to please to the honors.

I like this wide-angle view. My big sock covered feet leading the eye up to my headset covered noggin.

I have a Thinkpad sitting on a Lapinator heat dissipation pad – gotta protect me from both the heat and any potential exploding batteries (so far Thinkpad has avoided that problem).

Just me, being the tech-geek that I am.
