Both Mel at I Speak Melsh and Amy at Over At Our Place have recently discussed the rarity of actually appearing in a photo. (Shimelle's challenge about articulating why we scrapbook seems to have given us all food for thought.) This seems to be a common theme with scrappers ~ we're too busy taking the shots to remember to appear in them. With that in mind, I had a trawl around my photo collection and the above is what I came up with.You have from top left: Royal Ascot finery, June 2002; Falkland Islands, 1987; ServisAir at Manchester Airport, summer 1996; 35th birthday in Rome, 2003; newly pregnant, 2006. Second row, right hand side: Monaco, Boxing day, 2001; Christmas Day, 2004. Bottom row from left: Germany, 1989; newly married, 2005; Teddington Lock, August 2002, Scrapagogo Retreat, June 2008 (photo taken by Shimelle) ... a photo that is 18 months old is the most recent one of me? Point made.
The text on the photo reads ... a photograph gives us the naked truth, which has to be clothed by the imagination.

That collage is begging to be scrapped as well. Great idea.
Great idea for scrap booking and I love the pics they are so perfect!
Good for you :-) But yes, I find the same - pics of me are few and far between! I am trying, but whether I'll be brave enough to post them on my blog is another matter....
Ooh, you're piling the pressure on! I'm not sure I could find this many photos of me but I'm getting closer to actually looking. Nice to see you!
Great post, Ruth. It's fun to see you in all those pictures. :o) And I love the quote you used!
Blimey and I've known you all that time?! Gulp!
