You can only be borred by yourself if you're locked in a box and even then, if you study the box around you, a lifetime is not enough to know all about it.
So look somewhere else. In the mean time, your SP's are anything else then borring. Nice details and expressivity in those shots, Gary
The lighting is excellent, Gary. Great self-portrait.

Hi Gary! Although I find this to be a really nice SP, I do KNow what you mean about getting "bored with yourself" I take way too many SP's as well. The main reason is I know I'll do what I want. If I feel like taking 200 shots, I'll not get mad at myself. Also I think it's easy to learn from taking SP's. If you can get the light/composition and mood right in a picture of YOURSELF (which you do!) then you will most definitely do well with OTHER human earthlings!! You can't help but learn, so never feel bad or let someone talk you out of it. It's a MUCH better picture than some snapshot of what you ate for dinner, or some other equally lame subject, just to get a photo for the day! Do you know what I mean?
You can SSDD as much as you want - as long as you don't lose that expressive face. Your self-portraits are always excellent
Um... I thought yoga was supposed to make one feel in tune with the universe, not as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders?
