Self-irony

"Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom"
~Anatole France~
I have the impression that
taste for self-irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor,
for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself
and to never take oneself too seriously.
A way to start my favourite month.

This photo is part of a gallery where I post my self-portraits.

Marisa, I love the wosdom of your words here and I can relate to them very well. I don't have enough hair to be able to pull off the kind of look you have going on here, but that look and your subject made me look.
Cheers, John

Wonderful selfportrait, and your text is so true. You look rather mischievous!

Looks to me like there is a hint of mischief afoot! ;-)
Superb cropping and moment of capture.
A very high impact image with that wild blonde hair and those arresting eyes.
A fantastic image.
Best wishes Rob

You look like you have a secret that makes you smile inside.

I would like to comment, but with these "feline" eyes looking at me this way, I do not know what to say (smile)!
Well... never mind... but it is a very interesting sp, no doubt!!!
Roe..04-Sep-2005 20:07
sooo true..nice to see you..your eyes and smile brighten up the screen..

A great SP Marisa, because it is all about you. That self-satisfaction at not taking yourself seriously. The joke is on you as much as it is on us, and that is what is great about it.
Guest 04-Sep-2005 06:28
Very nice SP Marisa, I love the colour of your eyes and I agree on the irony explaination of yours

Exraordinary. Great DoF and lighting. September is also my favorite month. Cool and sunny in my part of the world.

You look very mischevious. Being able to laugh at yourself is a wonderful quality. Don't ever lose it.
Steven Jusczyk02-Sep-2005 06:05
Who did you play the trick on? It couldn't be yourself?
Guest 02-Sep-2005 01:56
You look as if you just got away with something - nice SP Marisa -
Sharon Rogers01-Sep-2005 20:20
hehe what a look!
Monte Stevens01-Sep-2005 16:23
I like the facial expression and the color of the eyes. A very attractive young lady as well.

It makes you wonder
as you see your footprints in the sand
washed away.

Another departure from the norm in SP's for you Marisa, I applaud you.
Guest 01-Sep-2005 15:27
haha! Yes like the line on humor...
To laugh at others is a sign of poverty...one always needs someone elses foolishness and mistakes to laugh about ...
to laugh at one's own absurdities and idiosyncrancies is the mark of a rich and truly educated person
But to laugh without any 'reason' just for the pleasure of laughing, is the sign of true richness-a real emperor and wise person--Joy that bubbles from the beyond..Zen Master Osho

What we see and hate in others is what is our own hidden part as the unconscious mind recognises it in ourselves... for we can only explain, recognise and know of what we have tasted... Hermann Hesse
