Photography Challenge - Day One - Self Portrait

I had intended to practice for a few days prior to actually beginning the 30 Day Photography Challenge, something I recently came across on another blog.  I tossed that idea out the window after my 20-minute, hectic, and messy attempt at working with a soft-serve ice cream cone on a hot day at the zoo.  There was too much involved in this trial to skip using one of the products.  With that being said, Day One is complete.
