What Their Eyes See
Don't I look devious...I mean, STUDIOUS? I'm leaving school.

What Their Eyes See
It's the weekend! Time to go out and play!
This shot doesn't show the brown cropped leggings or the wooden bracelet, but they are there.
Ciao!

Me, My Locs, and My Photo Magazine
Sometimes you need to put down the photo magazines, stop obsessing over other people's awards and recognition, and make your own damn photos.
Self-Portrait
5 March 2010
For this photo I used available light, that being the two 100W equivalent, full-spectrum CFLs in my uncovered ceiling light fixture. (My flash has 'tude. I shall perform an attitude adjustment on it this weekend.) With my 50mm/f1.8 lens and ISO 400, I was able to hand-hold the camera...rather, hand-hold the tripod I used to get more distance between myself and the lens. My right hand operated the cable release. The only editing I did in Lightroom 2.0 was spot removal, mild softening, and slight color adjustment.

Self-Love
"I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don't like myself, there's no reason to even live the life. I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that."

scream4noreason demanded recent self-portraits from the people on his reading list. I finally got around to it, today.

My face looks a LOT like my mother's around the eyes.
I made that portrait just before leaving for school, where I made solid headway on my exam preparations. It's been a productive day, in spite of the heat and humidity.

Forty Doesn't Look Bad At All!
This is my first self-portrait since my birthday. I used my seamless background and really like the results. What's even better is the amount of natural light in the living room makes additional lighting unnecessary.
ETA: Thank you for the compliments!
