Have you ever felt like a misfit? Like you didn't fit in? As far back as I can remember I've felt this way and I've never felt better about who I am today. It took a while to get where I am in my mind, but these things take time. Coming into your own. Embracing who and what you are. Nothing is perfect, perfection is flawed. Is there a point to fitting in? Comfort I suppose. Tonight I wanted to do something different, yet creative lighting. Plus I was editing other photos so I didn't have a ton of creative time. I didn't want my face all up in the frame. I like photos that take a different approach, a different perspective. Ones that the subject is never looking into the lens. I snapped my 10* grid into my Bee and turned away from the camera, looking over my shoulder. After a few shots, I thought to use a little fill with my sb900 with a green gel for attitude. And I like the results... Now go. Go make your own way and don't worry about the rules or what anyone thinks... Make someone uncomfortable.
