I don't know what possessed me to go outside this evening to take today's daily. It's just hot here and it's gonna get hotter soon.

 

I realized I hate talking self portraits because I have to figure out were the focus is gonna be an the whole process just takes too long, especially when it's burning out.

 

Taken ideas from what I did before in this photo here and in this photo here I knew that I would have to run the flashes bare and at near full power. With at least that much already planed out I saved myself from time from being burned up by the heat.

 

This is "Madeline's Van" according to my daughter. Of course she would like a pink S2000 like Sharpay Evans
