To make someone with a mug as bad as mine appear just decent enough to get in front of the camera:
1.High Contrast gets rid of all the imperfections of the skin, hair etc, by making tones etc appear much more ‘block’ like rather than varied (preferably convert photos to B&W this also helps with covering up the imperfections)
2. If your face is rather fat, or you generally have too much forehead/cheeks/nose going on try and pick some kind of accessory to take the attention away from the bad facial rations (in my case I picked the annoying ‘geek’ glasses that all the scene kids wear)
3. If after adding the accessory of choice, you still feel like your photo is screaming ‘OH HAI THERE FACE!’, try and find a reason to cover it up, this can be achieved by putting your hand in front of it, making any sort of hand signs, or using other props
4. If like in my case your hairdresser hates you, and he cut your fringe wayyyy too short, try and tilt your head forward a little bit, but at the same time, keep looking into the camera, this tends to reduce the old forehead size
5. Try different outfits, I have a bad case of the fat arm, therefore it’s always good to cover it up, also big boobs and high neck tops don’t really mix well, so it’s a good idea to wear something with a slightly lower cut
6. If you’re as unfortunate as me in the eye department (small droopy eyes) try and open them wider than normal when taking photos (this also slightly reduces the size of the forehead)
7. Smiling can be a tricky department, some people have mastered perfect fake smiles for photos, however if like me you look like a fat Chinese kid, that’s running out of breath when you smile, try and stay straight faced
you wouldn’t want to see me in real life
Another shot from the fantastic misty sunset the other night at The 7 Sisters. My partner Lisa kindly posed under them for Me.
It's been a while since I last did one of these.

This is much more typpical of what I have with me on a daily basis.
I was walking in downtown Montréal the other day when I saw Arsvuni on the other side of the street. His moustache readily called my attention: I had to stop and go talk to him. So I did. From the start he was very nice and friendly, quickly accepting to take part in my 100 Strangers project. He told me he is Armenian but has lived in Montréal for 43 years. He also mentioned he is married to a Chinese woman. As for the moustache, the last time he shaved it was when he was in the army, in his twenties.
Thank you for the photo and for the nice chat, Arsvuni!

Finally, the day of the leadership ballot for the federal Labour Party has arrived and with it came the now familiar TV news broadcasters along Oxford Street. Today's pictures feature the Channel 7 crew.
