Self portrait. Back out of my comfort zone. According to my daughter, I look smug. But I'm actually amused about having to use myself as a model!
"My art is an extension of myself, a third hand that serves my thoughts and dreams to the world. It is dark and I happily use the word creepy, yet it can also be whimsical and sad and surreal. These words do not define the process, simply the end result. What we are is more than what everyone sees when the process is complete."

So this a self-portrait. It was an extra credit assignment that gave me the motivation to do this shot. I have been thinking about doing something like this for a while, and today I finally had the off camera flash capability.

A little fun experimentation with self portraiture.
I think I nailed it, even avoiding making it obvious that I lack a shutter remote. Somehow I managed to venture to place and pose within 10 seconds.
