Ahh! Well. So much to say here. First time that I actually self-modeled something turned out decent. (:
I was pretty bored after school so I just painted flowers on my face with eyeshadow and lipstick and played with a glass flower. Because, you know, that's what all normal people do! *^^*
PS - Sooooo much better on BLACK.

Thanks. (:
I shoot myself while I wait for the rain to stop. In the hallway at Rakino's. I used to work as a bespoke tailor on the 4th floor of this building. That was over 20 years ago. I actually chatted to the guy who owned the business. He bought it about 5 years after I left. (Malcom) We chatted about what happened to this one and that one. Who was dead or alive. The other guy I was doing an apprenticeship with still works at Cambridge Clothing (David Williams). Two of the people that trained me are already dead. Life moves on.
Every now and then its good too shoot yourself. It kinda helps to get too know the guy behind the camera. It can be so frustrasting going to a photostream and never finding a shot of the person who is too blame for the good or bad work. So from time too time, so that I connect with you turkeys I'm going to do one of these. I suggest you do one of your self also. I want to see you.
The Camera is my new 30d and the lense is my new 16-35 zoom 1:2.8 L. The bag or sling I carry around has my kit in it.
52 weeks : Week 4
When I got home from work on Friday, I opened my car trunk and was trying to reach for something at the far end corner and I realized the trunk was huge and that’s how this idea was hatched. I was however quite afraid that I might lock myself in.
So the next morning I spent the morning bugging my mom to come keep an eye on the shoot and press the button for me! ;p
Anyways I got into the trunk through the seats as I was afraid the end part of the trunk was a bit too flimsy. So I crawled in much to the amusement of my mom and neighbour who were happily laughing at me. Sigh the things I do for art ;p

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
And though you've found
You need more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free
That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
All that's bullshit babe
You just want rid of me
You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

Day 61 of 365 31/05/09 The weather is amazing and it makes me think of Holidays, when I see planes in the sky I always wonder about their destination. Unfortunately for me my house is North facing so the sun never touches the front of the house, but at least it provides a cool haven after a day out in the hot May sunshine. a little less revealing than the last SP I took!
I had originally done this photo in Black and White, but it didnt really pop. So i took the editing a little further. I find this one more satisfying personally.

Paul's back for the weekend so after a lazy morning we headed in Manchester.
We planned to go for a photographic wander and then have food and go to the cinema. I really wanted to see "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which was showing at Printworks.
We parked up at my uni and walked into town. We walked through Salford, taking a few pics of the architecture, noting some fine examples, and sadly lots of derelict examples. We crossed the River Irwell from Salford into Manchester, stopping for a couple of pics on the bridge.
We came to near Granada Studios and I pointed out the Coronation St set. We walked up to the gates and saw we could see Dev's shop. I had visited the Corrie set way back in the early 90s as part of the Granda Studios tour.
We then headed through St John's Garden which had a very sad memorial to the people buried here. There used to be a church on the site and the people remained buried under the garden.
I remember that we could visit Manchester Central Library and take photos. It is being refurbished and will be closed for some time. The main reading room is circular with a glass ceiling and some interesting architectural features. Was slightly tricky to capture it all. I don't know what the plans are for the future but I hope the new design doesn't completely destroy the old. Would be a shame not to preserve some parts I think.
From the library we headed to the Arndale Centre and had a drink at McDonalds and a cake at Greggs.
After checking the cinema times we realised we had just missed one showing and would have to wait till 8ish for the next. We booked tickets to see the subtitled version and headed off to get somewhere to eat.
We hadn't realised that X Factor - The Live Show was in town and had just kicked out. Consequently all the eateries in the Northern Quarter were packed. We headed further into town and ended up at a Mediterranean place and I had a Moroccan lamb tagine (which was huge) and Paul had pork with calvados sauce and olive mash.
The film was great. Really recommend it and it was a good, sound adaptation of the book. Am glad we went for the subtitled version. The dubbed voices would've annoyed me. The film was graphic, as the book is. Paul enjoyed the film, even though he hadn't read the book. They told us that the next 2 films are going to follow in quick succession. I need to read the 3rd book - paperback out 1st April!

My day was good. Work was good. Getting a little tired now. I'm in the middle of an eight day stretch.
2024 self-portrait challenge 18 of 52
Key = on-axis, boomed overhead just out of frame and in front, about 1.5 ft. from subject: Flashpoint Zoom II speedlight in LumoPro 3-in-1 43” shoot-through umbrella with the black-silver cover on top to reduce spill.
fill = on-axis behind camera: Godox TT600 speedlight bounced on Manfrotto Halo Compact Difflector (soft silver), 3 stops below key.
2) Self Portraits. You can count my self portrait shots on one hand in my stream. Cinematic shot's don't exactly count in my book. The main focus is the scene not the specific person (as they can be anybody). Little bit of an exam beard going on there.
I'll also be adding a new lens to my setup come Saturday, Nikkor 35mm f/2. I seem to be collecting lenses under 50mm, which doesn't exactly solve my telephoto problem. This means that now I'm 4/4 for lenses under 50mm.
Should comment quick that both these flashes are fired about eye level, snoot on the flash to the far right perpendicular to my face, the other flash is in between those two and a special trick added to keep it off most of my face. Both flashes were caught in my eye.
Suppose to be viewed large on Black.
Nikon D40 - Lensbaby Composer f/8 - 1/800s - ISO 200 - Tripod, 2xSB-600@1/8 right level with lens, 1/16 power high right

"Vintage" is the theme for We're Here! and fiddling in Photoshop with filters while wearing my "vintage" Wonder Woman Crush cap was the only way you'd get to see my face this week.
I fiddled with layers. I played with effect filters. I used the burn tool. And the caption for this photo would be: "No one knew I looked so much like my grandmother, or that she was Wonder Woman..."
Yes, I know that's ridiculous, but I'm on Day Seven of a pain flareup, so that's what we're getting from me today!
