Self-portrait for 2008

It's been a very long time since the last time I was an active member on TrekLens. Most of my time I spent on TE and although that won't change, I would like to be more active on TL too in the new year.

So why not start at the very first day of 2008 with this little funny experiment, that I made for one hour ago.
This little sculpture can be found in our living room and is a work of Dutch sculptor Jan Snoeck.
Tonight I gave the sculpture my own glasses on his big nose for a little humorous touch.

I would like to wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2008 and I hope to see you as often as possible on TL.
Hope you like this photo!

Hello Lars!

Great resolution (^_^) . Welcome back and have fun back on TL. Charming and original auto-portrait ! I love the desk lamp in the background too. Obviously you are a man of great taste!

Superb mood , and light management!

All the best for 2008, Lars. Sure like it, the sculpture with glass is nice, but... it's the play of that blue light on almost everything in the shot that makes the photo for me.
Nice one... though I think you should have cloned out the one spot in the reflection on the table. But that's just my usual nit-picking self ;o)).

Hi Lars
Very funny work with great colours; very «arty».I like it.
Very good 2008 for you too, mb

A modern way to say hello to the new Year!
I enjoy the original way and it's a very clean setting you made! I enjoy the play of light that plexiglass lamp give... It fit well the statue who have utility for other kind of glasses :)
It's cool!
Happy New Year to You!

Hello Lars,
This is an interesting arrangement, and the colours are most eye-catching!
A well composed presentation of this origoinal still life...
Greetings,

Hoi Stadsgenoot,
Had deze plaat al een paar keer voorbij zien komen, nu toch maar eens beter bekeken, toch een top foto! Grappig en net blauw-witte licht maakt het een interessante opname.
Hans

NB: Happy New Year!

:) Later...

Hi Lars!
Very funny shot!You are a very good looking guy!
Cheers.
Cezar

Hi Lars.
You can see clearly now...... lalala.
Pracht stukje werk van gemaakt.
Ik zie dat je al een barstje hebt opgelopen en het ziet er ook nog eens verdacht 'blauw' uit.
Niet treuren, er zijn er meer dan kerken, hoor.
Dubble Dutch, zal ik maar zeggen.
Groeten van Jan

vreemd, apart en mooi tegelijk

Bonjour,
Un joli festival de couleurs. Bien vu.
Bonne journée.
clnaef

Definitely very cute and very smart :-) I like how it's composed.
