i still remember the storm outside the hotel room window that morning... i'd just returned from Dubai and was playing with the new manfrotto tripod...

the camera was set to shoot in timer mode, light falling through the window and manual focusing, of course! i calculated the distance between the lens and where i sat and focused accordingly... it turned out better than i expected :)

funny how we change over the course of time... if you see the workshop, you will realize how different (and neat) i looked back in october of 2004... and today, i look more like a killer-for-hire...heheh...

the glasses.... well, those raybans were amazing... i lost them two days ago...

this is the original frame, no cropping at all, just added grain and enhanced the shadows etc...

i'm also attaching links to the first few self portraits that i did with the olympus camera last year :)

interestingly, in almost all my self portraits, you only get to see one half of my face :)

thanks for viewing :) let's see what you think of this one :)

Selective Colour

Couldn't help myself. I used Selective Colour on White Channel and adjusted the black layer to a negative percentage. This had the effect of whitening the gray areas. Slight adjustment of levels to give that extra white without over exposing the shirt.
