Project 52 // Week 7 :: Self-Portrait

Published February 17, 2010

I don’t usually take self portraits. In fact, I think this is probably my first ever aside from jumping tripod pics when I travel alone since I hate being on the other side of the camera. But I had this shot/lighting setup in my head all day and I had to try it when I got home.
