DOS (2) - A Darker Side of Me by 


Created for the Happy Challenge

A collaboration with Stefan Sagmeister one of the world’s most creative and inspiring designers.
Rate yourself on a scale from 1-10 (1 being seriously depressed, 10 being the happiest) and then create self-portrait expressing that state.

Now don’t go getting all worried….today I am actually a 9 but I go through bouts of 2’s and this day was one of them :P

    love how your eyes are emphasised

  • Cool jillijude! I was trying to bring them out because they looked kind of emotionless which is how I was feeling. Thanks for the comment :)

    A rabbit in the glare of oncoming headlights-I feel like this too!

    Another nice portrait. You’re getting good at this! Great high contrast shot

  • With that beacon of a face of mine I was trying to show that there is light and happiness in me, but sometimes I am shrouded with darkness and sadness. Do you buy it? This is all too serious….especially with you hahaha! Thanks Kerry :)

    Ok….a 10 in my eyes…but i know what u mean. Stunning!!

  • This was a hard one Sanja. I am the one who is always pulling faces for the camera but thought it would be interesting to show the other side of me. I am either hot or cold…..a 2 or a 9 and not very often in between! Glad you get what I mean….and thanks for the 10 part ;)

    I know what u mean but this is very “fashion” striking and more like in the upper numbers!

  • I’m glad you know what I mean but with the edit I was trying to show how I struggle with the darnkenss and the light in my life sometimes so I went for the high contrast look. I am finding that it is really hard doing a sp showing your mood as a number! Thanks so much for the comment Julian :)
