Hello. 8th November and number 312 in the ongoing 365 image mega series.

Self portrait taken tonight at home. I had another idea in mind, title and all, but it didn’t work out. I hadn’t a clue what to call this piece. I thought to myself, “I don’t know” and the title was born.
Black and white conversion with levels and contrast adjustment added to a texture layer (a new one!), blended with hard light and partially erased at various opacities. PS7 used.

Canon EOS 20D / Canon USM 28mm-105mm lens.

I’ve been taking photographs since 1997 and I still love it. After a brief dislike of photomanipulation I now use Photoshop extensively on a majority of my work. People are my favourite subject and I’m always on the look out for new models, so drop me a line if you’re interested! :)
