Place Your Head Here....

Posted by dYe (Cambridge, United States) on 26 March 2007 in People & Portraits.

Here's another self-portrait of sorts. Or rather, it's a failed self-portrait (I pressed the button before I meant to ), but I kind of liked the effect of increasing the contrast. It doesn't really look like me anymore (my hair is black for one), so imagine any face you want in there!

I like it! - it's very original and sort of painterly :)

hehe - teasing. Revealing and yet disguising (spelling?) at the same time. After talking to you once in a while, I was beginning to wonder how you'd look like.
Afterall this is a photoblog, so here's an opportunity for you to go further into the self-portrait business:-)

@Henrik: Sorry...didn't mean to be a tease :) I still don't have any good self-portraits, but when I manage one, then I'll post it.

you could have fooled me into thinking you processed this. Believe me many people spend hours trying to get the same effect. You've done a great job...maybe I'll superimpose my face on it...only kidding don't wanna ruin the picture!!

@Colour blind: Thanks you! I was lucky to be able to get it by accident then!

I do agree with Jen, it's mysterious! But I can imagine a very kind face in there! :-) The mind behind your lens proves it!

@Vahid: Thank you! You are very kind to say so!
