Lighting

[pecunium]

For reasons which are moderately apparent, I was asked to do some self-portraits last night.

The light was difficult. My skin tones, and the wood, are fine, but the shirt is actually a sightly blue-toned lavendar.

Just Looking


If you look in the background you can see my youngest sister peeking over my shoulder.

You are the first person to comment on the lack of mustache (which was the reason for the demand to have photos).

I need to get a current prescription for contacts (I was blind when I did this). Because my eyes aren't straight in my head, I need the larger lenses (the axis of my eyes is about 8° outwards from center).

Well, you may have noticed that I'm particularly attuned to details involving hair. Your facial structure is somewhat similar to a friend of mine who also recently returned to shaving after a foray into beardland. The facial hair made him look considerably older, mostly because his head hair is maybe 10% gray but his facial hair was more like 60% gray. Anyways, I think the finer "elfin" bone structure works better with no facial hair, but do what makes you and yours happy. :)

I can't grow a beard. The mustache comes and goes. I don't think I am going to be allowed to regrow it for awhile. I might make a stab at it for Dickens, but it takes about 3 months to grow in, and more time to really behave.

So, it's back to the easier shaving of the whole face.

I did a poor job... I need larger lensed glasses, because of the way my eyes point.

Small frames are always in my line of sight.
