Artist's Comments

I got a wild hair and decided to try something with self photography. I just wanted to try something, I've been wanting to do it for a long while now but just can't at the moment. So this is me, smoking a cigarette (I don't smoke, so I damn near died for this photo.), in my usual walking around look in my sister's backyard. I used a ladder to support my camera, set it to Sepia and a 10 second timer and got into a pose as fast as possible. I took several pictures, but this one I'm most satisfied with.

Thank you kindly, although I don't really know what I was going for... just going that's all I know. Looking at it again, it does look to be a bit of the Wild West in there. Funny what angles and a change of color can do to an area of the backyard.

So I’ll keep the rhyme if I feel in time, it gets me where I’m going.

I can't promise that I won't try another picture with me smoking. I like the look, I just can't stand the habit. It's odd. I even mentioned it in a story I wrote a while back, one of the many shittily titled stories I have. I need to go back and retitle them.

i really dont like this photo
:icondeadinside200:
Ok. What is it about this picture that you don't like? Anything specific or is it just the whole thing?

the background

i dont know where you going for something kinda professional looking?
:icondeadinside200:
I wasn't going for anything. I was just trying something. The only thing I had in mind was just a picture of me doing something and actually using my camera for once on something I wanted to do before but never did. I wasn't going for a pose or anything, just doing something and that something was smoking a cigarette even though I don't smoke.

I'm far from being a professional and I was using my sister's backyard, because it was much nicer then any other place I could use to set up something to hold up my camera. Is the background too busy for the picture with all the stuff on the wall and what's behind me? I guess you could say that since I was trying to kind of put the focus on me but the background could draw you eye away.

But like I said, I wasn't going for anything in particular other then to just try something instead of sitting on my hands.

yes, it would be a nice photo if you had a different background.
