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.

Im ugly and you know it, but you think that Im a poet So Ill keep the rhyme if I feel in time, it gets me where Im 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 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.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

no more smoking.
although, there is no sexier thing than dying for your art.
