Half Face Outdoors

Half a face, outdoors – just a simple self-portrait taken on a nice bright and sunny March day.  I’m not happy that I must wear glasses when I read and work on the computer these days, but I have to say, I do like the way I look with them on.  Not quite a fair trade – good eyesight for somewhat better looks (debatable) – but it’s what I got, so I’ll take it.

The image has very simple processing.  I cropped to the 2:1 ratio.  Then ran the photo through Nik Silver Effects (now free!!) for black and white and Topaz Impression for the charcoal look.

Day 178 of my 365 photo a day project.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
