    cool shot, and you have greeat eyelashes. being able to see only a small bit of your face enhances the little details.

    Wow, I love the extreme contrast of this!

    I have to say, for someone with a good handle on the macabre, you seem fairly optimistic!

    Right on!

    Very feminine. I would have thought it was a woman if it didn't say "self-portrait" which is truly interesting since your usual avatar is such a different side. Great piece.

    Looks very 'film noir', sexy and mysterious.

    I've always been a fan of shadows and hiding. Love it!

    Is that a skyline projected on your face? How in the world did you ever conceive of and execute this?! I am amazed.

    great shadow-light aspect
    did bertolucci and his "the dreamers" inspired you? Mot sure If I see the movie in the picture, but the idea of loving movies and powerful images that the characters have...

    wow!

  49. -Antoine- (90 months ago | reply)

    Such an interesting self-portrait Derrick... Revealing and concealing at the same time. Such is life....what we want to show, what we want to hide. We could interpret so much out of this.

    And thanks for the wish! I just thought I was gonna have a day of pure hatred for the world for the heck of it, but hey you changed my mind! :))
