Enthusiasm 101

Photo from series "In My Face"

Shot this with my cat Sherlock in my basement in front of what I THOUGHT was my green walls, but turns out is closer to blue. I made them a little bit bluer seeing as I liked the colour, and came out with this extremely exciting, energetic and enthusiastic self portrait.
