16Jan11Emf.jpg

A stroll into Blackheath along Wentworth St, takes one past a storage facility whose office sits
out front, The glass doors and windows are unprotected by any curtains but there IS one of those
semi-translucent contact tints over everything. I spied myself in the door, all greyed off and
distorted by reflections and half formed shapes from the building's interior. Why not take a picture?
I have embellished it a bit with some noise, a tiny amount of sepia, a little tear brush effect
around the edges and voila ..... I AM a handsome devil aren't I?

Handsome, to be sure. A great vintage treatment, an elegant stance, an eloquent SP. VVV

Very original self-portrait and the post-processing really adds to the atmosphere you've created. Looking great, my friend!
