June 4th - Self Portrait/color

I thought seriously about making this a B/W, but I thought it was a cop out. I always like my SP's better as B/W, they feel more distanced from me, like I'm looking at someone else. Color just brings it too close to home. Yes, that's you. Yes, those are your wrinkles around your eyes. Yes, that double chin is still there, as are all those white hairs in your moustache...

So here is my dose of reality.

Wrinkles, chins and white hairs included!

judeMC wanted to see this in B/W, so here it is!

You look pretty serious here Todd! The wrinkles and grey aren't all THAT bad!
I think of the two I like the colour better!

Good, good. But it reminds me too much of the "Hey. Come to church" guy.
