Well there are some handsome ladies & gents that frequent this board!
I'm no oil painting but i decided to post a self portrait i took when i got my very first camera about 7 or 8 months ago or so. It was a terribly cheap 3mp kodak digital camera about the size of a small continent! The images were really soft and looked almost airbrushed(luckily for me!)
I then progressed to compact casio 6mp, wasn't too happy with the quality of this and then decided to sell it and buy a canon t90 and stick with film. I've been much happier with the quality of results. I haven't looked back and have been loving every moment of getting out taking pics!
The first pic is a straight pic of me in the dark, i was away with friends in a caravan in wales and i decided to try a self portrait!

I also had an attempt at a pop art version! It was my first attempt at messing with the thresholds to get rid of the details and leave behind strong lines that could be filled! It's a pretty basic effort but i have since made much stronger ones of friends and family.

Hope you like my ugly mug
All the best
