I think of all of the self pics that you have posted this is the best.
It is interesting.
Bur it is very dark, in the thematic sense.
I don't really know you John, but are you really this dark?

Well I do believe that we all have our dark side, but I wouldn't say I am any darker than most. Do I often come off in a creepy, dark manner? I do admit it to be my intent at times, but it isn't a lifestyle by any means.

Maybe?
Maybe you are just a little darker than the rest of us.
It's all good though!
No Worries!

Not too bad Almo, it does feel as though the camera\film plane is not perpendicular to your face.

I like it though!

Almo,

This is very sinister and I like the way the darness around the eyes seems to flow into your pupils.

How did you get this lighting?

Gives me that creepy feeling you get watching a good horror movie.

I arived at this finished product only after the conversion to B&W. What you can't see is that I have my head cramed into a computer case with the camera perched at the top. The lighting is just from the onboard flash unit.
