I have two reasons for uploading this second portrait of Scott. First, it proves that I can take a more traditional portrait, as opposed to some of my more stylized work. And second, I get to bump my own mug off the front page. This photo was about 3 stops under-exposed, and corrected in Photoshop.
I promised to create another self-portrait, and here’s the best of the latest attempt. I’ve apparently developed a crooked smirk at some point in the last few years. I’ll admit that part of the timing of this photo is to provide a decent photo for my Onion Personals profile.
An old adage has it that, “the devil himself would make a good sailor, if he could only tie a bowline and look aloft.” I don’t know about the devil, but I’ve rarely had a chance to set foot on tall ships more the less venture into the rigging. But nonetheless here is a view “looking aloft” aboard the full-rig Cisne Branco.
The head truss of 100 East Pratt Sreet as seen through the rigging of the tall ship Cisne Branco. I like the juxtaposition of old technology with new, but oddly enough the modern building is 8 years older than the boat.
A mallard in the first moments of flight. I’m not terribly found the composition, but the motion of the wings seems to have created a mezmerizing blur. Maybe I’ll re-crop it later, and see if I like the image more…
