self-expression

For the Adobe Imagination Challenge.

A very vague theme, self expression. Everyone's gonna interpret it differently.

I think for the accompanying statement to this picture I wrote that while I like to surround myself with beauty (even though I don't take pains to make myself pretty), I'm more about trying to capture the best thing about an object or person--not beautifying it. I like to admire the beauty in the world around me, but I also like the simple things. I like honesty.

I was due for another self portrait anyway. The last time I did one was fall 2009. Yikes. I really should do another one, realism this time, but still in Photoshop.
