About My Pictures

If you look at my pictures, you may be forgiven for thinking that I am just a two-dimensional pixelated image with no true substance. But I do exist. However I do try to present myself at my best. That means that I do omit quite a few pictures that don't flatter me. And I do tidy up my images in photoshop before I upload them, though I try to keep this to an absolute minimum. I don't want to be accused of cheating. Basically what you see is what the camera saw. Although sometimes I have been known to soften some shadows cast by my adam's apple, which I don't like doing, but... there you are... I've told you. And now that I'm getting on in years the shadows and wrinkles under my eyes are not very flattering, either. So I have been known to make small adjustments where my application of make-up, like concealers or light diffusers, have not quite done their job of making me less of a monster.

A lot of my pictures were taken with cameras using a timer, and generally a tripod. (When I'm in group situations, I can usually find someone else to take the pictures for me.) Sometimes I use a mirror to help with my posing, but it can be more of a hindrance than a help. One can lose a bit of spontaneity by trying too hard. Generally I do find I look lousy in bright day light. I'm better with a flash. The lines and wrinkles, yes we all have them, get washed out by the flash, and I end up looking a bit younger. But lines and wrinkles are not all bad news. They can add character to a face, so I know I shouldn't get too worried about them. The trouble is I'm so vain.

I also believe that beauty is more than skin deep. True beauty comes from within. It shines through whatever shell we have to cover our bodies. Sometimes a camera can capture that warmth. Anyway, I keep trying.

The pictures you see here are not of a normal middle aged man. I'm trying to portray the image of a young(?) attractive.... even sexy.... woman. Am I deluding both myself and the viewer? I don't know. I don't want to be profound. I just want to enjoy myself in a creative way. If you can appreciate this, then I am truly grateful. And if you you think I'm crazy, you're probably right.
