I'm posting early in the day as we're heading of on a 4 1/2 hour drive to deliver my daughter to the Auckland Airport - today she flies to Chile for a 6 week school exchange.
You look guilty of something. (Not to mention, at first glance here I thought you had three hands which, in itself, was disturbing)

Stunning as ever. More so on black .... as ever!
September 10th, 2016  
Will she be showing your project to her hosts?
September 10th, 2016  
A very cool moody selfie. Excellent lighting. Good luck to your daughter. Sounds like quite an adventure she's going on.
September 10th, 2016  
Cool
September 10th, 2016  
Rather heathcliff-like, I think
September 10th, 2016  
wow, even more cool on black!!
September 10th, 2016  
Safe travels to her. Sounds like an amazing opportunity.

@pandorasecho After all the money it's costing us she'd better have a good time!
@irisn I'll have to have a look ;)
@northy Nobody would dare let me in their window...
@elizmafourie Thank you very much :)
@paul10 She's travelled a lot with us but this is the first time "solo" (with the exception of the other few students that are also going)...truth be told, I'm a little jealous!
@newbank I sincerely hope not!
@motherjane Thank you very much - I haven't looked at it on black...
@gardencat The things I could do with 3 hands...and, as I was subjected to a catholic upbringing I'm always guilty about something... ;)
September 10th, 2016  
Superb shot. What do you get in exchange? Fav and such
September 10th, 2016  
Very Hollywoodissh- have a safe trip!
September 10th, 2016  
@joemuli Thank you kindly :)
@kevin365 We had our turn last year when we hosted a Chilean student - my spawn/fruit of my loins is staying with that students family this year. I'm hoping for plenty of gifts when she gets back and no ideas above her station (they have a maid, we most certainly do not...unless you count me...)
September 10th, 2016  
Another great, dramatic capture! fav
September 10th, 2016  
@pasttheirprime Thank you very much :)
September 10th, 2016  
Great shot, she will no doubt miss your smiling face!!! Give me a wave as you drive past Te Kauwhata....
September 10th, 2016  
Another beautifully lit self portrait. Funny how @gardencat thought you had three hands. I actually counted your fingers as it looked like you had too many!
Hope your daughter enjoys her Chilean adventure
September 10th, 2016  
If I'm brutally honest I'm not such a fan of your style - however I know as soon as I see one that it has to be yours! Very glad you got to the TP :-)
September 10th, 2016  
This looks like a picture from a Shakespearean tragedy!
September 10th, 2016  
Mean and moody, I expect nothing less.
September 10th, 2016  
Looks fab on black. Hope your daughter has a great time
September 10th, 2016  
@northy Heathcliff was a rank amateur - nobody does moody like Graeme ;-))
September 10th, 2016  
Just 6 weeks? I hope that she enjoys the experience! Are you allowing her to take one if your cameras? I have seen some beautiful photos from Chile.
September 11th, 2016  
Fed up, or what? Parenting will do that... the light is great, by the way. Good luck to your daughter, on this life enhancing experience.
September 11th, 2016  
You look like a teacher who has almost given up with the student.
September 11th, 2016  
super lighting, fav
September 11th, 2016  
Hope you all have safe journeys. :)
September 11th, 2016  
@swillinbillyflynn We did - 8 1/2 of driving in all and the spawn is in the air with no issues. Yet. :)
@jesperani Thank you very much :)
@joysabin There have been occasions...
@rosiekerr It's an adventure for her - she's travelled before with us but this is the first "solo" excursion
@skipt07 Only 6 weeks but it's jam packed and they've even made time for her exams while she's there...and she shows no interest in photography sadly...
@vignouse Thank you kindly, good to see my true talent is recognised :))
@rachelwithey Thank you and I'm sure she will!
@pools82 That's just how I roll ;)
@maggiemae I'll take that as a compliment ;)
@cottiac You can be as honest as you like...I know I'm not for everyone (probably for very few to be honest), and thank you :)
@katrinanz She'll have a blast I'm sure...as for the extra fingers, well...I am from Taranaki ;)
@alinz We went past twice...you have lovely road works ;)
September 11th, 2016  
All you need now is a gloomy castle to haunt.
September 11th, 2016  
@golftragic I've been looking on ebay...
September 11th, 2016  
Excellent lighting.
September 12th, 2016  
fantastic image such terrific processing
September 12th, 2016  
good luck to her!
September 12th, 2016  
What a great opportunity for your daughter -- you look determined to make the best of seeing her off. Great lighting.
September 12th, 2016  
@taffy Thank you very much - she'll have a blast I'm sure
@izzyromilly And to us as well ;)
@carla42 Thank you very much :)
@888rachel Thank you very much :)
September 12th, 2016  
Gand shot...
September 12th, 2016  
@tonygig Thanks very much :)
September 12th, 2016  
@graemestevens Seem to be a lot of them here in Austria going begging.
September 12th, 2016  
Very cool shot, all that negative space is awesome... Good luck to the spawn :) she's lucky!
September 13th, 2016  
@kerosene She's very lucky - good flights, arrived safely, slept for 16 hours...like any normal teen
September 13th, 2016  
Fabulous photo, how fortunate for your daughter.
September 14th, 2016  
@bill_fe Yes indeed, we're slightly jealous
