She's Just Not Right

Focusing on an image that reflects me as a person and as an artist for this week brought this to mind from my past B&W shots.. It was for a selfie contest and illustrates my desire to create a reaction and to shoot the unexpected. Using some of the skills I have since learned I cleaned it up a bit, lightened it and increased the contrast. I was very happy with the original image at the time because I held the camera at the correct angle to get the shot, keeping it out of the reflection and still got me staring into the camera. No tripod. The only editing I did was possibly a crop and turning it to B&W

excellent on all counts

Scary!

[Maggiemae]

Oh, goodness! I hope anyone didn't come to the door! This is a wicked knife and must be nice and clean for your reflection!

[Dyan Stevens]

It's like a still from a horror movie. I'd jump!

[PasadenaRose]

Uh, Katy...about that photo date we had planned. Well...um...something has come up. Yeah, I'm really sorry, but I can't make it.

Reschedule? Uh, I'll be busy that day also. Pretty much any day you come up with, I'll be busy. Busy Busy Busy. Yep, that's me. Busy as a bee.

If anything on my calendar opens up, I'll be sure to let you know.
Ok then, you take care.
Yeah, take REAL good care.

(Whew! That was close! )
