Soon...

And still it rains, so I'm still stuck inside with not much inspiration...still, at least I can help you all sleep soundly at night.
I have no idea what inspired this shot, but it is oddly reminiscent of courting my lovely, understanding and tolerant wife.
Best viewed against the black (shock horror)
creep-tastic :)

@northy Thanks very much...
June 12th, 2014  
Brilliant.. Fav. Oh and did u draw on you're face or is that done in post?
June 12th, 2014  
The reflection is even scarier than your actual face! I sleep soundly no matter what.....probably just exhaustion...haha! I can't even imagine how this shot is reminiscent of courting your wife! LOL!
June 12th, 2014  
@longexposure thanks very much - I drew on my face, like some demented 3 year old having a really bad day at kindergarten!
@harbie thanks - I thought so too, as for the courting...not sure how I'm going to get out of this one ;)

@graemestevens @harbie Probably with something very expensive and shiney

@kimkyra Damn. Me and my eternally big mouth.
June 12th, 2014  
Courting, courting? How does a genteel, old-fashioned word like courting come out of the mouth of the manic monster we see here? Now that is creepy... (Oh, yes - nice one Graeme.)

I'm not sure I can/should share the very first thing that popped into my head! :/ I know there are children on this site and I don't know if any of them follow you! Suffices to say it involved expletives - not of the horrified variety, but rather the "wow...this is great" variety. How many more days of rain?
June 12th, 2014  
Your photos are unique!!! Great selfie.
June 12th, 2014  
@vignouse Despite appearances one is very well mannered and strives daily to remain so, despite everyone else's best attempts :) And thanks very much
@voiceprintz Thanks very much - I think it gets fine tomorrow, but who knows - I've never trusted a weather man before so why start now?
@lorenaavalos Thanks very much :)
June 12th, 2014  
Wow, this is intense. Love the tags. And nope, don't wanna mess with you!
June 12th, 2014  
@amandal Thanks very much...appreciated :)
June 12th, 2014  
Nice paint job! I bet you do wicked good Halloween face paint! Cool reflection too. I like all the black space!
June 12th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa Thanks very much - not sure what I'm going to do for Halloween yet...might even do something normal...
June 12th, 2014  
@graemestevens I did Gene Simmons face paint for my son last year. Now that there are 4 of us, we might do the whole Kiss band. I guess normal would be dressing up for you, right?
June 12th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa I have long forgotten what normal is - I might shock everyone and smile...
June 12th, 2014  
I look forward to your work everyday.i love it.I can never pull the darkside off without it seeming corny.you are the master of it!FAV
June 12th, 2014  
You stalked her?? ;-) Great shot!
June 12th, 2014  
Crackpot? Love it.
June 12th, 2014  
@mzzhope Wow - thank you so much :)
@cailts Of course - I couldn't have won her heart any other way ;) And thanks :)
@golftragic LOL, I toyed with calling it "Crack Head"...thanks very much
June 12th, 2014  
So good I love everything about this fav
June 12th, 2014  
@graemestevens Mmmm, I considered Crackhead, but decided that was rather too insulting in these days of rampant illicit drug use.
June 12th, 2014  
Courting or stalking your lovely wife???? cool selfie though creepy , glad it wasn't a colour image :-)
June 12th, 2014  
This is excellent. Cracking up.
June 12th, 2014  
That reflection is a killer, who knows about the photographer!
June 12th, 2014  
@pittcj17 Thank you very much ;)
@golftragic Yes...I. of all people, would hate to be seen being politically incorrect ;)
@hermann A bit of both actually - I considered colour but it really didn't work, thanks very much
@spanner Thanks very much - I think I might be too
@ceilidh Thanks very much - as for the photographer, it depends entirely on the day of the week
June 12th, 2014  
I can see why she was attracted to you.....
June 12th, 2014  
Pool quite spooky but well executed
June 12th, 2014  
Creepy, but good creepy if there is such a thing...
June 12th, 2014  
Great use of reflective surface really creepy!!
June 12th, 2014  
Great pov and the lighting is brilliant! Great shot! Side note - now I am waiting for a shot of something underneath those cracks!
June 12th, 2014  
Best on black indeed. Glad I view your stuff mostly in the bright sunshine of the mornings and not before I retire to bed....
June 12th, 2014  
Very spooky but is a fabulous imaginative image great reflection
June 12th, 2014  
@deliad Thousands can't...

@chippy1402 Thanks very much
@creativefool Thanks - that might be a bit more difficult...
@newbank Thanks very much...go on, have a look before bed ;)
@tracelee Thank you very much :)
June 12th, 2014  
@graemestevens Absolutely right - whatever variant you may, or may not, be referring to.
June 12th, 2014  
@golftragic I can neither confirm nor deny what I may or may not have meant
June 12th, 2014  
As creative as ever. We can always rely on you for something dark and spooky.
June 12th, 2014  
like Richard I was musing at the use of the word courting - and then about how it is reminiscent - unlike Amanda though I would tempt the messing - just to see what would happen hahahahaha
June 12th, 2014  
Fantastic image, very creative.
June 12th, 2014  
@dh thanks very much, it's just the way I roll ;)
@annied Pfft, I'm a big pussy cat really
@rustymonkey Thanks very much - and for the follow. I've looked at your shots and followed back, just amazing
June 12th, 2014  
@graemestevens yeh knew that - that's why I could act tough hahahahaha
June 12th, 2014  
Very creative and a bit creepy.
June 12th, 2014  
yes! excellent! love the freaky reflection!
June 12th, 2014  
Sam
Did you draw on your face with a texta that can be removed unless by bleach?
June 12th, 2014  
Excellent image
June 12th, 2014  
peekaboo! Did you manage to get your face clean after this? By the way, do you play in front of your kids? Do they see the flames and the smoke and the scribbles on daddy's face?! Just wondering what they would say to you....! :)
June 12th, 2014  
Super cool
June 12th, 2014  
so cool!!!!!!!!!!! LUV IT!!! love the reflection, love the black on black, love the dark side ^^ Hopefully it wasn't permanent marker
June 12th, 2014  
@annied Don't do that, you'd only make me cry!
@andy3168 thanks very much
@andrewkru thanks, it is a little freaky
@gigiflower Caustic Soda ;)
@dougapic thanks very much
@lynnilou It always comes off - as for my daughter, yes she's seen it in progress and just sighed and walked away! She's 14 so I dread to think what she tells her friends...more money in the therapy jar!
@wenbow thanks very much
@livvy thank you so much, always appreciated....and just face paint!
June 12th, 2014  
Just love it! Mesmerising and big fav
June 12th, 2014  
@roseolivia Thanks so much, much appreciated!
June 12th, 2014  
Yes generally a disturbing shot but creative to and I like the even more sinister reflection
June 12th, 2014  
@wearing0 Thanks very much - it was the reflection that made me decide to post it!
June 12th, 2014  
cool but scary!!! :)
June 12th, 2014  
Very very awesome.
June 12th, 2014  
@nookie72 Thanks very much ;)
@cindyloo Thanks very much :)
June 13th, 2014  
@graemestevens Oh dear, in that case I'll have my people talk to your people to see if a tipping point can be averted.
June 13th, 2014  
This is fantastic, I love the reflection. Makes me want to get a tripod to attempt indoor shots. I don't know how you do the lighting though, do you set up lights? And hilarious about the therapy jar for your daughter, I must get one for my nine year old!
June 13th, 2014  
@graemestevens hahahaha oh I only do that to kindy kids when I laugh
June 13th, 2014  
@jess1204 thanks very much, the lighting is just the Softbox App on an iPad, so nothing special
June 13th, 2014  
i am amazed you are married if this is how you went about it
June 15th, 2014  
@kali66 So am I...
