Noir Self Portrait

Get Pushed Project #555
My partner asked "how would you feel about attempting something "noir"?" I thought I'd like to attempt it. It took a number of attempts. I was surprised how much light some electronics give off and how much they interfered with the lighting for this photo.
I'm guessing this would be best viewed on black if it doesn't take too much time.
