half-remembered names and faces by summerfield

half-remembered names and faces

partner was so amused watching me take a self portrait. sixty self portraits, in fact. different lighting, different zoom, different everything, but same face, same hat. it happens that of the few canes we kept from his mother's farm house ten years ago, we had that gentleman's baton. not quite clear here, but you can see the handle, albeit barely, on the left. ah, you wonder about the moustache. mais non, i didn't grow it overnight. i made a cut-out and taped it onto to a barbecue stick. then i cloned out the stick. in the end i decided to put on the red lipstick again, why, because it goes with the 'tache!

methinks it's about time to change that profile pic, don't you think so?

thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are truly and genuinely appreciated, folks.
I love the white collar. Stunning even with the stache

You are very creative! And persevering - sixty photos! This is excellent with the dark side of your personality displayed!

Very Hercule, the grey cells have done a wonderful job. Perhaps the answer to being afraid, very afraid of "the Selfie" is to take lots and lots?

Another creative idea for the bowler hat! Nice mustache! You have a lot of patience to take sixty self portraits, but you got a great result!
