What the 'eck. Self portrait. Taken yesterday. Canon 40D; Sigma macro. All the household lights I could muster, plus a small lamp pointing up from waist height. No airbrushing; no make-up except a little brow pencil (advancing decrepitude means they're faint, otherwise).

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I've done it four times now, but it's an odd thing, in that the results tend to look very different to any pictures other people have taken of me. And of course, the 'camera doesn't lie' in the same way that a painting or sketch might. I'm never quite sure how I feel about the results, to be honest – because they're never what I expect. They're not what I see in other pictures – or even in the mirror.

I will, somewhere, have pictures (albeit B&W) taken in full make up as The Wicked Witch of the West in a stage production of The Wizard of Oz. I really must root them out and scan them.
