I was once again without a model for my portrait assignment. 

But I don't take myself too seriously.

052 | another self portrait (explanation to follow)

I think two self portraits in one month deserve an explanation. For my Photography class, we are working on a Portrait assignment. There was literally nobody to be found to model for me, and my instructor insists that he not be photographed.
The assignment is designed to help us learn more about studio lighting in terms of portrait photography. So for each photo, I used the timer on my camera to take a photo of myself. This took forever. I would make adjustments, click the shutter button, wait ten seconds, take a photo of myself, walk back to the camera, check for needed adjustments, make the adjustments, etc. For over an hour. But it was a very good learning experience.
This photo is an example of side lighting.

One of my Commercial Graphics instructors once told me that the custodians in the Kansas Technology Center where all the graphics classes are held are not allowed to touch the computers, and therefore cannot clean the keyboards.
