365 Day 351**

What’s happening? I am pleased to bring to you day 351 of my already completed but not yet posted 365-day self-portrait project.
You know what I noticed while editing this that was not originally intended? Depp and De Niro on the posters behind me have the exact same body language that I do. In fact, they are both looking down at practically the same angle my head is.
There is something very poignant in a portrait when the person hides their eyes like that. Thinking about it, I tend to do it a lot in my self-portraits, especially when I’m wearing a hat with a brim like a fedora. It’s the perfect piece of apparel to give that enigmatic kind of look.
Someone sent me an email the other day telling me that I seem complicated. Whether that is true or not really depends how you define the word. But what she said next I couldn’t agree with more. And that was that she thought that you would think most people would be complicated, but they aren’t.
And I got to thinking that whole entire statement is entirely true! When it boils down to it, most people I encounter are rather simple.
Which leads me back to the looking down eye thing. I think that look leads to more of a mysterious feel. Essentially, making them seem like they are complicated.
Of course for some reason being labeled as such is sort of a compliment when you’re a man. But I don’t think any women want to be labeled like that. Ladies, whatcha think?
The shot at hand? Me sitting at my kitchen table with 2 movie posters behind me. I am pretending to read a book. Forever whatever reason, there seems to be salt scattered all over the table. I spent 2-3 hours processing this manipulating the colors and messing with the hands, face and other smallish details. Before I was finished, I ended up with almost 20 layers.
