This is a pic I made of myself using my new Sony Ericsson W900i, an incredible phone by the way, recommend to anyone. I then played with in Photoshop CS a bit and tadda... Well ok so there was a point to me taking the picture of myself, I assure you I'm not usually this narcissistic it was designed as part of a card for my grand mother who requested a personalised card from each of her grandchildren.I like this style when taking portraits, Black and White (with Curves, Levels and Contrast of course) is always the best way to go and the vertical strokes give a little character and encase my name nicely I thought.
Sorry about taking so long to post I have been a touch busy with work and moving house and all that. But on the upside I brought you all a present on the right of the screen you will see my new tenant Mandy's blog it is awesome. Click by and take a look but don't you dare do the quiz those credits are mine ;-)

Hello Martijn,
Just dropping by to say hello. Nice room you have here. It's tidy, clean, and comfortable. I feel right at home.
Oh and I LOVE black and white shots, there's so much more life to them. They seem to have more of an identity.
Tomorrow is the draw for those credits, so I'll keep you informed. Good luck!
Mandy :=)
just dropping by to say hi =)
black&white make the pic more mystic..i like it.
I like it. Self-portraits aren't narcissistic at all... part of becoming a better artist and great for posterity!
What a great site
