Today's my birthday! And this year Ryan has something a little more normal in mind for my cake. Almost.

This is a reference to my Halloween 2022 post!

Holmes leaned back in his chair, placed his finger-tips together, and closed his eyes with an air of resignation. Dr. Mortimer turned the manuscript to the light and read in a high, crackling voice the following curious, old-world narrative:—

"The Illustrated Sherlock Holmes Treasury" - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Space Mind

I’m trying to improve my skills behind and in front of the camera. If nothing else, being more comfortable in front of the camera will give me more opportunity to experiment, learn, and improve my actual photography skills - playing with set ups, backgrounds, gear, and lighting whenever I feel like it without needing to wait for an available model.

So I took these self-portraits in my flat.

Recently I posted these on Threads and was surprised at how many people said they didn’t think they were worth taking photos of. They wish they took more but felt silly doing it or like there was no point.

Everyone is worthy. It’s such a beautiful thing and I never regret taking these kinds of photos, even if I do feel silly in the moment.

And since I’m the photographer, I get to decide which ones the world sees.

How do you feel about taking photos of yourself?

This is my newest Tier 2 emote! Originally Tem had the blanket covering his eyes, but I decided it made him look too much like a cult leader haha.
