That's true. I keep telling Rebecca we should get professional portraits of ourselves done sometime, instead of the cheesy point-and-click pictures I keep taking. Although I still think she looks pretty good even in my crappy point-and-click photos:

Hm... I tried to take normal photos, but I found the alure of photoshop impossible to resist.

The only reason I didn't T-1000ize my clothing as well is because I couldn't get it to monochrome properly. Besides, a T-1000 can wear clothing.

Ace Pace, what Largon master said is totally true. For all you know I could be a botoxed, liposuctioned, implanted, plastice woman of injective death. :D

And Hot Damn those are some nice photos. I'm especially loving the one of Darth Wong's wife sitting on the bench and YT3000000's second picture.

Thanks. :) However, with that, you've set off my perfectionism. Now I will start to work on a better, more realistic picture (maybe still me as a Terminator though). Perhaps a T-800 this time?

Try it without the fancy robotness. See if you can do something simple, yet elegant.

Certainly. It's not like there's a limit to how many pics I can post, right? *eyes shift around the room* Right? :)

Oh completely. Post as many pictures as you like. I'm trying to restrain myself from my camwhore tendencies, however.

I failed in my attempts to ignore my base instincts of camwhoredom.

It's a widely speculated (and often accepted) fact that sci-fi fans are
  • A) Not photogenic.
    B) Not creative
    C) Not understanding of just what's aesthetically pleasing.
    D) All pimple faced, over weight, asthmatic, sinus infected, jack monkies.
We all know this just isn't the case (with some exceptions) and it's about time we cleared the matter up.

Things to consider while taking a self-portrait.
  • A) Lighting
    B) Composition
    C) Negative space
    D) Rule of thirds.
Can you prove them wrong?

If I had a clue how to take a decent self portait I'd give it a shot. As it is I have only a handful of pictures of my i like, and all those were taken by other people.
