Been thinking of a themes and trying to express myself with a shots on that theme. Trying to do something different than I usually do. How did I go and how can I improve. I was pleased with this overall. I have a Sony A65 and I used SS 1/160 AP 4.5 ISO 400 and FL 45mm, no edits, hand held. I know a tri-pod would be better but did not have with me and ignore the mark on the wall. These photos are just for me, saw this idea on another site I look at.

It is a little different, but not far off from the work of at least two extremely talented women. Cindy Sherman 4 decades ago modeled for her own photography. At least one of those prints has sold for a couple million dollars since then (it set a record at the time). If you haven't seen her work, definitely worth Googling for a look!

A more recent example, though not nearly as famous yet just as academic with a Master of Fine Arts and a professor, is a lady more dear to my own heart. Erica Lord is related to people here in Barrow that are close friends. Do a Google search to find her facsinating photographs of herself as many things. You can check out my web page at http://apaflo.com/ericalord/ to see the real world Erica (through my lens rather than hers, which is no less an unreal view). There is a clickable URL there that goes directly to her web page. Trust that her images, no matter how outwardly humorous, are dead serious.
