This is a self-portrait of me practicing my guitar. I've only been playing a few months, but might even learn the thing if I can get one of those remotes for my camera. I used my cam's 10 second timer...so didn't have much time to actually practice during this particular photo shoot. I barely had enough time to pick up the thing(s)...but I did try and play something in tune...to keep it real. My plan even worked half the time....even got a decent workout running back and forth in the wee hours of the night/morning. Gee...it is light outside now...my , how time flies when one is busy, and when one is under the influence of super diet pepsi I even supplemented myself. Now I really want a cigarette. I must quite that nasty sh--t. Please wish me luck, pray, whatever, I must stop smoking damnit to hell 1!@!@@##%$%!!!!! I did some postwork including nix color effex pro plus too much stuff for me to remember, although for the actual photo I used two remote flashes, a lamp shade(figured it would make for a decent diffuser/light box kind of thing, and bounced the other flash off of a white matboard. Just playing around...I have nooo idea. Well, almost no idea, But I do know it wasn't all the effects...I must say...the original didn't look all too bad, and still doesn't...in my humble opinion ;-) May be I know more than I think you think I do. God knows, hopefully He is not mad at me. Peace be to God! I love you God :-) Please don't kill me!!! have a good day/God Bless :-) thanks for looking/peace. If only you could hear me...lol. Actually, I think I may just be starting to catch on to this guitar thing. I love it. It is an Ibanez model by the way. Not a Fender. Round necks on those things don't feel right. To each his/her own then...anyways....I need Much work/practice..I need much more...but I love it. METAL!!!
