    Default Yours Truly - The "Old Photo" Photographer

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I finally got a chance this morning to take a self-portrait for Yours Truly week, so here's me posing in front of the old, trusty barn. :)

    I set the camera up on a couple of cinder blocks and used self timer to allow me to get into the shot. It took a number of tries to figure out the right place to stand, but I finally got one that I was pleased with. And of course, I aged the photo using three of my own textures, "RVT-Tan" from Shadowhouse Creations, and the 11th texture on this page here.

    Hey Christopher - very cool photo! You look like a real old-timer. :) Where's the pitchfork?

    You are a Barn Chris, not a Barn Owl. Man, this image really, really rocks. Great to see all of you, even though you look a 100 years old. :p

    Christopher, this is really cool. Now we know the setting. The Barn is probably the most recognized icon in OOTB and with you in the photo, it is now complete! TFS.

    Hi Christopher, are you sure thats not your great grandfather? You have mastered the aging technique and was clever of you to include yourself in the image. Neat!

    Because of your avatar, we know what you look like so this was a great way to do an interesting self-portrait!

    Steve is right....you really need a pitchfork. ;)

    Yep Christopher.....figures the macro mods want a prop.....but the pitchfork would be the icing on the cake! Very creative and nice to meet you!

    Thanks Ken and Roman! I'm an aspiring farmer, so yeah, come to think of it a pitchfork would be perfect for me! :) I'll have to see if I have one.
