Self Portrait

Beach Legs

Did you know that sometimes self portraits don't even have to have your face in it?

These are my legs and these are my tattoos and my personal artwork and line work! (Yes I fully designed those tattoos single handedly and I inked my own skin)

I am at the beach here. Well, I'm first at the pool but if you look beyond the gates in the background you'll see the Atlantic Ocean!

I have an affinity for photographing my thighs and the ocean!

NIKON D3400 + AP F.4.2 + ISO 100 + FL 18mm + ET 1/1400s + Edited in LR to adjust colors and depth using a custom preset designed by me.

If you have made it this far... I am probably going to assume you are wondering why I chose this particular photo or even non face subject?

This is how I see myself. Well this is how I see myself in about 10 years. In 6 years, there is a big chance I am going to be an empty nester.. My next move will be to a beachfront house. I will be sipping on margaritas and mimosas every day.

I've always enjoyed the beach as a little kid. Strange thing is tho my astrological element is Earth, not water, but the beach i
s still land!!!

The music tattoos represent me in several ways. One being an artist and very right brained it would only come natural that I would also do tattooing and not just painting, paper drawings, and photographs.

Also being right brained I am musically talented I suppose. Well I have been told by many a day but I lack self confidence a lot. I have the bass / bass clef / c clef as my go to instrument for years is the bass. I also have a kick ass set of Alesis Nitro Mesh Electric Drums. My sound system in my car is set to heavier bass frequencies.

The G clef represents music altogether. I also was in chorus growing up. Went to many vocal competitions in my day and scoring excellent and superiors. My voice isn't as it used to be but I can still hit all the high notes and sing Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart like no tomorrow..

So this is a really old photo of my bass. It was designed and contracted to Fender by Mike Drint. Don't know who he is?? I'm sure you know who Green Day is.. Yes the bass player from Green Day! Of course I had to throw my own flare and use neon pink strings!

NIKON D3400 + AP F.4.5 + ISO 12800 + FL 32mm + ET 1/125s + Edited in LR to adjust colors and depth using a custom preset designed by me.

A very artistic view of my drum set. I used the flash light from my cell phone at one angle and the lamp in my room at another angle to get the added up and down shadow effect!

Taken on my Galaxy S10 with a water proof cellphone bag / case.

Here is another prime example of me and my affinity. I was just floating down the lazy river here!

Anyways it is kind of late in my Time Zone. I took some benadryl because I was breaking out into a rash so off to bed I go!!

Thanks for Viewing... Have a GREAT TUESDAY EVERYONE!
