Thanks to Aquilles Kalixto P. Maraan from the Middle East for sending me this  wonderful gift.

I thought that it was time to change my avatar.  I had my tripod, found good available light inspite of the weather, and used this scarf that was given to me as gift. It's not a keffiyeh, by the way. It just looks like one. Please don't see this self-portrait as a political protest.

 

I have said many times before, The Afghan Girl serves as my inspiration. With this, I also tried to bring out the Mona Lisa feel. I cannot explain it but this is what came out of my impromptu shoot.

Took me a couple of shots because a self-portrait with a tripod is harder to do, especially if you're alone in doing it.

Presenting my third masterpiece in this series: my self-portrait.
