What are tags? You can give your posts a "tag", which is like a keyword. Tags help you find content which has something in common. You can assign as many tags as you wish to each post.
What do you do when the power is out? You pick up a camera and take a photo of yourself!
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.
There have been a lot of request about my workflow for this particular photo. The truth is, I was experimenting on it (and I still am). It's hard for me to explain the complete process of how I did it.
So, instead of going through the step by step process by documenting it and writing it down, please download the PSD file here, with all layers intact. (File Size: 11 MB)
Again, this is just an experimental workflow, some people might have better techniques and style. It's not meant to be perfect. Feel free to experiment with your own style, too.
My gift.
Enjoy,
PARC
P.S. If you plan on using the workflow and posting it, all I ask is a credit back to this post. Thanks.
