Description:
Photographer/Model=Me
As you can see it was quite cold, and my shirt was terribly thin. It was waaaaaaaaaaay below freezing, but I was determined to get a shot. Though I must admit I was a bit stupid. Underneath all of the snow, and such, there are countless nails, broken glass, even found a rabbit once. I couldn't feel my arms, legs, hands, feet, lips, anything. The snow was too hard to get the tripod to stand straight, which explains the slanted look. I didn't know how far back to stand, as I was on a timer, and my mom was yelling for me to come back to the car... This was a very rushed shot. I honestly don't even know if I like it or not, considering the fact that my head is cut off, it's not properly balanced, and I was this weird look on my face, but then again I couldn't feel my face. Plus, it's been a while since I've done a full body shot of myself. I had to look at the camera when I was setting up to know I was touching it. It was that cold.
I named this shot 'Welcome Home' because with the slight angle, and look on my face, it almost looks like I'm welcoming someone back, with a bit of disappointment. Like someone just woke up from a coma, or something, and this is what is there to greet them. "Welcome Home, everything is as you left it." With a few exceptions. Maybe it's just me that sees that.

It almost looks as if you and the background are separate, if that makes any sense...and the tilted angle makes it look cool Nice job!
