haha, no, Ernesto is not an external flash system (I wish I had one, though, I can't wait to see yours). I was referring to the cloudy skies created by my impending hurricane Ernesto, which should hit the coast around 3am tonight, I think. Anyway, whatever the case, he's my friend because his cloudy skies created that perfect soft white light through the window. I wish I had had someone else to model though, because I definitely didn't make full use of the conditions with my timed shutter release shots, which made for frantic positioning. Next time, though.

another thing: how would I teach you to take a picture like this when I've seen portraits of yours that beat this one with ease? And seriously, I'm not afraid to say it when I think my shots are good, so you can trust that I am serious when I say I'm not too proud of some. This is one of them. It was a photo I took on a whim to try out my timed picture-taking setting in that particular light. It turned out exactly what I was aiming for: a jab at the pensive myspace portrait. Don't discount your ability with portraits.
My god man, when I first laid eyes on that picture I feared you had fallen from grace. I thought the long and illustrious career of The Boys would be ended with a single snap of your camera's shutter. I saw the rambunctious, quick witted, and spiteful youth snuffed out, replaced by some "dark souled", falsely introspective so and so. I welled up with rage and disappointment, "How could this have happened? Where did I not do my duty?!" I was devastated.
However, the universe has spared us all this cruel ironic fate. I saw that it was simply a mean spirited jape at the so called "counter culture" that you despise with intensity. I am glad.
nice hair. ha I really like this picture. My Environmental class is tracking the beasty Ernesto. Hope to see you soon. maybe we all can hang out sometime this weekend? -caro-
