Lenses
This image has been used previously by my brother, who, in the 80's
made
himself a pair of joke glasses from a set of lenses, took it into a
photo booth,
and made a brilliant self-portrait.........
Mine's quite different, with real lenses, taken in MacOsX "photo booth"
application,
which is a brilliant toy! The eyes follow you through the room, just
like those of the Mona Lisa.
Eat your heart out, Leonardo, and this one was a lot quicker to make
too. Really, I tried to figure
out what I'd look like if nature had been less kind to me regarding
my eyesight, and more
importantly, what would have happened to me, had I gone down the Bank
Manger route of life.
Basically, this picture is one of a series of silly self portraits,
like "Blow..."
