Because being a musician and not playing withers your soul.

Taken on the spur of the moment when the light was falling just right.

She's wearing my hat and playing my guitar, by the way; handy props.

Three-hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day seven

This is my first attempt at doing something Rebekka Gudleifsdottir-esque (yes, I know, terrible English, sue me).

It was bloody hard to do, let me tell you. For one thing, even moving from one position to the other meant that the lighting conditions behind me changed. In such a small room, with only one reliable light source this was, perhaps, a bad idea. It tested my gimp-fu anyway.

I shot it in colour and desaturated it since it made the matching of edges and colours easier. Final wash of colour applied in Picasa whilst I was playing about.

(And I've just noticed the rather odd bulge in the standing-me's right buttock. It's my wallet, not a gimping error (though I should have removed it). Ah, well.)

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
