Description
Dummies Portrait and reflections in an unknow shop window.The grain is quite big because I worked in 400 iso at night and I reframed the picture. Also I reworked on every tone separately ! like a research of something new...imperfect just like the remember of an old dream...

It's a very funny one ! did you reworked it on Photoshop ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I didn't do anything with it really. Or of course I did. I resized it. And added "emopirat" in the top of it as you may see? But I didn't do anything else. how?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's an amazing grimace (pull a face) !
A last question...Emopirat what does it means please ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay. Lets split the word.
Emo - pirat
Pirat is the norwegian word for Pirate. But I couldn't juste emopirate cause it was alreay taken
Emo... eh.. that's more complecatet to describe.. it's a style, music, clothes, the way you act... yeah... you have:
Goths, emokids, normal people, hippies, gangstarns... yeah.
Emo comes from the word emosjonell 
And I'm a emokid. and I'm a pirate xD
so that's why EmoPirat xD

Thanks a lot Khokolotte ! I like to shot these pictures because it's a mix between fashion portraits and statues portraits ! and some people told me they like these pictures because they're quite in a fetish style ....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome! I would really like to shoot pictures like these. But I'm kind of shy about taking my camera out in public.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My camera love to see and meet a lot of people outside my home ! I don't know why !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am going to take my camera shopping tomorrow, so this will be it's first experiance outside my home. I home it doesn't get to scared.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh eh I talked about my camera like a little dog you know !
Oh I'm sure your camera would love to go shopping with you !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I went shopping and I got a few nice pictures. I'm gonna post them, so be sure to pop on by and take a look!

I'm just coming back from your gallery and I've seen very nice pictures ! my favorites are the ones without any photop-manipulation ! and I like your mannequins pictures I see that you feel them and have a real pleasure to shot these pictures ! do you take portraits sometimes ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks very much! I'm glad you like my gallery!
And no, I don't take portraits. I just take skrew around self portraits, but none of those are DA postable. I wish I could get somebody to model for me. I was actually thinking of going to the bad part of town, and see if there'd be a nice hobo that would model for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope to see one day some of your selfportraits ! what kind of model would like to shot a man or a woman ?
Oh I know on the web (@ flickr) an American photographer doing a great work about tramps, homeless and hobos see stoneth's work @: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, maybe one day I'll actually get one that is postable.
And if I had my choice between a man and a woman, I choose a woman. But I would take either one! I'd be happy if I could just get someone to model for me. 
And thanks for showing me that photographer, They do really nice stuff. They're stuff is very crisp!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe that one of your friend could be your model ! or yes an unknown person met on the street !
I'm looking for new models (women) too ! it's quite hard to find and sometimes I'm a bit to reserved to ask !
Yes it's a beautiful work and human research !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've already tried to get my friends to they always say "I don't look good on camera". I always tell them "I can fix that on the computer!". But alas, they do not let me...
I might just have to be shopping one day, and see a person and ask them "Can I take your picture?" Hmm, Maybe I will
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if you tell them that you can fix their aesthetic problems on Photoshop they could be upset you know !
Maybe that the logical way could be to take selfportraits at first and then to find a model an older woman someone very self confident !
P.S: Thanks very much for all your comments and favorites on my work !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess I'll just keep doing selfportraits, And maybe I will get a model someday.
And you're welcome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe that soon someone will come and we'll ask you for a photoshooting ! it could be great !

Oh I'm glad you do Sagacious ! it's a new style of picture for me and i don't know yet what to think about it...
