Hi members,

The level 2 photo assignment this month is deliberately cropped faces. (take a portrait and crop the face deliberately - preferably IN-CAMERA)

Okay then who will post first?

Sorry I've been off for so long--life's been crazy the past few months.

My son wouldn't sit still for me to get a decent shot of him, so you're stuck with this guy instead.

We had a photoshoot in exchange for sushi lunch. Good deal I would say. I need to practice using strobes. She wanted me to photoshop her "butt chin" but I told her I love it and wouldn't change it. Looking at a close up photograph of yourself is intimidating and even frightening.

Nice sharp eyes and eyelashes Matt. K!
Nice BW self-crop Jason!
Mbrager - wonderful light on Laura - well done.

I like everyones crops - but when I was thinking about this assignment, I was thinking super-dramatic crops.

So not even sure this works - but here is some play from yesterday! As usual thanks to my wife Carmy for posing.
