Portrait Photography: Self-Portrait Experimenting

I've obviously (if you follow my blog, I'm sure you've noticed) failed miserably at my 52 self-portrait project (not to mention my other 52 week projects).  With the preparation of the wedding, the move, the actual wedding, and well, just trying to settle, I got a bit stressed with everything. 

Silly me thought for sure I'd be taking some self-portraits on the wedding day. 

WHAT WAS I THINKING? 

Anyway, I did some experimenting at the end of last week while I was working on some rebranding, and I came up with this. 

(If you recognize the portrait, it's my about me portrait!)

I am really excited to take a less rigid approach to my work (including my blog) and just really enjoy experimenting with my art for the time being.  It feels very good and very refreshing after the the crazy few months we've had. 

Oh Happy Monday..
