Photographer Self-Portrait

I, like many professional photographers, do not like to be in front of the camera. I much prefer being behind the camera, seeing my vision come to life in the view finder.

Since
1. I was wanting to practice a new (new to me) lighting technique.
and
2. I desperately needed a new image of myself for my website.

I decided to do a self-portrait today.

For those interested...the new lighting technique I was working with was off-camera flash. I used just one flash unit, firing through an umbrella. This will be so much nicer then lugging my huge tungsten light and softbox to on location studio set-ups.
