My ugly mug...

[equilution]

Sorry to desecrate the sanctity of DPS with my ugly mug, but I couldn't resist a self portrait using my new studio light kit. I used a light box and an umbrella with, I thought, pretty decent results for a first time with studio lights. Later in the evening I used a black muslin backdrop, but this one seemed to scream, convert me to b/w...so I did. I've got a lot more experimenting to do. My next project is b/w with side-only lighting. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

A little bit bushy but certainly not ugly
