oh! that's what solarization is! thank you!
was this taken near a beach? you look very "beachy" here.

^ no. this is actually the back wall of the chocolate factory. although technically this is about 1 mile from the beach. my front door is to my left and in front of me are some friendly trees. blackthorn, hawthorn and whatnot.

haha, feel free to do an emilie anytime ;) (erm doesnt that sound a bit weird)
what's solarization, btw..?

^ haha well i don't know if that's its real name. sure someone who is geeky about all this stuff will know. but basically just after pulling the pola, peel apart and then stick back together and allow it to develop for the usual (80 secs or whatever). you can see the effect best on the shoulders i suppose (looks like there's extra light in the print), but it's not a great example.

^ Vaporiss does it too. Check it out.

great impersonation! attitude, hairstyle, tank top, emulsion leaks... and you even bloody went to south pole to shoot it! *impressed*.

^ definitely a moody day.......... i tried to solarise the bottom a bit like pierre does (well i think he does!). i'm sorry. if i was a girl i would have done an emilie. actually, i might.
