Oh I love that one. It really captures you. All of them are neat.
You want feedback? Ok, here goes. If you're trying to emulate "The Thinker" well you forgot one thing. The Thinker is stark naked. You've got to redo the pose without your clothes. I'll be waiting. (Nice photo, BTW. But you're room is still a mess. )

Thank you very much for the feedback. It is much appreciated.
You guessed it. I was trying to pose like Rodin's "The Thinker", but it's been so long since I've seen it (and I didn't bother to look it up either!) that I got the pose a bit wrong. Oh, and I'll get right to that, Virgil.
Here's a pic of what inspired the photo for those who are unfamiliar:
And for giggles:
com-pas-sion (n.) [ME. & OFr. <LL. (Ec.) compassio, sympathy < compassus, pp. of compati, to feel pity < L. com-, together + pali, to suffer] sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others, accompanied by an urge to help; deep sympathy; pity

Sorry 'bout that, Dori.
I like your thinking picture. I think it is compositionally interesting. For some helpful hints, though, regarding black and white, I would have to say to be careful about overdoing it with contrast. The whites can look blown out and overdone if you're not careful, and if you adjust things too much, the image becomes noisy (pixel-y). That may be the look you are going for; I know some people like their B&Ws to look like that, as it adds to the overall antique appearance.
Overall, though, nice work! It's fun to get to see what you look like

and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
sunny skies pervade my dreams
and light the dark of earthly scenes..."
That's my little cousin, Shawn, and me. He just had his 6th birthday on the 18th. This is a lil old because I have braces now. I look the same but add braces...I wear glasses everynow and then but I found this pic and think Shawn is so cuteeee!!!

I finally have the courage to post a picture of myself. Here I am sitting outside the Museum of Modern Art in NYC
What Are You Crazy!!!
Great to see you PNB!

my love for bangles
I'm Asian. Painfully Asian sometimes.
The worst feeling in the world isn't loneliness, it's being forgotten by someone you can't forget.
What a great smile you have Equality. That's a great picture.
Very nice picture PNB. Your hair looks great.
What do you mean "painfully"? You seem like a nice young man. And you look great with the baby. Is that the Golden Gate Bridge in the background?

I'm just saying I'm way too asian for my own good. Gadaamnn I love Ramen noodles.
Me and my famille just went to San Fransisco this summer. Actually it was more like last month, but I just now got all the pictures up on mai myspace/facebook. So I thought I'd just share.
