A fairly appropriate self-portrait

Gotta be honest, my self-portrait involved a lot of hey-let's-push-this-button-and-see-what-happens. Being new to both Macs and Photoshop, this was actually a much harder challenge than I'd anticipated. After looking at all the artwork in the textbook, I felt especially daunted. (I was especially happy to find a Klimt work used as an example; I really, really love his work.)

I had plenty of ideas on what I wanted to do, but as many things in my life, I couldn't properly execute what I saw in my mind. Thus I left it largely up to chance. But that's how I end up with a lot of things in my life, so it seems appropriate for a self-portrait. And I got to play with Photoshop, so it's a win-win, really.
