Self Portrait/ Caleb

Tried to think of what I could add to the photos to tell a little about myself.  Since firearms and politics are important to me, I donned the "Revolution" bandana and pulled out some guns. All shots taken in the backyard about an hour before sunset, no flash, all edited in lightroom and photoshop CS3. 

55 mm

  2. So my fav's are 2 and 3. But definitely 2. 3 is a great picture but if you moved the weapon more to the right it would have more of an impact. You kind of loose the the weapon within all the color. But great shots man. I'm proud to call you my brother-in-law.

  5. All 3 look great. Im gonna have to agree with mark but other than that im loving all three of them. Out of all three of them im liking no.1 the most. I see that you're serious about politics because it's written on your face and the glasses just give it that much more attitude.... good job, caleb!!!

  6. The mac is great man, one of the best investments I've ever made. Thanks again. Now I just gotta get some money up and go buy an external harddrive for all my pics and music. Any suggestions on a good one ?

  7. you can get an external HD for a pretty good price these days. I perfer something that has a firewire 400 connection over USB 2.0 for your laptop. like this 500gb external HD: http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-FireWire-External-Poulton-301313U/dp/B00170H0O6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1232456355&sr=1-2
