Aside from basic cropping, there is no photoshop here. This is an entirely in-camera effect that I orginally made happen by accident.
These really are not the most extraordinary photographs, but as self portraits go, I think they are fascinating and terrifying. This probably has mostly to do with my macabre obsession with death, dying, and entropy (even though I don't believe in any kind of afterlife).
The other cool thing about these is the resulting images really are random, whereas if I created them in photoshop, I would have to actually create them. That is not nearly as fun and surprising as pointing the camera in a direction and seeing what happens. It makes me want to shoot film again instead of just digital.
