Self-Portrait

So i'm not much in the habit of taking self-portraits, in fact for being a photographer I really am quite camera shy.  But I've always been conceited.  I just try not to broadcast that fact to often.  That's a joke by the way.  The real reason for my obsession with my own face is because I just got a hold of some new lighting gear that I was eager to test out and oddly enough there are very few people up at 1am who want to model.
