Hi Folks

Well yes, I'd have to say I qualify as a genuine curmudgeon at times.

When I did my self-portrait for TOPE, 

http://www.millennics.com/olympus/tope/gallery.html

Image number about 91 - just to the right of "Red" (Che Guevarra) Wesson !!

I was going through a period of being quite angry at life - and everything, 
really. My self-portrait was an attempt to portray this.

Although the painting in the picture is definitely a favourite of mine, and the 
expression on the painted face is probably not intended to be of anger, it 
could be construed as such. So I was trying to get the painting to reflect my 
inner self.

I'm not like that now - but don't push me ;-)

I don't know if the symbolism? (is that the correct term) worked.

And while I'm on the topic of TOPE; great shot by Dan Danrich.

Brian
