Today I was in an odd mood. As I was hanging out with my brother and my friend Matt, I got the sudden urge to watch an old Godzilla movie. Sadly they didn't have Godzilla Vs Mothra. We ended up with Terror of Mechagodzilla. It was pretty freaking awesome though. I love cheesy special effects. So epic.
After the movie I was feeling quite sleepy. I decided not to fight it and just have a nice nap. When I woke up most of the light was gone, but there was just enough to get my self portrait done with natural light.
I wanted to do something different for today's self portrait. Since I didn't have a model of tokyo to destroy (sigh), I tried to figure out another way to show my inner monster. I went with the Banshee. The Banshee is a female spirit in Irish mythology, usually seen as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. I am just Irish enough that there is a part of me that slightly believes in Banshees. I had a few nightmares about it as a child.
I love how this image turned out. It gives me chills. :)
Listen to this when you look at it and you will get an idea of how it makes me feel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfBVYhyXU8o

I love this. It's alluring yet a little scary all at once. Good job. :)
