Recently I was reading an article on Theodore Roosevelt, when I noticed his Presidential self-portrait in which, he also leaned on a table while staring assertively at the viewer, so I thought it would be an interesting self-portrait, my expectations were meet. I suppose the strength of this image comes from a sense of confidence within me, that stands its ground and backs down to no one, a quality that I do believe I possess. Frontal formalities are obviously necessary in life, but truthful realism of a personality is vital as well. I like myself, despite all of my faults and I am proud to be me.
I know where your coming from, old portraits are great inspiration for new poses and shots. Wonderful job!
