Shooting for Smiley Pete’s Leading Ladies of the Bluegrass series. Explanation of why I’m being a total cheese: I use myself — and a self-timer — to frame a portrait, get the light levels close to right, and approximate expressions for my subject. When I’m close to ready with these things I’ll call them in. everybody wins, and I get some funny self-portraits along the way — in this case, with a couple of mint-condition Bentleys.
