Picture Me

First picture of me on this blog. I just realised that this is the first time i have consciously taken a picture of my hand. I dont imagine people go around taking pictures of their hands all the time. However i think its a good picture. Perhaps i should have done it earlier.

The contrast between my skin colour and the wall is really cool. Skin colour is very important when it comes to taking pictures. This picture for instance wouldn't have the same effect if i was white. If the background was darker then the effect would be better if i was white. Any photographers out there who know more about this than i do please feel free to comment.
