Desaturated self portrait of Sean Parry with a mean look on his face

Mean streets

I'm not actually a mean person, although one of my close friends would always disagree that I am, in fact all my friends would probably agree I am ... but I digress. I was trying to edit a photo to create a desaturated impactful image with plenty of shadows, pores and wrinkles. Well it turns out I don't have many wrinkles so I pretty much gave up on that idea.

But the expression of this photo grabbed me. It pretty much screams " I'm going to dent your face with a spade then put your eyes out with a cigerette and then continue to stamp on your broken body until you slowly mould into the shape of the tread of my boot". But don't be alarmed, I'm actually a really nice person. Maybe.
