Drink more. Shoot more.
Looks like you had fun and it's good to see the shot evolve into what you were looking for
Im giggling at you being half ****ed in a gas mask shooting yourself, some people might think that sounds weird, but perfectly normal behaviour in our circles

I dunno if this makes it better if worse but this was a combined effort.

That bucky has a lot to answer for with you young neds haha

The ones I like most are the ones where you can't quite see your eyes : it adds to the sinister air of the photos.

Like them, especially the first and last shots.....I did something similar without drinking Merlot...got hold of 3 gas masks and had fun taking some selfies...must put some on here..
