This is really cool.  Love the expression, love the presentation, just a bit confused by the gang sign you are throwing :),

Oh Chelle...I SO love this!   I've been playing around w/ my camera myself over here.   I just love the expression you captured ...and how you're peeking through...as you're slowly exposing allowing others to get to know you better.

Beautiful...the photo, and you.

Much love,
Nance
