portraying the che

please don't think that i am getting cocky because i post two self-portraits in a row - these are 2 out of maybe 5 self-portraits i tried over several years.

when i saw this rare bill of a socialist/marxist group in munich (there aren't many of them left) i knew i wanted to do something with it. alone it didn't shine too much, but as it was sticking to the back of a bus stand, there was not much possibility to add something that would make a picture work. the glass material of the bus stand finally made me try out reflections, but there were not so many people around and time was running. so in the end a self-portrait with the che was all i could make out of this. romanticising mode on: that's not that bad, i think...
