The Daily Post tells us:
In photography, often we achieve that effect by putting light behind the object whose silhouette we want to capture, effectively darkening out the features of the subject instead of highlighting them.
I suspect if my 2012 self stood in front of my 1982 self* I’d be darkening out all my features several times over.
*Hey! I’ve seen Star Trek – time travel will be possible one day and when it is, I’ll come back and do this and prove it to you.

Ha, waiting for proof.
Okay somebody ran off with your smile. When I see your Gravator around and about or here in the header I auto-shift to smiling myself regardless of my mood. Regardless how people see us, if your smiling the whole world smiles back -unless they are a Cuban police officer, you cannot get them to smile as I have tried.

I like what you did with the first picture, the graininess is really cool. You look very cool and elegant in the second one. Both silhouettes are to be admired because they are both Tilly!

The second photo looks like you were about to attend an interview. It is unusual to see the warm hearted Tilly without a smile.
