HNT - Darth Unmasked Out-takes

I thought I'd slap up another "out-takes" HNT, this one from what turned out to be a pretty popular series of HNT shots, with a fun little tale about a battle between myself and Darth Tater. I'd originally done a single shot of myself unmasking Darth Tater, playing on the unmasked as half-nekkid. That single shot immediately inspired a story that turned into a continuing series that I managed to stretch out for almost half a year.

As I'd mentioned last week, I've taken most of the HNT shots I've posted over the past year or so myself, without a tripod or a timer, and thus I often get a lot of out-takes where I didn't quite get the shot I was hoping for. I think I took 5 pictures for the Tater unmasked shot I finally used in THIS POST, and here are two of the ones I didn't use. (Yes, it's summer, so forgive me for posting re-runs)

In this one, I liked the shot of my hand holding the mask, and Darth's body, but the look on my face was a bit too stunned & goofy

This one I got the right look on my face, but Darth's bodyand the mask are cut-off too short

(Yes, a reminder that there are less than 24 hours left in the "I, Death" character auction to raise funds for literacy - you too can be killed by Peter O'Mallick's death curse with the winning bid. Current bid is only $75 Canadian. What an awesome deal for a chance to read about your own murder. Or, purchase a "friend of Peter O'Mallick" t-shirt at the Cafe Press Deathshop, and I'll donate profits from each sale to the Hamilton Literacy Council.)
