Emo looser?

My radar for emo cheezy-ness is completely broken when it comes to myself.
I have no business in front of a camera,
and whenever I have to deal with anything self portrait related,
I always feel out of my depth.

That being said,
my friend asked for a photo she would put near my artwork on my page
in her book that attempts to collect together un-discovered artists,
she is trying to get published.
(kind of like where you would normally see a bw photo of a artist in a black turtle neck)

I thought i would get artsy with my photo, but perhaps I went too far?
