Out of the box

Doing an online course.  The module on light calls for "a revealing self portrait rather than the usual happy snap ... . This self portrait should ... say something about the person that you are or would like to be.  There are no rules ... . This is your opportunity to make a portrait, without having to worry about the approval of the sitter."  So this is my 'would like to be' portrait—the hat has not seen the light of day for a very long time!
