Not a conventional choice to do portraits with wide angle. If you like stuf like that you should have a look at Platon (photographer, uk). He does celebrities with wide angle and really mastered it quite well where the distortion works wonders.

That's a really interesting shot Sean - well done. I'm glad you are asimpressed with the 10-22mm as I am. For a1.6sensorSLR it's the ultimate landscape lens but obviously it works well as a portrait lens. It's definately my favourite little lens at the moment.
Re: Self-Portrait using the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5
I think this lens will be the lens I pull out of my bag when I just want to have fun. Also, when I'm doing senior portraits, I can pull it out and give the customer a [distorted] perspective that they're simply not going to get from a studio. Something fun and different--crucial differentiation in a growing (and sometimes crowded) photography market.

You could give them that "the Dog" look.

If this is your definition of a messy kitchen, I should be embarassed

Well, the parts of it that you can see in the photo aren't as bad as usual. However, generally speaking, I don't invite people into my apartment because I'm quite embarrassed at how I've let it go (like the fact that I don't have enough room for my clothes in my closet and drawers--so about half my clothes are folded and on top of the couch). I figure I'll get better organized...right before I move out or something. ;-)

Well, at least they're folded. [:P]

Just took a shot of Amber today with the new Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5. I absolutely love the distortion you can create with a close subject.

COOL! I could really see that look on graduation invitations ora quirky wedding announcement photo in the paper.
How hard is it to keep your feet out of the pics?
Re: Self-Portrait using the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5
It's not a huge problem unless you're looking straight down (as I was in that shot). I was actually standing on a foldable stool so I could get that angle.
