I am a self taught photographer and crossdresser. I began taking pictures of myself in 1996 and early combined the pictures with dressing. While taking pictures, I explore different outfits in different settings. I like the variety both in outfits and types of pictures. Encouragement from publishing my pictures on the web (http://www.flickr.com/photos/idapyl/) helped in the decision to publish my first photo book. All pictures in the book were taken and processed by me - either with the timer, the remote control or by just holding the camera in a hand.
