You really like Macro photography, don't you?

Well I am into this strobist thing now and it's sorta hard to practice portraiture when no one wants to give their time to be photographed.
So after watching taken last night I decided to venture out into the forest that is my garden.
I need someone that will sit or stand in one place while I set my lights and all for the right effect but the only being I could find to do that is this guy, since spidey is dead.

IN OTHER WORDS
I want to do portrait photos but no one is willing to help. So I only do weird self-portraits that I don't really want to post cause I shall reveal my secret identity.

Self portraits on the Internet are No-no! Why don't you get your mom or someone to pose? Capturing age and wisdom is also an art!
