Lighting and Portrait Challenge

I've been a fan of Boybarian Dad's blog for a while. Recently he and I starting chatting back and forth about photography and pushing ourselves creatively. Well, one thing led to another and we decided to set an assignment for ourselves. Starting today, we have one week to make an image that will be posted on our respective blogs next Monday. The parameters that we've laid out are: self portrait, at night, single flash, city in the background. Given that this is my idea of a self portrait, things could get interesting.

If any of you want to play along, post your images next Monday and drop a link in the comments.
