I really dug your spindly little bootleg jutting out from our pile of junk. It's almost there.
Posted by: Xavier at December 13, 2005 4:09 PMthose photos i've taken have almost single-handedly proven you as a heartbreaker--I am unaccustomedly proud of myself for them. God, you're so stunningly beautiful, my boy. And it’s not just your hair, but I mean: in manner. I won't be able to look at you the same way again after that photo shoot. (!!) Meaning: every time I’m around you now without my camera, a large part of me will be seething with regret, inside tears, for lens, like inside voice, for truer tales. xoxoxo
i mean: take the "edge" photo/post: WHO STANDS LIKE THAT??!!?! you do! fuck you! :DDD
Posted by: caroline at December 13, 2005 4:23 PMYou should try this shot again with more of the bed (that is a bed under there as well, yeah?) in frame and less of the surrounding room - possibly station the camera high enough with a head-on view of the leg. Good texture and detail with the satchel's straps and the coat underneath. I'm not sure what it is about your place, but the lighting always seems BLISTERINGLY yellow, and if you could accentuate the whiteness of the floor around the leg... well... striking.
