portraits go boing
if anyone evvvvvvvver wants to model for me please don't be shy to let me know. i'll take mannnnnyyyyy rolls of film of you without hesitation (I will look at it more along the lines of you giving into my deranged needs than you showcasing your no doubt well deserved vanity). i prefer people to nature shots because i feel the former give me more to work with/against, though maybe it's time i get back into scenery as i am learning many interesting things about focus these days and there are many things to see here. anyway. should probably post some scenic shots sometime soon. also i feel a sick need to remind graeme that while he was (and is) away, i have managed to accidently burn a hole into the ass of his pants because i am just that absentminded a woman. by that i mean retardtastic.

also, this song makes me insanely happy when I’m all nail-biting and stuff:

Wow I really like that shot, the blacks and whites are balanced well, I like the dark feeling I get on the right side, but the light hitting his left eye just brightens it up perfectly. I don't know if what I just wrote makes sense. Basically I like the picture :P
Posted by: Steph at July 20, 2006 12:34 PMYour photo philosophy is like that of Dianne Arbus. Who, I am almost 100% sure is probably your hero.
If I was closer, I would whore myself out to your camera on a regular basis. Have always wanted a portfolio of portraits of myself. That's just the kind of egomaniac I am! But I think your technique would only benefit from having to deal with my Slavic cheekbones and other dimensions in my face. LOL.
Oh, and speaking of whoring, I need more music from your collection to steal. I'll give you wierd shit if you give me wierd shit. (That is a solemn promise.)

Posted by: mathew/b at July 20, 2006 5:27 PMoh, diane arbus. one of those hardbound, independent arts magazines had an extensive article about her a few months ago. i pawed it in the store, but didn't buy it because it was what--about 30 dollars?? or was it more. anyway, it was a price high enough that warranted my not buying a publication that contained what it contained in it pages because i felt like eating that day.
you would be really great to photograph, edita. i'd have probably way more fun than i should by designing style/theme shots for you. you had a chance to do so when you were here! oh, the disappointment!
steph!
thank you for taking the time. i really, really like getting those type of critical comments when i post a photo. i like seeing what other people see. :)

ah, well you see: i wasn't the one doubting you.
i was the one inadvertently rhyming all over the place like cowboy poetry put to song.
:D
