Self Portrait



Had a blast yesterday doing a self portrait.  I broke a lot of the "rules"of photograpy and loved every minute of it.  Here is the result:

Partial Silhouette

Today I began working on silhouettes. This is a partial silhouette and, for some reason, I really like it.

Stuckiness

OMG! Did I give the impression I get depressed while stuck? Oh my, no...that is definitely not the case. In fact, every month (at least once a month), I get stuck. And, every month I confront this happening knowing that "this too shall pass" and when it does there will be something new in its place. This stuckiness (my word which is not currently in the dictionary) is crucial to the work. Without it, I would never strive to improve. So, I welcome stuckiness.

Thank you Steve Gallow for sending a link to the talk on creativity. Creativity is such a vast subject with many turns and variations. How exciting it all is! Thank you, thank you.


Moving right along...here is this morning's fun. Emma is a star. And...stars need head shots. This morning Emma went for her GLAM head shot and here is the choice (so far):

Sepia Silhouette Portraits

After playing around today with my silhouetted self-portrait, I had Bob pose and the first image is the result in sepia. The second image is my self-portrait converted to sepia tones.
