So this FB post will sound like a rant but it truly isnt because when I go to bed tonight, I will feel a minor accomplishment. Throughout the last half of this year Ive done a few things I consider out of-the-box for me. From walking out of my job to online dating. Small to some, big for me. And frankly the online dating thing is quite ridiculous with all the shirtless pics taken in bathrooms sent to me. DELETE! Among all this Im in school, officially a Photography major for my Associates degree. For my final portfolio my subject is....me. And while I havent figured out the direction, portfolio photography, especially photographing myself, is a step Id be proud to complete. I think mostly because I feel weird photographing myself. I used tonight to shoot some test shots, 4-6 as a work in progress, and the big plan in my head, that took 2.5 hours to set up, started to fail. I wanted to incorporate myself in fashion over the past few decades. The 60s, 70s and maybe to now. Upon doing my mod makeup I started to sweat. Which didnt turn out mod, just muddy. In trying to give myself a 60s hairstyle, its too long and looked like an Eagles helmet. Thankful, it gets cut this week. Bouncing from room to room and trying to get my purple walls to cast more of a white back drop with sheets and blankets, I stubbed both big toes and tore the tights I JUST took out of the package. I added a glass of wine with the empty bottle and a Marshall Tucker album. Do not ask where my idea is for this. Anyway, the album wouldnt stand up and try as may, the damn wine seemed to hide from every shot. In the end, I tossed on sweats, drank my props and tomorrow is a new night. And the accomplishment? I got about 4 shots to preset for ideas. :D
