As you (all 3 of you…if you’re still out there) may have noticed, I’ve been busy lately. I’ve been so busy that I’ve been processing/publishing portraits in batches. I post them here now – with a zen-like focus and peace – as an affirmation of my commitment to this project and this process. I realize massive posts like this aren’t really representative of high-quality web publishing, good housekeeping, or legitimate blogging, but I don’t exactly give a shit either. Let’s get to it:
Day Two hundred and nine: A busy week.
A few iPhone shots have snuck into my 365 project, but given that the camera on the 3GS represents a drastic improvement over previous generations, I’ve joined the bandwagon calling it a legitimate camera.
After all, the best camera is the one you’ve got with you.
Also: another symptom of a 365 artist short on time (besides toothbrush shots – which are one of my specialities): the mirror shot!
Day Two hundred and eight: Living in a fisheye lens*
*not actually a fisheye lens
Day Two hundred and seven: Wanted: Good lighting
You can’t always get what you want.
True story: I was at a bar mitzvah party in middle school, and a very pretty girl made it known that she fancied me. Lucky for me, I felt the same way, and was not bashful about sharing. I even danced with her middle school style (you know: arms outstretched, finger tips on fire as my hands rested on her waist – her waist!!).
However, after the apparent magic of the party faded into silent memory and we returned the real world (AKA school), the girl was suddenly much less responsive, and my feelings were much less requited. By lunch time, half the school had heard the explanation for her change of heart: bad lighting. That’s a quote, mind you.
Among my close friends from that era, this is an oft-told story, and – for me – the phrase “bad lighting” will forever carry a special, melancholy meaning.
But, the universe has a way of righting itself. I’m pretty sure she ended up a fat chick. And I’m in love.
