These are not as well done as they could have been. I got into my favourite dance duds, ran upstairs when the house was quiet, set up a tripod, dashed and posed on the timer a few times, grabbed the tripod, and headed back downstairs to my underground abode. I could have asked, I guess, when my landlord was going to be out, but then I'd have to admit I was 'taking photos for a self portrait marathon' - and who wants to admit a thing like that? Okay, so they're blurry. Sorry. And the bookcase smack behind me, well, some clone stamping, and viola! Gone for all intents and purposes! Okay, so I had to blur the background over the vanished books with an impressionist brush, put a spotlight or so on each figure to make them visible... shucks, I'm only tryin'! I am posting these with the affirmation that I will make my final self portrait out of them by Saturday. In storage I have a large 8' x 5' mirror that I practice poetry/dance performance pieces before, dang if I can manifest one of those mirrors before the ending of the marathon - hence the camera. And I will write a prose poem too... (please tell me I'm silly, because really I am :).

Lovely. Something about doing it quickly, perhaps - your body a few quick strong strokes on the camera lense, like the quick strong strokes of a zen painting.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking, if you landlord has heard a noise and come out... :-)
I think you are creative and bold, not silly. Or if it is silliness, then it's a silliness I aspire to.

ReplyDeleteConsidering how they were done, probably took all of 5 minutes, even I'm surprised... Gideon wasn't home, I don't think, but he could have walked in the door at any moment. Not that he would have minded; it was just me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jean, Mary and narrator...
(& still silly :)

Chuck, oh ho! I'll remember that! Silliness every day, yes, and experts braying munching at hay, oh wonderful, I say!
