Self Portrait Tuesday: Reflective Surface # 3
Posted on | December 20, 2005 | 9 Comments
I posted a different spt last night, but this morning, fickle as I am, I liked this one better. The artist in me is somehow unused to the fixed dynamic of a photo. I want to keep coming back and changing things, like I can with a brush.
When I woke up this morning, the fork and spoon reflections seemed brittle compared with this surreal image. I love the color of it, and the blur—how only the corner of the label is in focus, and my finger is pointing to some blue angle of light picked up by the lens, as though gesturing to a dream. I like how the reflection shows mostly my hand reaching, and then my dark silhouette. Somehow this is a truer self portrait: there I am, reaching for the things that can hardly be defined.

I love your thought process. I probably would have changed things around too until I felt settled so-to-speak. I love all the images. What a great eye you have.

All are nice though!
