Laura, you have me taking random photos of myself with my cell phone, now, just to see what I look like. It's an interesting project. Not ready to share, though. <br /><br />I've been sorting through boxes of old photos, and it strikes me that, with photos of my kids, they look completely different based on who the photographer was (my, grandpa 1, grandpa 2, school photographer). There is a very elusive quality in portraiture I'd love to explore more - one of these days.Life In A Skillethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587454419584310523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512812041535041212.post-91118854099845122792010-01-24T21:46:05.878-06:002010-01-24T21:46:05.878-06:00The realism of your photos is what makes them so s...The realism of your photos is what makes them so special--besides your pretty face, of course.<br /><br />I want to know the woman who cuts herself out of every picture.

Thanks so much for the shout-out! I...Hi beautiful,<br />Thanks so much for the shout-out! It made my entire day!!!!!!!!!!! I have gotten the most praise and the most criticism from the picture element of my blog which in itself is truly fascinating to me and a sign that something about it works. I think of it as sort of like seeing a television weathergirl every day -- comforting and reliable. Also, I want people to know what a real woman looks like -- not the photoshopped to death reality that makes everyone feel bad. Plus, I love to be in weird or interesting spots and trying to create a strange art out of it. And posting pictures makes you develop a tough skin which I needed when I started the project so I guess sometimes we seek to do the thing needed for our own good. (This would be rare in my case. :) In relation to your post about pictures, I think the issues are ones of control. I know someone who cuts herself out of almost every picture because she's so critical, leaving the family photo album, well, interesting to say the least. I love the ones of you that you've posted (even the ones here which you deem "bad" and are not!). My favorite picture in the world is of a man in front of a theater marquee showing The Exorcist. He has a huge knife scar on his face and it's twilight and he looks kind of lost and yet firmly entrenched in time. I bought it from my friend Keith, and I never grow tired of looking at it.Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.com
