i haven't had much to say and i haven't had cause to whip my camera out and snap a few shots of this or that. i guess i could just kind of force myself to, but i subscribe to the belief that if you force something you love, to do it becomes a job and therefore no longer a joy to do...
however, according to scritti politti:
...Careless talk costs more than you bargained for
In seventh heaven
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly baby
it's true, i shouldn't be self-conscious about the things that i do, if i do them well or not. it's all a part of creating, isn't it?
anyway i have been working on a few poems and working on my 3rd publication...actually, if i were to count it properly it would be my 6th or 7th publication...ms.'d opportunities being my most professional endeavor. anyway this last will be a showcase for my shutterbug tendencies and my poetic prowess. some of the poetry in the book i will pull from other projects. i'm thinking maybe 20 poems and 20 photos, snaps and otherwise.
speaking of snaps - i had my photos done last week. let me tell you they came out fabulous. it took 2 days and about 5 outfit changes, including in the buff (to a point), to finish. it was fun not being the one to give the directions. i tried to remember everything i taught my models about posing and i was completely unsuccessful. i don't take direction well, i was stiff or the first 10 or 15 shots. i laugh too much and i always want to put my hands on my hips. ha!
so i include one of the shots i like a lot. it's odd and, of course, there are literally hundreds more to choose from, but i like this one a lot. if you want to see more...then sucks to be you! =D
