(no subject)
It's no little known fact that I tend to over photograph myself. It is no doubt a strong indication that I am extremely insecure about myself. Allright now that I've gotten that out... I'd like to express my confusion about just how different photos can be. I can take pictures two or three different times in a day, yet in some I look young, some I look older, and some are just lucky shots that somehow come out warm and cute. What's a camera anyways?
The last post contains a picture I believe to be a very young look. I don't even recognize the "kid" in the photo.
This is a picture that I DO think looks like me... right down to the rugged "I'm almost 24" stress lines that illustrate just what a rough life I like to cause myself to have. I always have red eye and I almost always glisten with what genetics has give me...oily BUT dry... irritably dry skin.
Now here is a picture that I tried to make come out good... naturally... where I'm using my cat Gert (yes hes cuter than this) as a prop. I never smile in pictures but I did a session where I did nothing but smile. I was suprized that I don't really recognize the person in the photo just like the kid one. I don't understand how the camera can be so versatile in capturing what is physically here. It's just too out there for me to comprehend I guess.
The three photos (one being in the previous post) don't look like the same person to me.... regardless of the oh so fabulous "i've never plucked or trimmed them" eyebrows. If there is one thing I'm proud to have inherited... it's those bitchy expression aides.
I guess this was sparked becuse I watched America's Next Top Model... where Brittany, a Tallahassee local... was on the show. It is one thing to know someone in real life... it's completely different to see them act the same on tv. I'll admit... she looked totally hot in her photos... but I don't see the attraction for her as a person. Photography is amazing and I would very much love to learn allll about it. It's just so confusing to me.... it's the attainable, but unknown.
