eating atoms

Aug 19, 2009 13:49

I am currently remedying one frustration that follows me.  I am so busy running my own business and performing that I then find myself without pictures and videos of any of it.  And when I really need them, of course, they're not there.  It's not that I don't have access to brilliant photographers, but that's the easy part once you find yourself regularly in the company of creative people.  Not as hard is coming up with the money.  Harder is finding a photographer that is available or even available when you need them.

I can schedule a photo shoot... but what of?  I have a myriad of ideas.  I need a few good headshots definitely.  I need photos and video of me singing, acting, dancing, and so forth.  Then I go back to how much money is needed to get all of these, which I don't have.  I'm a professional photographer myself, though I lack a studio and a high quality camera.  Despite that, I have done many photoshoots for people and products and very natural field photos of sports events and private events.  I've done quite a bit of character and natural-emotion modeling (very opposites - in that one is very clear of what it wants to show you, and the other doesn't know it's being shown).  Never did a photoshoot for myself though.

I need to start somewhere though.  So I decided to set my camera on my table and video myself dancing.  And then I stopped.  Because what I don't want that to get on youtube and it be mistaken for an uninteresting visual of a self-deluded, amature with a webcam - because that's what it will probably look like.  I did it anyway though.  For myself.  Just out of curiosity.

I need more full body shots though.  It's as if all I have is a face that smiles and a middrift.  Which makes me laugh. Cuz little do they know...that's all I have and the rest doesn't exist.  The rest is just a projection I make out of my neck and out of my hips.  I traveled into the future and saw how they do that and then came back and made it happen.  Cuz why do I need all that extra weight.  And when I can consume atoms for my meat through my smile and middrift and never be hungry again.  Oh man.  The future is awesome.

If you are a photographer or videographer who's interested in working with a very dynamic and open-minded person, please shoot me.  with your camera gun. i need it.  Meanwhile, I will contact a photo-friend of mine to see when she's available.

I'm off to eat my blueberries and atoms.
