Day 30 of 365 days.
And the third day of my attempt to Bring Sexy Back. First of all, I am absolutely totally astounded that I made it this far, and remarkably I don’t even want to quit. Even though there are days like today when I just don’t really feel like putting energy into it. I spent most of the day working on a different creative project. Then I realized I still needed to not only snap a picture, but due to my own self challenge it needed to be sexy. I decided I’d just snap a pic with a towel on as i got out of the shower. Boring I know, but whatever, they can’t all be winners. Then as a random aside, Pi C’s suggested that maybe it’d be cool if I drew a sexy portrait and that got me thinking. I have this idea for a digital drawing self-portrait that I’m going to do down the line, and maybe I could use this as an opportunity to test a couple techniques. So here we go.
It kind of harkens back to my old Photosketches a bit.
I actually do have something a little more substanative planned for tomorrow. We’ll see if I get to it or not.
The good thing about doing 365 shots is that a simple snapshot can suffice on a non-creative day. And simple snapshots can benefit from an interesting angle at the very least, if not a little bit of post-processing.
We could even have a "Bad Snapshot" day or week, taking intentionally bad photos as an homage to all of our shoeboxes (or CDs) full of early work as kids with our first (cheap) camera.
I can force my 20D to take bad photos…!
love the cross hatch type effect… i read your challenge but lately i feel like if i brought sexy back it would only be long enough to kick it in the jewels for confusing me
ha! jessie donaster…i’m feelin’ you on that comment…but i’m trying it anyway. as a mom i don’t get to spend much time "feelin sexy" (though chris tells me i am all the time…he’s good like that!)
