The Self We See

Image PeepSideshow Darkward8 Comments

How do we define ourselves? Is it by our jobs, our affiliations, our family? Or is it something we see when we look in the mirror? Or when we look inside ourselves?

This week’s prompt for Single Frame Stories is “Self”. I have decided that this week I’m going to do more than one photo of my interpretation of Self. I don’t think I can truly show myself as I see me with a single picture. So I plan on having more than one entry this week.

This version is the Self I would like to be – elegant, sophisticated, beautiful.

No, I would never believe this to be how I truly define myself. But it’s a version I can aspire to become. And dream of being when I drift off to sleep, a small sigh escaping my perfectly curved lips.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Above – A Bird’s Eye View

This week’s Weekly Photo Challenge is to take a photo from a different perspective – from above. I must say, I spent a lot of time today looking around some amazing places in Second Life, trying to find a shot from above that I thought would be something special. Alas, I was still trying to find the perfect location when it was time to go to work at Breaking The Rules. I hosted my shift, then was hanging out for a while, thinking I needed to go find something for this challenge.

For some reason, I cammed up, and when I looked down, there was the BTR logo in the middle of the dance floor. It was around 2:30am PST (that’s Second Life time), and there were still several people in the club. I snapped off a few shots, threw in a couple of effects, et voila! A bird’s eye view of Breaking The Rules 🙂

I Failed :(

My dear friend Tylar recently updated her look. She asked me to redo her photos, telling me her new look was “harder and bitchier.” So, I went into this photo shoot trying to reflect that change.

Sighs. I couldn’t do it. What I see in Tylar is her caring heart, her ability to always make me smile or laugh and her amazing generosity. I’ve said before I consider myself to be a “mood” photographer. I try to portray what I see in the person I am photographing. And no matter what I did, I couldn’t see past her beauty – inside and out.

I’m going to do a gallery so that I can put up a few photos of her new look without clogging the page. Please feel free to click on the thumbnails to see a larger version.
