pic of the day # something or other…
.. i’ve screwed this whole “post something every day” thing up , but have nonetheless been feverishly working on something or other every day. Except last friday, when i was super-hungover an slept til 4. But I made stuff today. This for instance:
this was very spur of the moment … was in the process of tearing down this sheet (which has actually played a part in a very large number of my photos, usually as a backdrop) into narrow strips to weave into a rope (which will be used in another photo, and no, buying a rope would be too easy and im also a bit insane) and while holding it up , with the window to my back, glanced in the mirror and liked the sillouhette thing going on and decided to try and capture it in a picture..(without the ugly hanging-around-at-home clothes i was wearing)
true story.
see, here’s the rope being made:
sadly i chose probably the most time-consuming method of weaving those strips together (each pile is about 20 meters or more of cloth), after 2 hours i only had 2 meters of rope. Ugh. Why do i insist on being so meticulous? God sometimes i just don’t know. But I suppose i’ll feel really good about having made the damn rope myself when the picture is complete. I hope so because nobody else will ever be able to tell. haha. oh well. I just started on a new drawing , not a quick one but one that’ll end up being really cool and detailed. I should sleep but its calling to me..
And for curiosities sake, here are some other images this sheet has appeared in:
Your photography is wonderful!
