So...I did a set on Friday with Boyd-aka Visions of Excess. We got some really amazing stuff from the concept which I based upon my current emotions. The concept is rather dark for something coming from my mind, but these are my emotions... they aren't always pretty.Lately, I feel like I've been on the edge. On the brink between drowning and finally coming up for air. As if once I finally get that breath of air, my head's going to be
pushed under the water again and it's going to be harder and harder to get up again.This translates into real life to a lot of things not working out for me as of late- the grad school bit, the summer fellowship gig, having to move back in with my parents, having to settle for being single. It gets really tough to keep your head up when you keep getting knocked down. It was bringing me to a bad place and that's why I had to do this shoot- to get that darkness out. It was clouding my vision and not letting me see straight or look toward
the future. Now that this set is done, I think I can look ahead and leave those dark emotions in that bathtub. I watched them go down the drain with the water. Ask Andi or Boyd about my mood after the shoot- there was a big change, as if a load had been lifted off my shoulders.Normally, I don't mix my emotive blogs with my photo blog, but I think it's necessary in this case so you can truely understand these pictures. Enjoy and feel free to comment. By the way, the last
image of the bunch is the one that came to mind when I got this idea. I normally don't choose favorites, but it's totally the shot that I wanted.
