Out on a Limb...

Ok, here it goes...I'm not super comfortable with this post, but I decided to put myself out there. Literally. Putting myself in front of the camera is something I rarely do, especially if it is just because and not for a quick snapshot in a group setting. This week the two creative workshops that I participate in gave some really good, challenging assignments. The prompt for The Sunday Creative is raw and the This is Who I am workshop is all about hair flips. Well, the week is almost over for my hair flip assignment and I just didn't have the time to get a model, so I thought I'd try it myself and use my handy dandy remote. As for the word prompt raw, these pictures just fit the prompt for me. Part of the definition of raw is, changed little from the original form; not processed; not trained or experienced. Well, in these pictures, I am changed little from my original form, no makeup, hair just as it is (and a bad hair day at that) and my everyday chore clothes. Nor am I an experienced photographer, one short high school photography class is all the 'training' I've had...These photos are a little darker and have more grunge to them than my typical photography. They are a little more abstract and dream like, I guess dark and grunge also came to mind for the word raw...

So, this is me...raw...flipping my hair...putting myself out there...
