And now i’m just sad.

I’ve posted even more photos on my other blog: http://garychapple.tumblr.com/
NOW WITH SEXY STEELY SEXINESS!
I would love it if you followed me there, in a non-steely way. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I found it difficult to balance speed and light. Also, my hair pretty much has no colour.

I love the sun. I was taking photos at the Beaches in Toronto, and did a self-portrait with me bathing in the (fading winter) sun. It was still brght enough i could barely open my eyes, though i started laughing trying. I love the sun, but don’t look directly at it.

Which is worse, being too anxious to book a vacation by yourself, or not having anyone to vacation with?

I think my degree-of-camera-angle deviation is more than Danny wanted to allow, but for me the most challenging direction to obey was ‘only face and a bit of neck)— I tend to rely heavily on a shoulder, hand, object…

Guest-Directed Self-Portrait #21, directed by sexartandpolitics (“Take a picture of your face. The camera should be straight on but slight deviation is acceptable. You can’t put your hand in the frame or use a prop. Be as done up or plain as you like. Use whatever expression you like. But the only things in the shot can be your head and some neck.”)
Okay, i was up until past 3 last night, and just woke up. I don’t think my face is usually so assymetrical - i’m thinking it’s because i slept mostly on my right side. I may take another when i’m fully awake, heh.

218/909 (GDSP 19: dance your joy)
I have been stumped by this prompt for months (and I am not happy with this picture, but I’m afraid I’ll remain stuck forever if I don’t just accept it and go to then next—I can always try it again in the future). Last night a man on the street was selling plastic blinky LED tambourines, and at that moment, I thought “maybe I can ‘dance my joy’”… it didn’t work as well as I hoped.
Love the colours.

Seeing candid photos of yourself can be depressing.
