tagged [but in a kind of 'different' way!]
the wonderful and talented pomegranacat:

laid a tag on me this morn.
a wee bit different from the regular 'ten things about you' gig.
just grab a cam, take an sp, upload and choose several other victims to tag.
i think it's a 'candid' or 'this is really you' vibe.
i bloody hate sp's and you should all know this by now.
but i thought i would groove with the 'tag' vibe, though with a twist.
i instantly knew wanted a real close macro of my eyes, and i want to 'mat' frame top and bottom. you know the score, the 'cinemascope' mat.
i grabbed the camera, walked outside into the sunshine and pointed the damn thing at myself. which i detest.
from about 24 shots, i had one useable.
when i started to work with the shot in cs3, i began to think about the enormous capability software processing [and of course darkroom technique] gives us to visually 'lie'. to pictorially dissemble.
to play 'let's pretend'.
even with images of ourselves.
or should that be 'especially' with images of ourselves?
we edit. we choose. we process. we select. we censor.
we control absolutely how much we give of ourselves 'visually' to others, and we control exactly how visually 'truthful' these images are.
i will not bore by extending the discussion, so i will end here.
three treatments. same image. three moods. three levels of visual veracity. none telling the actual truth.
of course i felt entirely uncomfortable uploading the cyanotype and sharpened 'old' image!! i feel it makes me look awful!
but i thought i must. as an indicator as to the sheer breadth of visual untruth we are capable of creating using image processing software.
just a little thought stream.
may be worthy of further examination and further questions.
thank you astra. most enjoyable. honoured that you tagged me.
best to thee. best to thee all.
