Dear Sweet Jesus In The Morning. Every time I get a camera out I want to produce some kind of image that exults the person in front of the lens. I have delusions of grandeur that should bring a giggle to everyone. Let's make it ART! Let's make it something AMAZING! NOBODY has ever seen THIS! LOL. Honestly, the best things, every time, are the things that teeter on the edge of total failure. I've posted before about my inadvertent adventure up the poop chute of the internet, a hidden backdoor I found that basically bypasses Patreon (and other) passwords and has let me wander freely through the posts from my favorite photographers. Best. Ego Boost. Ever. Honestly, I miss my mark nine times out of ten. I get all caught up in the moment, totally forget what I'm trying to achieve, am often overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of what's transpiring in front of me....sidebar: my cooking resembles this a LOT. I start out aiming for traditional mole and end up with a sort of Thai peanut sauce for all the same reasons! And maybe that's OK. I just adore my friend Floofie. She is gracious and kind and multifaceted and never fails to surprise me. This image isn't shocking, it doesn't "push an edge"....but it's honest and beautiful and captures a mood. Floofie has come along with me through a whole bunch of phases of MY development and I've seen HER be both a calm center and go through a lot of changes. Maybe most important, I've never felt afraid to fail and so I've tried a lot of stupid ideas when working with her. What an amazing gift of confidence that is. And sometimes it's not about the edges. It's about the moment and the mood and just being comfortable with each other. Thanks, Floof!
