February 07


It's 1:30AM and I'm wired as usual.  Seems my natural sleeping hours gravitate to 3AM to Noon.  Took some photos earlier, of myself, just of my feet and some heels I have.

Playing with the contrast of my pale legs and white shoes on the red wall behind my bed, and the shadows I cast on the wall.  I love taking pictures, stuck with no other model than myself, I just shot what I could of me.  I managed to take some of my own head too, not just the toes... <laugh>

I even managed to get them mostly in focus!

Hey, that's no mean feat when handling the camera and posing at the same time, on a bouncy surface, like the bed, when you have a crappy camera like mine.  Actually it's not a bad camera, but could definitely use a better one considering how many pictures I take in the course of a week, hundreds and hundreds!

This simple little shoe and foot gallery actually ended up quite big, and I was quite pleased with it.

I particularly have fun with the simple shapes of feet and shoes, and take delight just in the sensual lines.  I also had fun making shadow shapes and cut out forms (can *you* spot the big red flaccid penis in the picture directly above? sure you can!).  I acutally take great delight, with my artists eye, in composing phallic objects and vaginal shapes in a lot of my photography.  If you look back over previous entries, you'll see what I mean.  It's often there, if you look for it.  Most of been the influence of that corny 'subliminal advertising' book I read back in my teens.

Well, that's it for me, I'm going to try and be somewhat sensible, and get some sleep, maybe I won't sleep in till 2pm tomorrow like I did today!
