My life lately seems to be dealing with all these family "dramas". So I'm trying to get away from everyone in my family and just let them all deal with their own issues while I just try and live life.Of course this is easier said then done when I'm for the first time in my whole life the "rock" of the family (scary thought). So no matter how many times I try to avoid the phone when it rings (thank God for caller ID). The phones still ring at home and at work.Then the emails start,so I have to deal with sooner or later.My sanity is on the brink of breaking though.So I turn to what saves me, making images. So I have found lately that nice walks in the early evening are what I do to stay calm and exercise so I should combine.So starting next week I will do a series called "portraits in the park" ( Actually not my own idea, so I can't take credit). I will let everyone know what time and where and if you happen to want to stop by for a portrait (in full costume, with pet, family, anything) there I will be.Just in case strangers wont let me shoot them at first. I have noticed though when they see a few people do it then they feel more at ease to let a stranger take their photo.This will be new to me as I normally don't ask I just shoot.But since this is portraits I kind of need people to pose.Which is also new to me, posing people.This will be an execrise in patience for me as well.I shoot loads of film ,really fast and tend to waste. So this will be more of a "planned"out, controlled experiment. Maybe even I will be able to get it all posted on my new upcoming website that I am planning.That is the other project, a site that has this site as well as a place to show my work and a few other things. All being worked on as i write this out.
So for now we'll see how the portraits go. If anyone has any ideas for other projects that they think would be good, let me know,maybe we could collaborate.
