Two

Two


Something struck me as I was working on this entry, I have done very few experiments with tools outside of the camera to create pictures. Which largely inspired this creation. It reminds me a bit of when I did a self-portrait in graphite and chose to frame it in an unusual manner, mainly to draw attention to it amongst the sea of entries. I received some harsh criticism from my professors for it, but it was worth it. Live and learn. Anyway, this particular framing is much different than the self portrait in graphite, the inspiration came from thoughts on how symmetrical faces are largely regarded as attractive. Initially I intended to create such an image, but decided on simply dividing it with black lines to cause the viewer to consider each side separately.

It's funny because when I first looked at the photo, I thought it WAS two seperate photos, lol. Good thinking! Oh...and about that unusual framing....:P
