2.24.09 - 177/365

in the studioyesterday,
i was going to post 2 versions of my sp
basically because i liked how the lines in my jacket looked


at the last minute
i deleted it,
it felt redundant

today
i am posting 2
because part of this whole process
(not only the sp project
but the entire process of sharing work)
has to do with editing:
why one image makes it over another,
why one painting get chosen.

it helps for me,
to become conscious of my concerns
of why i make choices

between yesterday & today
i see a pattern
i see that i am choosing between "style" and "content"
yesterday i chose content;
the expression, the emotion, being the compelling factor
today i am going with more formal concerns
the framing and the impact
even though
after a long day
the whole of which i was completely nauseated
i felt more like this

in the studio
ultimately i suppose
it's about getting both in the same shot
i believe consciously identifying these things
helps you intuitively find them.
