Was there ever a fashion you made fun of and then wore, or a song you mocked but ended up secretely loving, well this isn’t the same. Its not. I don’t care what you say. Seriously, I think that selective color can work sometimes, it just has been a little overused in certain segments of the photography world.
I thought this one felt like it needed a little more seperation, and some reference to the era, but I might have gotten a little heavy handed, which I have been known to do.
WOW. I hadn’t seen the first one. You Schindlered it up just right.
I want to make fun of you for caving into your ideals, but I swore when their first album came out that I would never like Weezer, because they were “too poppy.” Then I gave in. Now that they have been revealed as crushingly boring, I hate myself.
gorj, you heard that whiny rivers cuomo demo shiz? lord have mercy. i don’t think i would have digged that even when i was in my whiny 20s.
i like those pictures, wah. both of them, but especially the 1st, for reasons that are more prurient than aesthetic.
I’ve photographed people before where I wouldn’t worry about them being offended by your “prurient” comment because they wouldn’t know what it meant, but in the case of this model I’m just going to hope she takes it as a compliment.
Were the entirety of your 20s whiny?
I realize, looking at the first picture, that I really like freckles.
There does seem to be something amazingly commercial about using selective color, which isn’t to say that I think its bad. I just can’t seem to get past thinking that both of these are advertisements for something. Which might, in one sense, be very complimentary: “hey Wah, your stuff looks so professional that I imagine someone paid you bunches of money to create it.” Though I suspect that isn’t exactly the kind of artistic compliment that you want.
I didnt realize it was selective color…I thought she was just pale. What is all that? Is that an eagle with a dog fighting a wizard? Am I close? Maybe I need to recalibrate my monitor.
