george:
How is your summer going?
me:
hothot hot! haha
george:
:0)
me:
looking for new projects to do, and trying to stay cool. how are you doing?
george:
Haven't started looking for work...still getting photos in order...Can't wait to begin some new projects though. Lots of ideas...Doing well...just starting to dig the summer.
me:
yeah, i'm thinking about a few portrait projects as well. just have to pick a few and develop them out. shoot some photos and lay them out to see if it's worth it or not. the summer has been great so far, just to be able to enjoy the heat.
i love the heat. hah
george:
C. Bay...do you have any advice on taking portraits? It's a BIG question...but maybe you have a photographer I can check out for inspiration?
me:
haha, no i always love conversations about photography. for me, a portrait is not only the image you're making.
it's an opportunity to really make a connection with a person.
i think that it's in pursuit of making these connections, which is something that we always strive to do in our daily lives...make connections, that drives me to make portraits...and make them as real and as intimate as possible.
now, this doesn't always mean that this sense of intimacy has to be resultant in an image of a nude. but i do think that my portraits, as well as my nude portraits are trying to convey that yearning for a connection. so, when i make a portrait of someone, i'm looking to have an opportunity to make a connection, and then the image that results from that connection is a visual record of that interaction. does that make sense?
george:
Blog worthy quote right there. I may quote you so be warned. And just so you know...I agree!
me:
photography is the conduit through which i can breach that threshold that we come to at times, the line where we have to make the decision whether we are brave enough to take a chance to get to know somebody. haha.
yeah, i may just use this as a blog post.
george:
:0)
me:
but yes, this is how i feel most of the time
