141/365 # Are you ready . . . to party?
Don't you love it when you have an idea and it works like you wanted it to?
I've had this shot planned since the middle of the week as a way to sign off my latest mini-series (t-shirts with the words on them mixed up to make meanings and stuff . . . bit long-winded innit?).
I took this shot in my parent's back garden. They have a security light above the back door, and it occurred to me on the bus to work the other day (it's where I get my best ideas) that the light would probably give off enough brightness to get a decent ghetto lit shot . . . and it did! I took a fair few shots but this was my favourite - yes, I'm admitting I like this shot.
The message on the shirt today is: Party! Just because it's Friday so I thought I'd throw a bit of joviality into the mix. It's meant to contrast with my facial expression, which isn't in a party mood by the look of it. It's all about juxtaposition. Honest.
The title of the shot is a quote from Friends, in the episode where Ross and Chandler are going to meet their mate Gandalf? And Chandler asks Ross if he's ready to party? And Ross isn't sure, and then Chandler says "Are you ready . . . to party?" in a really hysterical way? Trust me, it's hilarious.
I almost feel like I've got my mojo back now, the last couple of shots have come out alright and that makes a lot of difference to my state of photographing mind. It was really, really cool today to go through the day knowing I had a shot planned, and even better when I tried it and the plan worked!
More music for you to listen to (should you want to of course):
It's been all about Machine Head for me this week, so as well as the song I linked to on day 139 I'd like to direct you towards a couple more of their albums. Namely Through The Ashes Of Empires (the link takes you to the first song from the album, Imperium), and The More Things Change . . . - this link takes you to the first track from this album, Ten Ton Hammer.
Don't listen to it if you like Coldplay . . .
