"Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are." Quentin Crisp
This photo was inspired by this image: www.flickr.com/photos/sydstralia/4780224440/in/faves-5335.... Ever since I saw that, I've been wondering if it was just for fun or if she was trying to make some kind of statement. I've wanted to experiment with the effect and today's challenge seemed tailor made. (lol...a clothing pun). I've never considered myself particularly fashionable. Give me a pair of blue jeans and I'm a happy camper! Seriously...I could wear them every day of my life...and I practically do. I wonder when I'll be considered too old to do that... At any rate, here's the extent of my knowledge about fashion. It's fluid and fickle and too much attention to it can make a person rather vapid (my interpretation of the empty frame). Best to learn who you are and be content with that, because trying to keep up with the latest trend is a losing battle.
This is my first attempt at any kind of photo effect. How'd I do? Suggestions welcome. I'm wondering if I should have closed down a few stops so more of the contents of the frame would be in focus. Can't decide and didn't shoot any like that. No time to play. Opinions?
Rerunning this for Cliche Saturday: Fake photo effect scavenger hunt
