Buck Naked entry 6 - 'Black & White'

'For 6th challenge of Buck Naked, we were asked to make artistic image using black and white photography. For my Challenge, I have chosen to recreate the image of 'The Thinker' by Rodin. This piece reminds me of myself at times as I often tend to overthink and keep me from letting thinking overwhelm all decisions.'

Mere moments after I learned of the challenge, I had an inspiration and I submitted it less than 3 hours after the results post for the 5th challenge was up. XDD I mean - who better to act like a statue then a Gargoyle? Once I found the angle & posed him as I wanted, I grabed some packing material and a black t-shirt to cover it. If I'd given myself more time then I'd have made the rock more seperate from the backround so there was an actual floor instead of just t-shirt, but overall I was too pleased with as is to mess with it too much. Sometimes overthinking ruins lovely moments so I, for once, just went with my gut. And you know what? it was the right call.

 

(not to mention - easiest wardrobe yet! ;3 )
