Getting ready to start my veggie seeds, can you imagine me gardening? I bet most of my friends can't. Going to be digging a gardening plot at my sister's place, possibly this weekend, that should be a good 2 day project. I'll also be planting some stuff in pots on my balcony.
My alter ego on the right there has pretty crap posture, man no wonder my back gets sore.
9 dirty hippies blowing your mind:
ok thats weird. the pic, not you gardening. everyone should develop a green thumb. especially since weed will be legal soon.
good lord, not content to be self-obsessed with just one image of yourself now you have spawned a clone! ;-)
ha...nice one. No, actually these were taken as a test in anticipation of taking some photos and applying a similar treatment to them for Tyler over at the Doors pub. I wanted to make sure I could accomplish the effect he wants. These were knocked off quick, but it seems that indeed I can. Personally, I find these photos very ugly of me...they merely served a purpose. I have many much better ones in my bucket to self-obsess over!!
i wonder, my dear, if there isn't a secret moment in your life where you planted a big lipsticky kiss on yourself in the mirror!
the effect came out swell, tho -- looks genuine, really.
ok now you are just being gross...I honestly spend a lot less time thinking about and looking at myself than you might think... This is all nonsense for my blog...my online presence, my somewhat artificial self...I mean, on a day to day basis its a fortunate thing if I even brush my hair! And a big lipsticky kiss? As you can see in these photos... and in a good majority of my other ones, I don't often even wear much makeup!
I had no idea you thought I was such a self-centered and vacuous creature! Surely you know better.
now-now .. i am just teasing you because there IS a narcissistic streak that runs through your blog -- you ARE pretty obsessed with your own self-image, there's no denying it!! i don't know that it makes you vaccuous or self-centered, tho. i DO sometimes wonder if you have a painted portrait of yourself stashed behind the couch that grows old while you do not, and the constant self-portraits are affirmation that you are not showing signs of aging!!
funny, but I think all personal blogs are narcissistic by the very nature of being a personal blog, no? It's kind of the lazy man's diary.
anyway, my use of myself in images is truly less pitiful and less self-obsessive than constant self affirmation on the lack of aging (though it IS hella cool that I seem to be a vampire in that respect come to think of it)... I like to take photos and I am the easiest person for me to take photos of as I am always ready when the urge strikes! Hey, I've tried to get others to pose for me...everyone is so damn self-conscious whereas I pretty much don't mind looking the fool.
Anyway, undoubtedly you are not the only person who believes my photographic motivations are narcissistic and self-centered (although I do post A LOT of photos that are NOT of myself)... but that's O.K. I put it out here, I'm fine with whatever interpretation anyone wants to come up with.
you make it all sound so negative! it isn't self-centered, it's self-obsessed. there is a difference, and really you are no more self-obsessed than i am (i may be even more so than you, just not with my own image but with my music and design) and i don't consider either of us to be -entirely- self-absorbed and shallow people! anyways, when it comes to you i think the dorian gray allusion fits best! :)
ok, I can agree with you... but it's not my own image I'm obsessed with, it's what I can do with it via photography and photoshop etc. Just to be clear. I'm far too lazy with my personal grooming to be obsessed with my own image.
