02-01-12 – Go Out and Get Some Strange

I’m scared of people O_O

You know, they’re just as scared of you as you are of them.

Possibly even more scared if you know, you take a little GHB to calm yourself down, a little adderall to get your confidence and energy up then some jackass starts in on you, like managing your own body chemistry is a crime, so maybe you overreact a little, maybe talk too loud, punch a wall or whatever. Fail to get your point across. Next thing you know everyone starts freaking out, getting involved when they didn’t see what happened, and they take his side. And you try to manage, sure, but nothing has kicked in yet and this is beyond what most people could take, and boom, you end up getting 9 months to appreciate the penal disparity between assault and battery. Next year you’re back out taking classes, trying to meet people, and your asshole parole officer talks to your teacher where everyone can see, and she’s uptight and is giving you the odd look from then on, so you know everyone in your class is thinking you’re some kind of freak, and now nobody is on your side. Sure, they patronize you with “oh, hey man, you’re looking better” or “hey it’s great what you’re doing for yourself, getting things together like this” and you know damn well they’re just trying to get away without making you freak out again, and they expect you to trust them and be friends when all they do is lie to you and mock you behind your back, and that stuff weighs on you, you don’t shake that off. That story is told through all of you, people can see it in you sinew. Boom, now you’re the scary loner.

But that probably won’t happen. I’m sure things will work out great.

Looking for some general input this week, I’ve got WAY more shots for this than for a usual thread. Here is a G+ album of my potentials

So any thoughts as to what you good folks like would be much appreciated in making final selections.

It is my opinion that you could just close your eyes and point at three and kick my ass this week. But I would go for the trio of pretty girls all together.
Pigtails, Busted and Blue. but I’m a guy so you know… 😀

I like “Pinks” a lot. The composition is nice with the compression of the diagonal lines of the fence/road as the distance increased and the fact that the only pink/red is in the little girl on the right and a tiny bit way in the distance on the other side of the photo. Her face and posture are very cute too. The only downside is that it’s horizontal which is a pain for Fark since you are constrained to 640 width.

I also like the B&W one called “Dad and Daughter”. The fact that it’s shot down, the camera is also a little titled to the left, and the subjects are looking at something out of the shot all make it work for me.

I miss ‘mofo‘s photos. I hear he’s looking better and doing pretty good for himself.

I freaking HATE it when I can’t find a whole series of photos. I have some stranger portraits I took at a music festival (a LOT like a Dead show) last summer. Can’t find the damn things.

Whew. Found them – and a few other photo sessions – on an external drive.

I was going for more interaction with the subjects, ennui, So I’m all for stuff like ‘Milliner’ (my personal fav), where I see that. But voters tend to vary, so don’t put my stamp on it.

I got my three, and have yet gotten nothing for apples and oranges but ideas, and I’ve been down with something, so haven’t had the energy. Doctors tomorrow, hopefully I’ll get into good enough shape to do something. (Tonight, though, I ate without puking for the first time in 3 days, so maybe it’s going to pass.)
