so. been a while.

recently, sweetpuddle *saturninus spent a week in my viennese den. while he was here, we did a few photoprojects. behold! i also had some things on my mind; and we had a go at them. sadly, though, i'm very disappointed by the outcome.

thus, longing for some output after all this time, i decided to do some photos myself today. shooting with models is a two edged sword for me... of course i'm rather behind the camera for my own photographic ideas, having full control over the image; and after all, i'm tired of shooting pictures of myself. on the other hand, i'm bad at instructing models and the models are usually bad at being what i want them to be. that means, the concepts i have arise from the way i myself use my body. so any other person cannot ever fully reproduce my mental images, for they aren't me. this isn't necessarily bad, and much of great pictures' greatness comes from the dialogue between photographer and model; but still, i tend to be disappointed.

enough blabbering.
