I should take this project as a chance to play with light and the various settings of my camera. I get ISO, I just don’t entirely understand what it means in a digital camera, but I am understanding better how it functions and how it effects color and light and graininess…
I don’t mind graininess.
I am not going for slick polished images in this. I expect to arrive there much further down the road…
I don’t mind grit.
I also think I am coming out of a difficult struggle with my body and body image over the past year. Time to celebrate my body again.
Yay!
Someone, I think it was <gregorbehr>, once commented on how comfortable I look in my skin. I see that. I have for some time. Even when I am wasting away, even when I ballooned up at the end of chemotherapy… I was still comfortable in it. I suspect it may just be that sensible thing that bulls can do: it is the only flesh I will ever have in this life, may as well get on with liking it…
