week 14 of my 52 portraits of me project. this week the portrait has to depict 'anger' and that's kind of irritating sometimes with projects like this. you spend all your life having to endure being called 'the ugly one' and then you need to post a picture of you angry and believe me you wouldn't like to see me when i'm angry.
in any case this is difficult to execute. how is one to take a photo on a timer on those gloves? those are real gloves, a remnant of one of the boys' karate gears from way back. i couldn't use the remote because it would be fruitless with those gloves. also, after my slip last thursday i find that if i stretch my right arm further from my body, i get this excruciating pain on my shoulder blade and neck. if it doesn't get any better i would think a visit to the doctor would be in order.
where were we? ah, yes, anger. i used to have a bad temper especially when i was very young. now, i have learned to hold back and i keep quiet. but quite a few times, i've been provoked. and that makes me freaking real angry.
I like the square frames you have over this shot! Did you set the delay exposure with your teeth? That one raised eyebrow doesn't imply anger but merely confident in your boxing ability!
Yep, not an easy selfie and well done my friend . I love the focus on that close glove . I can't imagine it's easy getting that second glove on the no help. I'm guessing you are using your teeth . Can you imagine if you had false teeth and they came out sticking to the glove ? Okay just a shot idea from my twisted brain...LOL
I like the dimension the rectangles add to this shot. Your expression really conveys that you won't let anyone mess with you, and maybe a weariness about possibly having to fight.
I hope it is a temporary situation with your arm and shoulder.
