Questions:

I want to know some things about you,

When you sleep, what do you dream about?
What is absurd and obscure around you?
In your own words, describe what surrealism means to you.
When I speak to you, what do I leave with you?

Human emotion.

I was shooting this weekend for a piece for my "Fears" body of work. I was taking photographs in a manner in which I could capture people without them knowing. I got what I needed, but this image in particular stole my focus.
I stared to think about human emotion and how we regulate it ourselves and how we try to regulate others. Obviously there are gender implications to the above statement. Males should be strong and emotionless, women should be weak and full of uncontrollable emotion.

These things were in mind when I first saw this image upon my initial edit. A male and female, presumably romantically involved, shopping together. The male holding his own bag while the female holds hers. I feel like this image holds true emotion. Happiness. Both sexes happy. the male isn't dragging because he is shopping, as the female isn't loathing shopping without a girlfriend. It seems as this image breaks a few stereotypes about sexes. More specifically as they apply to shopping I suppose. But none the less it was nice to see.

TL;DR? The only question, is the emotion only real because they are unaware of the camera, would the dynamic change if they were aware?

Productive day.

Productive day. Completed two pieces. Gathered supplies for another two.
This is one of two photographs I took today for a diptych for my 'Fears' body of work. This is not the color that will be used per se. At least I don't think it is.
I've been working with color recently trying to achieve a certain ascetic that I can't describe. It is close cross processing. It kind of only exists in my head. Which is a nice place for it to hangout.
This and the other image were taken in a private building I was not supposed to be in. I was wearing this mask and other awkward things that were making people uncomfortable. But I found that but just talking to them, saying hello, defused the situation and they ignored me.
Lately I have realized that If there is something you want, and you persevere to get it, you probably will. I feel that persistence is rewarded and determination is essential.
These are things I am trying to apply to my everyday life.
