This is another reference photo that turned out well enough to share. I was thinking about trying to get form in what I hoped would be an interesting way, and I think I did, but this one I’m not much a fan of. I like the form. I like the angularity in my arms and I like that my face is in shadow. It feels a little too “cool” to me, if that makes sense. Very unintentionally, but it feels like it’s touching a little on mysticism in a shallow way, or just the idea of some badass. However, people have told me they like it and I do like it, and it is just a reference photo, so I figure it’s worth sharing a bit more than I have.

This is my submission into the three hundred-and-seventy-eighth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Last Chance“.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Egídio

Ritva

Beth

This one is curated by everyone. The next one is curated by everyone when they return on Jan 3rd (4th in some countries) from a hard-earned break.

I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.

I hope you enjoy.
