Victor-y

Praise the Lord for Victor’s beard. After days and days of struggling with the arms and swirls of Dallas and Tim, with nothing yet that really thrills me, I stepped into the darkroom today and stepped out with amazing possibilities. I created challenges for myself with Dallas and Tim, photographing relatively flat surfaces, with little contrast and not much depth–I still have hope, but it’s going to be a long time, I think, before I have anything substantial to show of those boys. Now Victor’s a different story. The images are lush and blurry with all sorts of interesting shapes and angles and wiry hair everywhere! Woo hoo! I won’t be able to work with them until after vacation, though… but I am going to take my little cut up contact sheets with me to play with on the plane, a child with his blocks.
