I am discovering how much of myself I am portraying in some of the photos I take with my iPhone.
Despite the fact I am placing myself out of my comfort zone with themes and ideas collected in the world of iphoneography, I am really enjoying the side road and feel it is helping to build my confidence to take photos and publish them knowing that not everyone will see what I saw yet living with the hope that even just one person will look and think it's something special or challenge them to spot a photo they never saw as the 'perfect picture' before.
I was very happy this week when a friend took the challenge cross pollinating iphoneography with photo styles taken with her trusty film camera. Discovering both can live together, set apart in many ways but a link is there which doesn't take away from her original style.
Oh I have to admit my obsession with clean, neat and tidy! Set routines each day! Have to do things in order A B C annoyed when I feel out of control, Stop!
I am not two different people but now I know there's a way for me to express the little bit of me who allows mistakes, someone who can open up a little via my blog and post photos on Instagram which I can make any style I feel is rooted in the shot I have taken. Fun without feeling I need two straight lines!
Ok another admission I still show my awareness of clean, neat and tidy with some of my iphoneography. Speaking to a friend yesterday who had looked at the photos in my camera roll. Amidst my new more creative style he saw one photo which without doubt spoke volumes of Beverley. One if lined up with many other photos from anyone he would have known who took this shot! It's at the bottom of my blog today.
I often look at fashion and attribute a style to someone I know. Thinking that's something a certain person I know would wear. Now I can see how little bits of me from both sides can be displayed with one photo and the way I chose to present it.
I wonder what way you think and do your photos secretly show the deep set part of who you really are?
iphoneography let's me escape yet have I really left myself behind? I doubt that very much! It's still all quite geometric to me....my next blog may escape neat and tidy, call back and see
