35 and First

I will acknowledge there is a hubris, somewhat fungating, in my esteem to think that people would subscribe to read my thoughts. To grasp any notion of regression, I have to take it back to the first pic on the 35mm Mamiya Sektor. Which, ironically or not, happens to be a selfie. I did try to make this a humble turn-around but the unconscious ego always finds a mirror to stare at. Whether with disgust or affinity.

Yes, for the viewers that is a Bow-Wow branded silky draping over my shoulder. It was purchased at my local beauty supply shop in Elizabeth, NJ and accessorized in Medellin, Colombia. This photo was immediately taken after getting off a client call. Plenty of bowing and wowing did take place in that Google Meet. Can you see my screen? The grain in the photo defines the room as the masses form together to give depth. The room is bruised in a sense. The mystique of covering the capturer's face eliminates them as a subject. It feels inanimate. Give anything a face and it automatically becomes important. But this is another object in which light is bouncing off of.

Yes, I am draped in a black and GOLD (emphasis) Luxe Design draggy by the former artist known as Lil' Bow Wow. There are many elements of shadows and they are subtle until they are not. So much subtle bruising that it all just flows. No worries of details as it's one glance, one quick story and unless pulled apart, it's more difficult to identify what is missing. Stray away from the center to study how it holds together.

There is no subject other than the moment.

Can I get a yippie yo - yippie yay?
