self

Anyone would think I am self obsessed. I see that many of the photos on this blog are now of me. For some reason I have some kind of distance from them though, I'm not sure why. I just don't feel as though they are purely just about me and me alone. There is something bigger that I am trying to get to. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly that is though. Here are two more images, a self portrait and an indirect self portrait.

OJ

Well, all my promises last time of posting the image that I was taking up to Auckland has turned out to be lies.

Only because, I've left it there to get reprinted, as I felt the quality wasn't quite right. So you will get to see it, but not right now. Instead you can see this one -

This is my husband and I. I joked that it is what our baby is going to look like. Ha ha ha ... very scary! Let's hope not!

Self portraits

Time is flying, as usual. Here is a self portrait taken a few weeks ago, at about 19 weeks pregnant. It's quite a lot different than a lot of the other self portraits that I have been working on recently! I'm off to get one printed quite large now, it's a tad weird, just the way I like it. I'm going to be installing it for a group critique this weekend in Auckland as part of my MFA. It'll be very interesting to hear their interpretations of it. I'll be taking a photo of it while it is on the wall, and will post it here too.

While I'm writting, I'll put a little pip in for one of the latest blogs that is dealing with art photography in a NZ context - photography matters
