antiportrait - apprehensive

Description

Apprehensive.

Second of twelve in a series of "anti-self-portraits" that i used for my final project last year. The concept was pretentious, and the execution was poor. But here they are: a set of images that either LIE, tell the honest truth, exaggerate the truth to the point of inacuracy, or just berate myself needlessly.

I was attempting to both hide and expose myself simltaneously. I was attempting to play assumed roles for the camera. This was a trainwreck.

........................................ .............................
All manipulations were done by hand, on the negatives themselves, or as part of the darkroom process. Materials: salt, rubber cement, clear tape, markers, pencil, sugar, glass, transparent film.

This photo just speaks to me. I think I have to fav this one too. Anyway, I think I like this because it's so much like me. The comment sounds like something I say a lot to myself. Plus, I spend a lot of time in my room. And I wonder why I don't have a social life.
