It All Comes Out In The Wash

Met two of the nicest guys, while I was at the local laundromat snappin' some selfies...

They were friendly, and helpful - and even agreed to be in a few of the pics. alongside me :)

THANKS Guys!!! I never expected this shoot to be so darn much fun!

I was so excited to learn yesterday, that the above self-portrait has been selected to appear on the EraGallery main page, in their December 2012 Lightbox Exhibition, along with the works of only 11 other artists who were chosen from the thousands who sent submissions to be considered for acceptance into the online art show!

Additionally, my artist profile will appear on EraGallery's Featured Artist Column - from December 12th through the 16th...I am totally stoked - THANK You, EraGallery!!!

Can I Come Out Now?

(Snapped on 11/30/12)

All right so...after weeks spent feeling mostly aimless and lost - I finally had a lightbulb moment, sometime last evening...and since today is the beginning of a brand new month, and tomorrow is my 44th birthday - it seemed a good enough occasion to unveil and initiate my brand new Big Ugly strategy.

 Here's the deal...

It wasn't images alone that got me into the trespassing trouble, it was also what I wrote to accompany those dastardly pics....and because of that, I'm starting to think that it might be best if I say as little as possible (if anything at all) about the selfpics that I post in the future. Which is a bit of a bummer since I really do love sharing the details of each shoot - but for now at least, I believe that a self-imposed gag order is simply a matter of self-preservation.

Since I will no longer be burning up precious time fussing with the text in my entries - I'm thinkin' it might actually be possible for me to start posting a single self-portrait a day, from now on (rather than the weekly series of related pics. that had kinda become my norm). I won't be staging daily shoots however, and so to fill in the gaps - I shall pluck older pics. from the archives, and intersperse them in the mix whenever necessary.

This new format will be very similar to the way my "Big Ugly B-Sides" on tumblr. used to be, for the first year or so that I had it up and running: random images posted daily, with no verbal explanation, but hopefully worth a look-see, nonetheless...

I'm not a big fan of change, and yet - that's exactly what this is. Oddly enough though, I'm excited about this alternate approach to blogging about my self-portraits. And I can only hope that you guys are, as well...
