This Delicate Distance: February 2012

01) the scaling of the image - and what the image actually is - is wonderful. the added fact the the eyeball's rolled back makes this sweater even more irreverent.

02) see - say. you read the image before you read the title - or vice versa. either way their forms contrast from each other well enough to seamlessly blend together.

the letters are perfect circles...but the legs are long and lean. what ties them together [ other than layout ] is that they both share the color blue.

also, the spot lighting dramatizes the greased up legs - and they're relation to each other. they are positioned and photographed as if they are being caught in the act of something scandalous.

i like that.

and there's no need to show anything above the hip. this is about legs, right?

03) this image is amazingly out of this world AND ancient.

galactic:

- the fabric's extremely vibrant and maximalist makeup [ colors / pattern ]

- is it a scarf? is it a sheet? is it headwear?

ancient:

- the nude model & her posture

- the potato sack-like backdrop

04) im really digging the upper bridge on these. also, the tortoise shell fading out into a creamy clear color's great. im also into the dual personality of the temples.

i think i'd switch out the lenses for a greenish color - so the overall look is less uniform.

05) i have no idea what's supposed to be communicated here - but, i love how it all comes together.

a hat as a bowl...holding stacked rocks...add a rustic soup can...then add a bright 'tropical' flower = presto.

there's great texture throughout. and the color management's great: every item beneath the red flower is monochromatic. and the avocado green backdrop integrates itself with a floral pattern - so even if the color's 'off', the graphic texture references the central object in the foreground.
