pinhole silhouette, dream theory, jason polan
25 Jul
In February, I attempted a few pinhole portraits of pets and their owners. It was then that I realized that pets just don’t hold still when you ask them too. This lovely silhouette is of Aaron and his roommates dog, Coco, but Aaron calls him Shadow… because as he grew older, he lost his coco brown fur and turned black. You can kind of see Shadow’s ears near Aaron’s face.
So lately, I’ve been working out in my dreams and waking up sore… sore like I worked out in real life… it’s totally bizarre. It’s kind of exciting and proves my theory, that when we’re awake we’re dreaming and when we’re ‘sleeping’ we’re actually living our real lives. My ‘dreams’ are way more interesting than my ‘real’ life. In my dreams I travel to make-believe lands and find myself in all sorts of wild predicaments. Unicorns, aliens, heros… they all exist in my ‘dreams’. If in my awake state I’m thinking of someone I haven’t seen in a while, I visit them in my dream state, and those visits are often quite wonderful.
Last night I was catching up on reading some of my favorite blogs and I followed a bunch of links and found this, an artist (Jason Polan) in NYC that is trying to draw every person in New York. If you tell him where to meet you, he’ll show up, possibly unannounced and draw you… it only takes two minutes and then he posts his drawings to his website. If I were in NYC this summer I would totally contact him.
If you haven’t seen this interview yet…. well, I was interviewed for Without Lenses Quarterly Magazine and the article is now live! I’m pretty excited about this!
Have a wonderful weekend!
You have some of the most amazing pinhole photography I have seen. I love the silhouette.
i had a whopper of a dream last night. freddy was a brand new newborn and i was sneaking him out of the hospital to go on a nature walk… apparently the hospital was nestled in the OUTBACK! we hiked over and around big rocks…. a stream was rushing by us and we crossed it a few times… and then… we kept hearing wild noises and when we came to a clearing… i could see one of what was many … wild dogs! like hyenas or dingos…. spotted and speckled and big and the one i spotted…. turned and looked right at me… our eyes locked and then i knew… RUN!!!!so i ran and ran… holding this tiny baby… and i was explaining to him… ‘we gotta go go go!!’ and then a few nurses were out there too and i handed freddy to them and said… GO! and I ran in a different direction. total horrorfest mom dream… also had a pretty sexy dream starring patrick swayze. ….
