Description
I've had this idea for a few weeks now, and finally tried it out. It took forever to get this right.... I was sitting there gagging with my fingers down my throat trying to get the string to look good, and drooling because my mouth was open and I was leaning forward, not to mention every time I swallowed the string would get messed up and I'd have to fix it all over again.But that aside the hardest bit was getting my mouth to look good wide open and with my togue sticking out. O_O In most of the pictures I looked like a fish on crack, I kid you not.
I wanted a dark feel so I messed around with quite a few settings on my camera, and by pure luck managed to get the picture looking kind of blue o_0 It's amazing how much work went into such a simple shot. And as for the title "Blind Sentiment", take it for what you will.
Model is of course...me
I

I really love this! I wish the face was a bit more smooth...like...blurred a little but that's just because I've always been a big fan of close ups with lots of blurred and sharp bits. XD Silly me.
Amazing shot, anyway. I might try it out just for fun. I would credit you for the idea, though. If you don't mind, that is.

Can't wait to see what you make of my idea

Night-Hawk77 [2007-01-28 06:51:33 +0000 UTC]
Intresting concept.... this would probably be easier to do useing a model instead of selfportrait type of thing. It reminds me of bound speech... or restricted as such.

halaquinn-arcadias In reply to Night-Hawk77 [2007-01-28 08:55:18 +0000 UTC]
Yea It would have been, but I wanted it to be a self portrait because I love challenges, and because it's different from most self portraits
Thanks

I once did that with a thread.. not for a picture, just as I was mending something...
I ended up constricting my tounge because the string wrapped around too tight and I couldn't get it off!
haha

Open interpretations are fun! I'm trying to interpret this by the title you've given it: "Blind Sentiment." The need and thread sort of reminds me of plastic surgery. Focusing this around the tongue adds to the "blind" aspect, because for the most part the tongue is in the mouth and hidden. A lot of plastic surgery creates new emotions, or "sentiment," yet unless the surgery is drastic, it may be hard to tell that any has been done. So is it worth it? It depends on if it is internally satisfying.
Anyways, that's probably not what you were going for, but that's what I saw in it. It's a great shot for many interpretations. Great idea.
