Just a note,

obviously my sentences are lacking in structure and have no grammar and trail off or never finish or pop up in the middle of things BUT this is just a working space for me, not something highly polished :)

More photos

I added more green, cyan and changed the levels on this pic to make it more toxic mouldy looking. I liked the green tones in the first photos i took that were made by the bright green shower curtain so I've tried to keep those. My photography skills leave a lot to be desired but who cares it's digital and photoshop is too easy. :P

Water poured from my snoopy toothbrush holder i got in japan in 2003 onto a $15 mirror i bought when i got lost coming home from the airport for an hour and a half in hillsborough or somewhere... This all happened on a desk that i bought for $1 on trademe, the water went eerywhere and almost into the camera and laptop (almost as in a little bit did but not enough to warrant telling anyone). When i add that text to a photograph it makes you wonder why i used these objects whereas if it's just thephoto it doesn't matter in the slightest. I like how photographs can omit information like that. Sometimes it's not always a good thing. Like in these pictures you don't know who's hair it is... I need to work on that if I'm going to use more photography in my work.
This looks like glitter or broken glass. Very pretty.
i like the focus on the hair and not the face. thats all...

alterations explorations in images and composition

powder puff. This nicely formed little ball looks a lot less menacing than the unruly mass of tangled hair it began as. It's more inviting to touch because it seems to have a shape and hence is made with purpose/intent and is not discarded body waste.
green. The fingers are posed weirdly, like waiting for something rather than grasping at the edge of the bath.
hair could probably do with a wash/cut/dye but i can't be flucked
oooh a vignette. I love the reflection you can see in the metal of the bathroom sink. There is a lot i think that can be explored in this room with the mirrors and other shiny surfaces. Very feminist and abject, not so much the political activist path I was heading towards.
blurry what could this be?? I like the warmth and familiarity of this photo. I blurred it more because I didn't want it to be too identifiable.
dead skin, decay, death, waste. These tones convey that feeling and transform the body into something unearthly. Churr photoshop i heart you.
