Artistic Self Photos

The elastic in these is falling apart.

I do love the way it came out, not just the resolution, but the feeling it gives off, THROBBS.

Thank you so much.

"Artistic"? Only legit aspect of being "art" is that I created this while in Art School.
Not a final product, but messing around with "solarization" process. 35mm film

I think there were some better prints using dark room tricks/techniques, but not scanned in to digital files.
Art school was Pre-computer days! (there were computers, just not widely used. Pre Mac)

So COOL! My old-time Adobe photo software used to be fun to play with (but will no longer work on current Windows software). Definely ARTistic!

Thank you so much.

Back in the 70s, an Air Force buddy did a lot of 35mm photography, and self-developed and printed his own stuff at the Air Force Base hobby shop. I bought a Mamiya-Sekor 35mm and learned from him to self-develop and print B&W---never did get into doing nudes though. Nice work!

I do love seeing the old film contact sheets and haven't seen them in a long time, thank you for sharing them!

Wanna come up and see my contact sheets? LOL ... and/or my etchings? (I have those too. Really)

So, one good yank? I love the contrast between the very black undies and your skin, Liquor!!

Apologies for the late reply, I had some health issues this morning while I was here earlier.

Thanks so much Tali. I wasn't sure if anyone had seen this one, so I am very glad you noticed. A minimal yank would do it. I took a more revealing shot, but I am not sure I should post it. Oh, I just saw the fine print. I hope everything is ok now.

Oh, indeed I did see it, but like I said, I had a low sugar episode that I had to deal with and couldn't reply earlier, ugh......and I'm happy to see any and all of your photos!

I am so glad you are doing better. You make things so much better here at lit!

Very nice, Liquor, still loving the contrast and now other stuff!!

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? I need to get out more!

Thank you so much Tali. You are wonderful, but don't let it go to your head!

I am out of touch with what the kids are saying.
Get out and come over! See my contact sheets or my fitted sheets.

Having just returned from Italy, where I saw some great versions of Perseus & Medusa,
I am reminded of when I was removing a smallish tree stump and was inspired to recreate that moment, in a silly way.


It's bit ironic that some versions of Perseus are carved of stone... hmmm

haha, I love this, the humor, the creativity, the sandals and how did you get it to look like stone?

Agree, talikat!

Does it? Look like stone... That just a quick photo shop filter (high contrast... might have been called "rubber stamp"..?). I really didn't make much effort in that regard.

If I'd have been really audacious, I'd have stripped nude, but neighbors are too close.

Uh-oh, I'm afraid I'm starting to enjoy this.

Not the whole thing, but the chest looks like stone to me and I do see the use of the contrast as well, THROBBS, I do wish they had a stone type filter, but haven't seen one yet.

My inner exhibitionist is trying to break out. I Photoshopped the heck out of it:

If I get too into the adrenaline, I may have to fight with the green man shot from the navel to knee...

I imagine there is, somewhere. I also think I could generate something if I was motivated enough... but.. SQUIRREL!

I'm also glad that there's a bit of me that can still get rock hard.

I like it, it's like the night vision in my binoculars............also love the perspective and the chain, but wondering what it's doing?

haha, yes, those pesky squirrels! Luna pics has an art filter that you can apply your own style to and I've tried with other stone pictures, but they don't come out right............yet, but I will keep trying with different ones. I'm not smart enough to generate anything myself!

I believe in you rocky!!

The chain? It symbolizes something. It was a Photoshop project just combining unrelated dramatic elements. The chain supports the seat of a children's swing at a park.
