it’s such a strange feeling to sit before a monitor displaying a dozen or more images of your face; 12 different expressions all at once, from an angle and perspective you never get to otherwise see; not even in mirrors (because they’re backwards–or spatially inverted–if you want to be technical). it’s what i’ve dealt with the past few days as i prep a new gallery of recent photos…and i can only imagine how a celebrity must feel having dozens or hundreds of strange people all waving photos, posters, t-shirts, etc.–effectively twice the number of faces as there are fans, except that half of those faces are yours. the only comfort i have is the control over the environment and how many of “me” there are.
nevertheless, i’m just about finished with said gallery, and i’ve posted a preliminary glance — recent photos. i’ve been experimenting with smaller-sized thumbnails due to the sheer number of photos i have or expect to have, and so you can see more per page, with a smaller download time. i personally prefer the horizontal rectangles 11:8 ratio of all the other galleries, as they’re more interesting in my opinion, so let me know or comment in the forum if you’ve got a preference.
today is expected to be incredibly hot — 95 degrees fahrenheit (with high humidity no less, because this IS minnesota) — and i plan to take advantage of the sun!
