I
have forgotten one of my cardinal lenses. I cannot believe I did that. I mean,
I know I've been saying it's time to try new angles, but you don't leave behind
your primary lens. Honestly, what kind of a noob does that?
But anyhoos, so far the
day has been okay. There are places I certainly feel better at than in the
nation capital, but the book business meeting went cool, nothing negative said
about my draft. Just editodial brush-ups. Things I've been hoping to get a year
ago. They liked the pickies, too. Even the ones I didn't.
Here where I am now, I
feel lost. Too many people. Too many photographers. Most of them are extremely
social and are drawing attention to themselves like there's no tomorrow.
Everyone's best buddy. Room is lousy with air kisses. Normal people are being
transformed into works of art. It was enough for me to want to wipe off my make-up.
The little that I'm wearing. By comparison. The rural gray mouse. Yeesh, Gods,
the way everyone is speaking. Their accents, their vocabulary. Their gestures,
their stances. Their gayness, their clothes... Their WORK clothes. No other way
for me to stand out other than wearing jeans and a Tshirt. And my hair in a
braid. Here I am the weirdo.
Well, okay, I am always
the weirdo. But there's a big lens between the world and me. And through a lens
everything is so very pretty, erotic, alluring, interesting. A man in white
makeup, naked, with deep purple lips, naked, behind bars, reminds me so much of
Kuragari... Of course I've seen and heard this boy talk and act in the
backstage and there is nothing at all interesting about him. A male model. Supposedly
desirable, with the large blue eyes, blonde hair and tall lean body. And all I
can think about is how much I want to be at home, doing dailies, stealing
kisses from the General. And how much more I would enjoy shows like these if
they included people like Ian Whyte or Rory McCann...
Considering there are
about about a dozen photies present, nobody will mind if I take my own approach
to this runway. Dresses are lovely and the models are magnificent. I thing the
seeting is perfect. I will try to use a very long exposure, telelens and a
hotflash and catch them as if they are ghosts. Since this is called Vampire
Infinity, Monster Edition. Let them be unearthly.
