Here is a photo I took of my ex-boyfriend with the sun behind his head, on a trip to New York 4 years ago. It was meant to be beautifully backlit, like the one he took of me, but when it was my turn, I accidentally erased his head with natural flare. (no pun intended)
I remember feeling guilty - like he might think I had done it on purpose, but he found it funny.
I'm having a hard time culling my photo library (and my music library.) It feels weird to have so many photos of an old life with him every time I open iphoto. Should I back them up, and delete them like he never existed? Like couples do on Facebook? Am I being a hoarder? What's the best thing to do here?
I suppose I can at least keep this one.
I think back them up and take them off your computer only if they are bothering you or you think you are ready to get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteI took mine off simply because I didn't want to be reminded of that life every time I went into my photos, I'd rather remember those times when I want to.
Thanks Sal. That sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is just incredible!!! I can't stop looking at it. His face is naturally deep etched around that scarf. Bloody amazing and FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sal. Back-up (back-up).

Thanks T-bird. I pumped up the contrast the tiniest bit, because you could make an feint outline of his mouth in the original, I don't know how to post it here - otherwise I would. I think it would make a rad picture set to take pics of yr friends like that. Can you do that on an slr? Do one of Glen Iris or Jem for me!
