Writing Theory and Soda Pop

Last night driving home from Ben's SoNewMedia party I got to thinking.

Imagine that everything I will ever express outwardly can be represented by a plastic bottle of Sprite. The carbonation can be anything that's worthy of attention. Some of the carbonation just diffuses into the air all willy-nilly. Nobody pays much attention to it because it's like static on the radio. There's no rhyme or reason to it. The opposite of this, of course, is the bubbles. The bubbles are of the same stuff as the fizz, except they've deliberately coalesced into something with form and a definite quality. Little perfect round bubbles. For an example of what I consider perfect little round bubbles, click here.

I posted some photos of Natasha last night. And here they are. The new ones are the "sg" series. They're PG-13. Halfway through the shoot I realized that by actually holding the florescent (full spectrum) light in my left hand while working the camera with my right hand, I could compose a shot in record time. Unflattering shadows can be banished by a simple placement of my left hand. Extremely fast and cool technique, methinks.. Natasha gets really pissy when it takes too long to compose a shot. So I discovered it out of necessity. :) That, and I don't have any strobes yet. Soon though, soon.

Stay tuned.
