| A Portrait of the Dwarf as a Young Man Fannon, In Real Life. |
At one point or another, every artist does a self-portrait of some sort. In fact, it's a standard part of most art classes. This was mine; done as I was learning my trade as an apprentice with one of the best photographers in my home town. I used it on my business cards when I went into business for myself and I still use it as my Facebook profile picture today (not that I use Facebook any longer, mind you). The fedora was my signature look at the time, and I wore is almost constantly. Thank you, Night Court, for defining my aesthetics at such a young age.
I haven't done any other self-portraits since. One of the drawbacks of being a photographer is that you're seldom on the other side of the lens.

Angelya over at Revive and Rejuvenate has come up with another Challenge that I, as a Photographer and self-styled Visual Artist, am very excited about. It's IntPiPoMo, or International Picture Posting Month. As a picture is worth 1,000 words, the goal for this challenge is to post 50 pictures during the month of November. I will be posting 25 Images of Azeroth and 25 photographs or art projects that I have been working on personally (and no baby photos, sorry ladies). As well, I will be posting commentary and context with each image.

Fannon, omg. That pic in Kezan... I swear all those things I miss I am glad you are there to capture them. You've made that filthy town look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like the fedora! I love putting faces to names so thank you for posting a picture of yourself :)
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait...you're not a dwarf, with a big bushy beard IRL? Consider my mind blown.
ReplyDeleteI've never, ever, played or tempted myself to have a glimpse at the Goblin starting area (Don't do spoilers). However this shot makes me think of a ghost town, probably with some zombies wondering around XD

@Navimie: The images that I've been posting haven't really shown it, but I have a weak spot for rundown or shabby industrial architecture, and Kezan has plenty of that. I find it beautiful in a very specific way.
ReplyDelete@Aralosseien: I don't wear it as much as I used to, but the Fedora used to be my signature look. I even wore one during my wedding.
@Endyme: It's the camera angle; it makes me look taller.
@Jamin: LOL, I haven't had a chance to play through it yet either. That pool is literally right next to where you zone in as a new goblin character, so I haven't got very far in the zone at all.
