two of you that you can casually throw out or delete.
I have always felt awkward about this subject and I think most people do. The problem is that a lot of my work is often autobiographical. I have created a new set on flickr of some old photographs that I took with a pinhole camera made from a Christmas cookie tin. I posted one of them the other day and I have a few more to go. There is one with an ex that I haven't seen or talked for 12 years. This was taken before the web was popular and I obviously didn't have a flickr account or a blog were I often post my work. I think it is small and blurry enough to keep her anonymity. Though when I took them she knew there was a possibility of them being exhibited. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ceramic_landscape/sets/72157625232498958/
I think if you're out in the public it's no big deal, but if you try and make money from the image she might have a problem.
ReplyDeleteI had the one pin hole picture on my wall, it's packed away at the moment, but I always thought it was kind of gothic and you half expect sometime weird to crawl out of the wall hole.
I still have to scan the other one.
ReplyDeleteAs I was writing the post I remembered that she knew that it may have been exhibited. And I also remembered we were not dating at the time of the photograph. I think that changes things on a personal level.
I LOVE them. I want one! Did she take them or did you? I'm confused?

She is in one of the pics on the flickr account. I had one that is a composite that my most recent ex may have destroyed. I am hoping to find it and post it.
ReplyDeleteDid you do this at Beal?
