54/365 – The Price (by Joana C.)

I am cheating,i am a cheater! No, now seriously, this is that so called photo I saved for a possible eventuality happening where I would have no time on my hands during the span of 24 hours to do a photo, and although today was not a day like that I am still deciding to use it and why? Well, for once I am lady sick, the monthly nightmare; secondly my lip problem is really wearing me down, as I said before, anything that messes up with my face messes my whole self, so I spent the day in bed with cramps and my lip so dry it started to hurt and besides all of that I have been feeling quite blah, if that’s a feeling at all and today I just didn’t pick my camera. I looked at her, for endless minutes and thought she was playing a better role in the shelf then what she would be playing in my hands, so I give you a photo I have been saving for long in hope that it will serve the purpose.

Of course, like most of my latest photos this one was a lucky shot. Yes, because my muse doesn’t seem to cooperate with me and if she shows once every two weeks that I call that luck. It was a day playing with make-up, strange ideas, gauze and everything else and this was the result. Good? Probably not but I don’t dislike it entirely. It’s not perfect in technical terms but it has a concept, and it’s quite fashion and beauty related, easy to figure out, I believe, so when I have a concept I hold to it and even thought the photos I do may not come out all pretty and nice, the idea still stands and I don’t dislike (trying to avoid the word hate as my dad says I say that word much too often) everything so much.

Hope you like it!
