She did not know how to model, really, but she has a degree in art history and worked with those ideas in her head. Sometimes it's O.K. for me if the model is not a model as long as we can overcome the shyness factor. That is where my talents really lay. Surely this should be a marketable skill. But how do I market it? I have no talent there. I have several people trying to get me to get my images out where they can be seen and perhaps purchased. I haven't done any of it yet. I have so many large prints that they have piled up into an unruly mess. It would take a week to sort them in some meaningful way. The weight of the collection of them is unbelievable, hundreds and hundreds of pounds. I can't find anything. I can't show what I want to people who come to the studio. They are just there, a testimony to something, perhaps a pathology or two. When people come in and see them, they say such lovely things in low tones that I sometimes don't believe they've said them. You might think I'd be better at organizing since I am used to administrivia, but I am not organized at work, either. My office looks like the dwellings of a hoarder with piles of papers and books and coffee cups and cans of sardines and water bottles and little gifts--it is embarrassing.
Something needs to be done with that paragraph (it is really not a paragraph at all in the strict sense of the word), but I think that it that I have performed my theory. Form and meaning. I've left a mess while speaking of such. Brilliance. Genius.
Self-proclaimed.
That is what a blog is anyway, right? Self-proclomation.
But what was I saying? And so on and so forth.
I think I'll title this "Lindsey Lohan Is Pregnant" and see how many hits I get.
