yes, the post processing was to make up for an otherwise not-so-well-shot foto

i hoped you would, you didn't let me down.
do you play jazz? i love the swing and the groooooove
i love the sky-high tension and fulfilling release
i love chick corea & bill evans... many others... jazz is the toughest genre!

and you're welcome

photogab In reply to am-y [2007-01-28 02:58:25 +0000 UTC]

I do love Jazz and blues.

Blues being the more listened to. Jazz is really tough and all, and it takes years of training to build up feel and improvisation in Jazz.

On the other hand, i play a lot blues cause of the hugh emotional feelings you can put into the solos and bends of the strings, gives much attitude i suppose.

am-y In reply to photogab [2007-01-28 06:07:22 +0000 UTC]

they say u need to start off with blues, that's what i did, but grew very tired of it fast (blues scale overuse, and i don't really like the earthy, homey feel of blues)... i want to move on to do freestyle jazz and fusion jazz... but i don't know the "formulas"... atonal and dissonant stuff, yet nuanced with the right touches - that's what interests me now...
still have a long way to go, but i won't stop trying

haha, I have that book >.<

and exactly how much do your students learn in class? I'll be surprised if they ever pass an exam, cause even if they' re really good, they'll fail just so that they can keep having classes with you ^^

am-y In reply to fallsmet [2007-01-27 18:48:23 +0000 UTC]

of course you do! (have that book that is! ) any good student of music would (well, since you're the artsy type i assume you learn music too)

well most of my students are women
and most don't take exams
i do teach some guys, but they're very focused on the piano, not me

this is one of your/if not/ best self portraits you've made the colors are nice. i especially like the way the shadow comes across your right arm, helping to create a (tiny) triangular 'negative' space between you arm and waist. (are you wearing a corset in this pic?) -strange what catches my attention. . .( i must have a shadow fetish )
the only thing that bugs me slightly is that your slightly off-center. . . but I'm assuming that you wanted your left foot to be the central focus . . .
-this must be my longest comment to date-

am-y In reply to TeuvoH [2007-01-27 18:41:24 +0000 UTC]

wow, best??

actually i have several versions of this... i had a hard time deciding which to post, i felt they were all sucky... (well, it is hard being the photographer and model at the same time! ) this is the one that sucked the least i felt
i didn't plan anything, i just posed based on what i wore that day [link] and no, i don't wear corsets under clothing, i would die from heat and suffocation
i have a small waist (23cm) - that's probably what catches your attention - because this blouse is quite figure-hugging.

the off-centredness is deliberate, it just looks better that way
