So as promised, and hyped, and all the rest of it, here are the results of the call I put out a week ago for people to send in photos to me. I made no choices here about the best or the worst or anything like that. I received just one photo in this past week. It definitely succeeds in the goal of "Self Portrait without A Face", and the artist actually had a pretty good statement about it all when he sent it to me, and I hope that he's alright with me posting his words here --
"Attached is my photo, which, while quickly thrown together, is a good still-life sum of what I feel are the attributes of myself that I most identify with --- the guitar for my love of music/entertainment/art, the law books (self-explanatory), the UVA picture with fireworks going off above the Rotunda (embodying the way we all explode out of our shells, bot socially and otherwise, through our college experiences), the sunglasses (hopefully expressing a side of me which, believe it or not, is actually laid-back), and the Mardi Gras cup and beads (hey, when all else fails, I can party with the best of them --- those beads were obtained just a few weeks ago!)."
I've decided not to post a photo of my own tonight, so that I can let this one stand on its own. Thank you for the contribution!
More later!
