It was a bit of a nutty trip to Philly, but I still managed to sneak in a hotel self-portrait. Frequent visitors might remember some of my more recent hotel escapades and long-time readers may even be familiar with my Flickr set (where I keep all my final project entries), dating all the way back to 2008. I’m starting to think that Artomatic, the intended final destination for this project, is never going to happen again. If so, I’ll just have an ongoing project forever, I suppose.
I spend a lot of time in hotel rooms, traveling about, and some time ago I started taking self-portraits – often because I was bored, but also because hotel rooms frequently have great light. They’re also an extremely clean and streamlined environment – great for portraiture. I’ve posted several times before with new additions to the project. You can see the whole set here. I guess I got bored with doing them with clothes on, so a little semi-nude action for the blog!
When I heard it was going to snow on the cherry blossoms, which only bloom for a little bit of time each year (and generally long after it’s stopped snowing), I got very, very excited. When I couldn’t convince any of my friends or clients to get out this morning, I decided to go myself. Sometimes you have to be your own bride.
