Photo of the Day. Like it Or Not…?

chasejarvis_split head

Here’s the Photo of the Day.

Like it or not? I’d love to know, and it would be good for everyone if you told me why.

[BTW, this image is from our “OGI” file. What’s that? Well…when Scott and I are editing photos after a shoot, combing through thousands to find the select few that see the light of day, we employ a practice that I can’t recommend highly enough. That practice is to put those surprise images–the unexpected happy accidents that have merit, but maybe aren’t relevant to the job we’re editing–into a file of their own with other like-minded (bizarre, unique, etc) images. We call that file “Otherwise Gifted Images”. That’s sort of what I meant by the title of this post. It’s got a double meaning… in one sense, like this image or not, the practice of saving random, unexpected stuff to a common file, or tagging it a certain way, is a good practice. In another sense, I do want to know if you like this photo or not. I’m bias, but I love it. In fact, I took a spin through that whole file last night and fell in love all over again with about 40 photos.. I’ll be sharing more of them over time.]

    Loving it. It’s got a boatload of personality (pun intended, sorta). It’s ackward and makes you step back and look at it for a second time, which i love in pictures. It makes you go back when flipping through a magazine.

    Also, i can’t believe i’m gonna say this… but’m wondering what it could look like if half of it was in color… underwater/not kind of thing.

    Cheers,

    Like but kinda uncomfortable viewing. I feel as if the central divide is poking me in the forehead and I’m rolling my head around to look around the image. It’s gets easier to view the more I look at it, I’m putting that down to the right hand side of the image, right side saves the image with a tiny bit more eye detail. In my opinion anyway 😉
