So here's Get Out of My Head, take two of course. This is my photo for submission, thoughts? I was having trouble with the white balance on my camera and taking wall pictures. I followed the wonderful Vicki's advice and created a photo set up on the wall which seemed to work and played with the white balance until I found the one that seemed the closest (Incandescent FYI defiantly thought I had fluorescent lights!). This is the photo that will either get me into my first NYC show or get me rejected. I am a coward and I admit I almost didn't enter this show because I find out whether or not I got in on my birthday but part of being a "real" artist is taking rejection as well as you take acceptance! So cheers to them whether they love me or hate me!
I am also thinking of entering Comedy and Tragedy, thoughts? Are they too boring? Should I try and retake another picture? This one is old and with my old camera.
Yay for being bold and trying things even if rejection looms! You never know what might happen, and even if the answer's no, you're extremely talented and there's always next time.
ReplyDeleteI like the pic of Get Out Of My Head, but vixy would know best. If you do enter the other one, I would say yes, a new photo is in order, but why not a different piece? Just because if it's NY I bet they get a lot of Comedy/Tragedy-themed art.
Good luck!
I really like Get Out Of My Head, good job! Yeah we need to get to where we aren't fazed by rejection, you can't succeed if you don't try!
ReplyDeleteFor Tragedy/Comedy, I say enter it. You never know what the judge/jury will like. But take another picture, this one has too many shadows on the faces.
Yes you are both right you never know what will happen and if you dont try you will never go foward. I feel like I am getting closer to dealing with rejection a year ago when I saw you heard back on my birthday whether or not you got in, I wouldnt have entered!
ReplyDeleteI think I will enter C&T but yes def. with a new picture! I dont really have anything else that works for the show but the fee covers 4 pieces, so why not!
