MICHAEL MUSIKA'S CHRONOLOGICAL DOCUMENTATION OF CREATION THROUGH WRITING, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND PERFORMANCE ON VIDEO.

JUNE 24, 2020 // SELF PORTRAIT

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. I like the colors and the fact that the subject is in the left hand third of the horizontal frame. I was holding the camera though, and as a result the horizon is tilted. Further there are places where the light pools too flat like how smeared paint looks. This is a result of using the iPhone camera function where you can see what you are taking a picture of while you’re taking a picture of it. Future photos will come out better if taken whenever possible with a DSLR camera on a tripod. Furthermore, it will be interesting to see if the subject not being able to see the photographer looking at the subject, will yield a less puckered and self conscious visage.
