Comic Con 2007: Crush


Comic Con 2007: Cute
Originally uploaded by earthdog.
I have been swimming in Comic Con Photos. I have been back from comic con for two days and I am not half way through the photos yet. I posted as many as I could while I was at the show, but I took around 2000 photos. It is a lot to go through and look at. Posting all of them would not be satisfying. I know I will be posting these photos for a while yet. Hopefully I will still have people's attention by the time I am done.

Looking at these photos so often, I think I develop crushes on some of the subjects of the photos. I see something in the photos that just draws me in. I cannot look away from the photo and wonder what the people are like. I think about the photography so much, I feel like I know more about the person that I do.

The moment of the photograph lasts a very long time for me, while it is just a nanosecond for the subject. I do not know if this woman will ever see this photo. If I met her again I know I could not explain how the photo effected me. I have tried with other women in the past and it has not come across.

I am not sure why the photos I take have this effect on me. I am not sure why I get the feeling that I know something about my subjects. This may be why I like photography so much. It is a way to capture a moment that cannot be captured any other way.

Abuse of Image

I am looking back at the picture I posted an hour ago. I wonder if I am abusing this woman's image. There are two arguments. The first is that she posted her picture on the internet. She should know that when you post something like this you are releasing it to the whole world. The second is that she put her picture up for a specific purpose. I had to dig pretty deep to find it. I am out of bounds to use it for my weblog.

I want to know what other people think. How would you feel if you found a picture of yourself on someone else's weblog? Someone you do not know?

Just Look At Those Eyes

During my surfing tonight I came upon this picture.



I will admit you have to go to a muslim singles page to find a picture like this. This picture if of a 17 year old woman who is living in Oman . She is a niqaabi (a muslim woman who totally covers herself in public) and she convered in Islam in the past 1-2 years.

I look at this picture and I entranced. I just cannot look away from her eyes. I wonder how she sees the world. I wonder what go on behind her eyes. I wonder is her what I would think if I hear her speak. The sad thing is that I will never get a chance to know any of these things. That might be the reason I cannot look away from this picture.
