Children of Winter
I just got home from seeing the new Warren Miller movie, Children of Winter. As much as I love TGR, Matchstick, Poor Boys and other ski flicks, Warren Miller films bring me back to my childhood, like I think they do for many other people based on the turn-out of young children and families tonight. Anyway, I have to admit, that up until this point, I have had a hard time getting psyched up for skiing this winter. My classes in American Government and Labor Economics have kept my mind occupied with current political issues. However, tonight, while I was watching the Utah section and the deep powder skiing, I got this tingling sensation throughout my body but especially in my brain. I swear it was pure dopamine, triggering my inner addict that only comes out in the winter. Instantly, my mind started to race about all the things I need to do to get in shape and ready for the winter. The project ideas started flowing and I had to pull out my planner in the middle of the movie to write them down. I must get back into the yoga and pilates routine as well as work on some tricks on the indoor diving boards.
So…on another completely random note, I have a studio shoot coming up for Rubberball, a stock photography agency in Provo, and I had to put together some wardrobe options and conceptual ideas and take pictures and send them over to them so we can figure out what we are going to be shooting.
Here are some of my self portraits (and please don’t laugh at the idea of me sitting at my house producing these shots, as hysterical as it may be–I’m very thankful none of my brother’s came over during this process).
I dressed up in my dad’s business suit since I don’t have my own. Menswear is so much fun to dress up in. So much easier than putting together a woman’s outfit.
More menswear.
Chilling by the fish pond. The hat is one of my latest creations and the skirt is thrift store vintage.
