This is the original, before I played around with the negative image below. It's interesting that I end up preferring the digital versions to my original work--I like the cropped effects or re-coloring or using negatives. I also noticed how I have a penchant for mysterious women. It occurred to me a few weeks ago that I'm often searching for my mother in these women. They usually have their backs turned, or their faces are blurry or they're looking into some distance, never at me. I'm drawn to these kinds of pictures somehow.
