I found a wall about a month ago while I was out photographing that I liked, I was alone and was thinking of taking a self portrait in front of it.. the wall was brick and was painted in a way that had a look like the shining

I decided to find someone to photograph in front of the wall, not find someone as in a stranger in the street, unfortunately this wall was in a alley, and this particular town.. very few if anyone is walking around, and this approach if it were to happen probably would not go over so well… “hey can I take you down this alley you didn’t even know existed to take a photo of you?” Suuuuuuure. So I had a couple people in mind to contact, messages sent, time continued on without a planned out shoot so I decided I should go back to at least shoot a self portrait, and I decided to film the process.

Unfortunately when I got to the scene, the wall had been tagged with graffiti in such a way that it was worthless to shoot in front of, This wall space was not large at all, kind of a corner wall next to a door.

Here are some clips I filmed outside of the process of going to get that self portrait..

The lesson learned here was to make something. I could have either shot a portrait or made some type of photograph of the scene… take the picture. Delaying something like this with nothing, doesn’t make sense. but lesson is learned for sure!

take the picture! make the thing!
