A song of myself.

I have been travelling all around the world taking auto-exposure photos of myself. blaine in denver, april 1999

Postcards and other Image tomfoolery. Yet more photos. Damn the man who sold me that digital camera.

I am not exactly certain why. as with my journal, I seem to think I am recording something for posterity, perhaps attempting to verify my existence empirically. Perhaps I am a narcissist. Perhaps none of the above. Self-portraits are as old as selves. That's reason enough.

1976 "Photo Transformation

top

"Submerged in narcissism, nothing remains . . . but "me and myself, I am my own audience, the other, contemplating my existence."

In the 70's Greek-born american artist Lucas Samaras took hundreds of SX-70 photos of himself, seeking by means of narcissism to come to the core of his being. I took this notion on board in a big way. Now, no one seems to remember who he is/was. Not many people probably remember what an SX-70 is...was...

sigh.
