In one sense, a photograph is a betrayal, because it takes a state that exists for one fraction of a second and defines an object—or a person—by that fragmented instant. All that comes before and all that comes after are lost, but for that one frame preserved, and while, in very rare moments it achieves the telling of a facet of the subject's story, most of the time it is merely an incomplete attempt to contain something more than what that one photograph could possibly hold.
That having been said, there is the subject of hair.
It had to come up on this blog at some point; after all, I am female. And after all, I did promise to share the results of a late-night game with a scissors and a mirror (which happened several regrettable weeks ago and cannot be undone even if it can be grown out of; girls, I do not recommend it).
And even if these two photographs are lacking in artistic portrayal, they convey the information desired, and that is enough for the purpose at hand.
Without further ado...
So are you happy with it? Love you anyway!!! XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteIt would be rather unfortunate if what happened to my hair precipitated a diminishing of affection, but I suppose even a mother's love can only be stretched so much. -.-
DeleteIt's easier to handle, certainly, and I do like that. At this point I've mixed feelings over whether I'll keep it shorter or let it grow significantly longer again.
Oh. Wow. Wow. Guess I knew it was coming. :P
ReplyDeleteYou did receive fair warning, you know. -.-
DeleteI love the two pictures - how they compare two different looks. I can't decide which is the nicer look, but you're hair looks like it was cut well. Professional,or a Donny-cut? =P And the mirror...it's one of the worst mirrors for gazing at one's reflection in since it is a dirty one. Donny...did you know you are lovely?
ReplyDeleteCough. A Donny-cut, definitely, and I'm glad you think it looks decent because now that I've done it I see all of the flaws. xP
DeleteThe dust makes the mirror such an artistic reflective surface though, ne? Imouto, you are too kind.
Oh, but I like it! It does look professional as well, at least in the photo that capture the said fraction of a second. It's so pretty. ^_^
