I get an opportunity every now and then to work on my more artistic photo project, “Girl in the Polka Dotted Dress,” and today was one of those days.
The dress is actually my sister’s; and a little too big, so I have to pin it to keep it from falling off of me. A real trick when I’m out in public. But today I stayed indoors.
I used to shoot a mask series, and this rabbit mask is one of my favorite props. He was just staring at me today begging to help me out with my photos.
I had a lot of fun.

Ok, I’m nowhere near being in Vivian Maier’s shadow, but this is more of an ode to one of her self-portraits.
She is definitely one of my favorite photographers. She has a new book out on her self-portraits. I can’t wait!!!!

Well, I don’t call it Photos and Migraines for nothing. I had a doozy of a headache today. I stayed home from work, too. That has only happened once before in my 30 years of dealing with these stupid things.
But anyway, I stepped outside later in the afternoon today and noticed these shadows. Instant photo of the day.
Now, I have an appointment with Mr. Couch and an Atlanta Braves baseball game. My hope is the headache will leave me soon.

I had to run to Southeastern Salvage today for a prop for a photo and could not resist taking a photo of this mirror section.
This warehouse has all kinds of stuff from all over the world – AND free popcorn and lemonade on the weekend. What more could you want?

The few minutes I have to myself each day is in the morning. I usually use that time to wake up, get rid of my daily caffeine headache and do various chores.
This morning was no different – except I noticed I might be able to shoot my snapshot of the day early.
Two self-portraits in a row. Hmm. Oh well. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

I couldn’t resist shooting this. It’s a direct copy of a photo by my new favorite photographer, Vivian Maier. But since I couldn’t find anything else, I decided to use it as a tribute to her.
Be sure to check out the trailer of an upcoming documentary on her life. There is also a new book coming out this fall of her self-portraits.
In case you care, my other favorite photographers are Sally Mann and Diane Arbus.

Boo. This one is not that great. Oh well. I’m rusty on my self-portraits. It was easier when I was using masks. But I may start an “Un-Masked” series. My excuse: I have had a migraine for the past several days. Yeah, that’s it.

I couldn’t resist. A Coke delivery truck pulled up next to me while I was trying to decide what my photo of the day would be.
Hmmm. I decided to take it as a sign considering I have such an addiction to Coca Cola. My mouth literally waters whenever I see the logo and their signature color red.
Perhaps it is because Coke has such a history in this city.
Nope. It’s the sugar and caffeine. Definitely.
