photographic intimacy

there is something inherently intimate about digitally enhancing someone's portrait.

having to examine the face while the eyes are staring/smiling at you; having to rid the person of a double outline (when camera shakes) positively makes me blush: you have to zoom right in and lightly brush away the double where the outline of the face is, you have to do the same for the rims and corners of the ears -

it's like caressing someone with that someone smiling at you, warm and welcoming that it is you.


...digital imaging. it is sensuous.
