Home alone at last; naked and un-American
It’s been a month since I was last alone. Solitary in that naked-in-your-room-listening-to-loud-music kind of way. First I was in the Faroes for three weeks. And then, for the past week, I had a case of the Americans.
Noisy Americans. Young Americans that run circles around my tired, old bones. Even during the few times I’ve found myself alone in my room the sound of their raucous laughter and singing always seemed to find its way to my bedroom
But… their enthusiasm is infectious. I always find there’s a lot more energy that lies dormant just waiting to be tapped into — and being surrounded by tireless, happy-go-lucky Americans is certainly one way to rediscover that energy and thus your youth.
I hopped and cavorted and even danced a little this week. I know… scary.
But now they’re gone! And I’m naked and slouching in my computer chair! Miles Davis’ muted toots and squeals ooze from my speakers. I am blissfully alone.
Now, because my I’m woefully exhausted, you simply get a few photos that’ll hopefully make your Monday morning a whole lot less tired and dull:
I have a landscape version where the rays of sunshine are more visible towards the horizon, but I like this one because of the awesome clouds towards the top of the frame — and the blue! Where did the hint of blue come from…?
Next, a totally disgusting photo of me and two girls. I assure you, despite what it looks like, I didn’t ‘get some’. I’m far too camp for most girls to take seriously. I must go about fixing that some day.
Two great things about this photo: I’m huge (well, they’re tiny); and the little sock. To find out what happened next, you’ll have to visit my Flickr stream.
And finally, a dopey picture of me and one of my photos that was on display last week at an exhibition/gallery (there were actually three photos hung, but I just wanted to show you some proof!):
Those of you that have already bought prints probably just had their value double. Cool huh? I’m still trying to get my head around selling art and the crazy way it’s valued. I’ll work it out eventually and make a million, just you watch!
I have a lot of other pretty photos that I may post later today; will try my best. Otherwise, a happy Monday to you all!

August 10th, 2009 at 8:23 ami’m thinking of selling art as well.. hm. stock photog maybe.
Well done on the gallery thang. Seriously your blog takes me at least ten minutes to load. Bizarre.
Hmm.
August 10th, 2009 at 10:55 amI also play video games naked, Floreta… it stops me getting frustrated for just a little longer, if I’m not tied down by CLOTHES.
If you wanna do stock photography, go for it — but you need to sell a LOT and be very, very good (lights, models, props…) to make decent money.
It takes ages for me too Kali, which is why I will try to fix it today
August 10th, 2009 at 11:00 amYay for the gallery!
Which gallery is it? *generic search engine ready in a new window*
August 10th, 2009 at 2:02 pmThat’d be tellin’!
August 10th, 2009 at 2:05 pmCongrats on the photos in the gallery. Good to know that I made a good investment.
August 10th, 2009 at 3:47 pmMeany. :p
But still well done.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:00 pmI can’t believe how tall you are compared to them…I imagine you could make me feel teeny and thats never been done before so it would be quite the accomplishment.
Sidenote: Your photos from this trip were really amazing. They usually are, but these landscapes really made an impact on me.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:13 pmGlad ya liked ‘em, Josie
They were even more fun to take!
Yours in particular will be worth a lot Candace, as I won’t be doing any more large versions of that particular photo, I think (nor any of the other Italian ones).
I am pretty big, yes…
August 10th, 2009 at 5:14 pmHave you been selling many photos? I’ve been wondering how that was going. Hopefully well!
August 10th, 2009 at 10:01 pmYeah! Believe it or not, they’re actually selling. Not enough to live on just yet, but hopefully in a few months. I need to exhibit a bit more I think; it’s great PR
August 10th, 2009 at 11:43 pmDude, that is awesome! Congrats!
August 11th, 2009 at 2:04 amlol i do find the americans kind of noisy too
(i’m so gonna be killed by my american buddies!)
but yeah, they’re super enthusiastic.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:12 amYou cavorted?!?!
I’m currently in shock.
August 14th, 2009 at 5:46 pmI even quaffed from a mighty stein carved from the horn of a narwhal.
August 14th, 2009 at 5:47 pmthis was one of the more amazing photos I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. Love it.
them be two lucky ladies. And that’s quite an elongated bed to accommodate you, mr seb.
you’re looking rather dapper in that last photo, as well, sir.
August 15th, 2009 at 9:30 amIt’s Queen-size! How fitting for a kinda-man like I…
It’s about 7 foot long. Ideal for… spreading.
Thanks
