I've always wanted communist hair ... wild, untamed curls; rebellious ringlets; sexy tousled tresses with their own manic manifesto.
I do not have communist hair. My hair is quite compliant and well-behaved. In fact, my hair is probably the only well-behaved part of me.
So for the communist hair element of this shot, I had to use a wig -- a tousled, rebellious stunt double for my own tame tresses.
And then, while putting it on, I noticed the label: "made in china."
So I guess I really DO have communist hair. heh.
Here are the elements for Iron Photographer 35:
1 - communist hair
2 - a reflective surface
3 - sepia
The first element, communist hair, might need a bit of explaining. It's a term coined by our own Jamelah, who defines it as "wild and unruly and pretty much always fighting some sort of revolution." It doesn't have to be YOUR communist hair. We're not going to check the hair's provenance. It doesn't even have to be human hair. It could even belong to a wig. The important thing is that it looks like it's willing to take to the barricades.
The second element is a reflective surface. That's pretty self explanatory. We don't care what the reflective surface is. A mirror. Water. A window. Nor do we care what's reflected in the surface (with the usual disclaimer about nudes if you want to post the photo in the group pool).
Finally, we want the image to be sepia tinted. I think that's pretty clear.
