Unfocused: Kelly Rowland
In a previous post, I bitched about botching a roll of film back in September when I was in NYC for fashion week. One of my biggest heartaches from that jacked roll was the shots that I got of Kelly Rowland as she made her way out of Lincoln Center.
The other day, I decided to revisit that roll to see if my feelings changed on any of the images.
I rediscovered the image above and the strange thing is that I now love it for everything that it is not; properly exposed & totally out of focus.
I love it because you can feel the eye contact, playful smile, and beautiful skin through the missed focus.
Not my usual offering but sometimes different is good even when it’s all accidental.
It looks very dreamy like a dream sequence in a movie! Nice! I met her once. She seemed cool.

I love it. Sometimes the mistakes are the best ones.
Jealous!
she is so pretty. like 70’s black movie chick pretty.
I love the texture provided by the film. For some reason, it is appealing particularly because it is out of focus. All of the texture and imperfections create an entirely different feeling than if it were a digitally taken, or enhanced image. Nice!
Thx for the feedback friends. I was really nervous about posting this because Im really funny about detail & sharpness.
Working past my own expectations and making the best out of a mistake was an interesting artistic process to say the least!
