ONCE AGAIN I’ve avoided the obvious route for this week’s Project 52 theme, colorblind.
YES it occurred to me that I could take a nice and simple black and white photo.
YES it occurred to me to make a political statement about interracial relationships.
YES it occurred to me that I could forsake all I hold dear and create my most despised of images: the selective color photo. *skin begins to crawl*
(No idea what the hell I’m talking about? It’s the photographic equivalent of brushing your teeth and drinking orange juice. Here’s a post of “outstanding” selective color photos. I know a lot of people really like these but I find them obvious and feel that if you’re doing your job as a photographer you don’t need to cram the focus of the image down my throat by making it stand out in such an intrusive way. I think every single photo in that post would have been a stronger image if done in either full color or black and white. End rant here.)
AND THEN it occurred to me (because my mind is warped in ways even I don’t understand) that I could address the question of whether or not werewolves would adopt the canine attribute of colorblindness. So there you have it. That was the “great” inspiration. I was told these images are dark but I find them humorous once placed in context…but remember, my mind is warped so who am I to say…
ARE WEREWOLVES COLORBLIND?
9/52
Theme: Colorblind
Titles: Lycanthropy no1 & Lycanthropy no2
*note: it’s really hard to see at this size in the first image, easier in the second, but I do, actually, have pointy wolf ears and fangs. If there were a way for me to show these to you in full print resolution (think 12×12) then the details would be clearer. Sorry for the loss of detail that inevitably happens when sizing for the web. *pouty face*
SO WHAT do you think? Are werewolves colorblind? What human traits, if any, do you think they would have? And most importantly, is it weird that these are the things I think about when I’m relaxing? Yeah. It’s weird. I know. But I’m okay with it. At least I’m always entertained.
Kisses & Chaos,

I’ve been having an issue lately with people stealing my work and I hate being a hard ass. I always find the thieves eventually and I am a hard ass, but I hate it. A lot.

It takes two seconds and unless you’re using it for something horrible, trying to claim it as your own, allowing people to download it or trying to sell it I’ll probably say it’s fine. Just quit with the f*cking stealing. Okay? ::
