Player Photograph by rongo rongo
September 21st, 2008 12:00 AMSo instead I decided to photograph the shadow of my hands, making the shadow using a technique similar to that used by Cro-Magnon cave painters, rock artists, and nursery school kids. (Spit paint at your hands.) Except I have substituted non pareils sprinkles for the traditional paint. I probably associate colored sprinkles and hands because of the book cover photo for "A Million Little Pieces." (Which I have not read, but apparently the book cover has made quite an impression.)
One interesting thing I learned is that if you put a lot of non pareil sprinkles into your mouth, your spit turns black.

I intellectually know that if you mix up rainbow colors you get black, but it still always surprises me when it happens.
So I am assuming you spit those pareils out onto your hands like they did with berries? Awesome.
I'd always just assumed your pic was of one of those toys made of blunt pins that you push your hands into. spitting hundreds and thousands like a cave man is way way cooler!
I was also mistaken, thinking that this was just a noisy or noise-added photo, a picture of enhanced light in the dark around the hands. Being filled with sprinkles is much cooler than I'd realized.
Mmm, sprinkles. (Actually, it's not really as tasty as one might hope.)
The sprinkles photo is so creative - what on earth made you think of it?
Vote?
I'm slightly obsessed with rock art, so wanted to do something similar.
Count me as another person who thought that was sand or something and was pleasantly surprised
Just a suggestion here, but sprinkles taste much better if there is frosting and then cupcake underneath them. Just saying.
A vote cause I like that you always write nice comments to the completions you like!
Yay for nice comments!
...the middle shot is a beaut, except that it makes me dizzy because it's slightly out-of-focus, haven't decided if I like that or not. (Being dizzy).
