Embedded subconscious inspiration OR coincidence
« on: July 09, 2009, 06:24:39 PM »
PJ Harvey comes up on shuffle so I decide to look for vids of her on youtube because I'm a big fan and PJ Harvey remains for me the one "celebrity" that I would like to... like, you know... more than anyone and I kinda needed to see her.

So I like her old B&W vids, like Man-Size and Dress.  I love the song Dress, one of my favorites.  So I click on it and, damn.  I'm seeing real similarities between it and the photo series I just did (click first sig).  Maybe it's the sparkly stockings  -- which are the model's and was her idea to wear, so that suggests coincidence -- but the whole theme a bit, too, and the visual style. 

Have you discovered that you unconsciously were inspired by something, unawares until later?

Anyway, enjoy PJ.    :)

Thanks.  :)  I get bored quickly.  Going back and forth between the Diana and the Leica and black & white and color keeps me sane, sort of.
