I wanted my first posting here to be profound, or at the very least thought-provoking.

As of yet, however, I have thought of nothing to say which falls into that category. The world is in chaos; simple truths become harder and harder to pin down.

There were many options on the proverbial table. An introduction to this gallery (patronizing - let the work speak and the viewers think for themselves). A personal profile and bio (ye gods, not that!). A mission statement (when the reality is that I have no particular mission, nor any aim at all; like the world, I am a product of the chaos theory). An essay on my spiritual dependence on the parenthetical remark (grammar geek humour, what next?).

But, to be honest, words are losing their meaning. As Eddie Izzard illustrates:

"And you need 'awesome' ... You're going to be going to the next Sun, to us, and your president is going to be like, 'Can you tell me, astronaut, tell me what it's like?'
'It's awesome, sir.'
'What, like a hot dog?'
'Like a hundred billion hot dogs, sir.'"

There's always the little trick of using archaic or underused words to invoke some sense of elevated meaning, though I surmise that such anachronistic comportment on my part would baffle and flummox, though to quicken the muse of your métier be my basal intent. Well, that, and it would require too much time with a thesaurus.

But in the end, words aren't what this page is about. They are a good marker, though. At the moment, with the 1,000 word value and 25 photos posted, novella status is being reached.

I guess that means it's time to stop rambling.

Now, on to the practical matters ...

What I post here is not stock. In spite of that, I know that people are going to use photos for art models one way or another. Some of the greatest professionals working today still clip pictures out of magazines to use as background models. It's the way of the world, and I'm guilty of it myself.
I do, however, request you use common courtesy when you do so:

RULES OF USE

- Let me know if you have used one of my pictures (you don't have to let me know if you 'are going to' - I know that sketchbooks are filled with attempts which never see the light of day).
- No simple tints and crops, please. Unique manipulations, digital paintings and traditional art only.
- Nothing too sordid. I'll let you be the judge. If it feels like it fits into fantasy or macabre instead of fetish, it is probably fine.
- Send me a link to a relatively high-resolution copy, so I can print off a copy for my own personal (unpublished, only one copy) use. And send me a link to the DA version, so I can give you the credit you deserve. :)
- That works both ways. Link back to the original. Much obliged!


Enjoy,

Perian aka Chandra.
