Time for Change

Because change is good

I changed my signature once again, although I haven’t uploaded the pics yet. It seems as if I’m not satisfied with what I have, that as soon as I like something I quickly find another thing to replace it. But the thing is that I don’t see how I’ll be able to create another signature from the signature I presently have since it’s as basic as it gets. I don’t know if you remember but at first it was this huge “c” with a somewhat little “g” inside of it, completed by a dot at the two extremities of the “c”. Although it created a logo as well, the whole arrangement of letters was quite concentrated and brought all of the attention to one specific, unwanted, focal point in the image. Well that signature transformed into this “cedric.gigoux” but with a lot of spacing between each character, which was visually appealing and modern but at the same time very irritating to fit into the entire image without overlaying on different colors. Now I decided to go basic and simple by removing the spacing between the characters and changing the font to create a more contracted signature for maximum space in the picture as well as adding visibility, and not an unwanted focal point.

Baby, I like it when you look at me...

Today I really had nothing to do, so I took my brother’s iPod Toutch and I went through some of his new songs. I fell on one in particular named “Don’t Trust Me” from 3HO!3, an artist I had never heard of until now. The song is so provocative that it’s good. I personally am not a revealing person and I hate being in uncomfortable situations, but the lyrics have this realism embedded in them to make everything sound so much more familiar. And you know how some songs are energetic, like you listen to them and they boost your self-esteem. Well this song makes you want to get out there and pick a fight, and of course win.

I’ve been looking through modeling agencies lately. I’m kind of interested in giving it a shot, and you can’t blame me since when you start photography they are 3 major domains which are related in which you can expand : fashion, modeling, and medias. I’m sure they are more, but those are the 3 main ones. As I was saying, I found an agency thanks to one of my friends, who is a model. But you see, I don’t feel as if I have what it takes, first of all I’m to short, I’m 5’8’’ while the minimum height for men my age is 5’10’’…but on the other hand I’m only 16 and you don’t stop growing until you’re 19. I don’t know why but it seems as if I have some self-esteem issues on which I’ll have to work on since people clearly come up to me and tell me that I have what it takes. Now there’s only one person who can make the decision, and that’s me…I’ll have to sleep on it.

Even though I talked about the song “Don’t Trust Me” in my post as the song of the day, I’m actually putting “Operator” by Shiloh in the Daily Beat since it’s a song which I can refer to…well…not directly. You see, the author of the song is sending out the message that she doesn’t want to be that perfect “Barbie” figure like everyone else in modern society, but more like somebody unique. Obviously a guy can’t have a perfect “Barbie” figure…unless they were some transformations. In my case I’m just referring to myself as being somebody unique, having a familiar face but at the same time keeping something original and creative to my personality.

That’s enough for tonight; I hope you all a good night and have fun!
