The Hanging Tree
🕑 Added 2022-12-04 19:37:53 +0000 UTCAre you, are you comin' to the tree?
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
This song inspired me to create this set of self-portraits. Not gonna lie - I had a hard time making theese. Finding the right tree was the first problem, then running and climbing on tree naked second. Also editing was not easy because for some reason I didn't like the colours and location that much. I am really affraid I have an art block.
I've taken few really beautiful photos in the past and it's hard to beat them now. Also when I see other artists and the wonderful places they shoot in I think I can't compete with them at all. I compare myself to more experienced photographers and in my head I think I'll never be as good as them. I know two years of doing photography is not that much but I want to be better with every shot and because of that I put a lot of pressure on myself.
Hopefully this state will pass soon - as it did in the past. I won't stop taking photos of course. If you have any advice for me I will love to hear them.
Love, Erinthul.

I think it's something in the collective. I've been feeling a bit of a creative rut myself. It'll pass eventually. I enjoyed these. I'm not sure if you are desaturating the skin tone on the naked version of you in the tree, or if you are just that cold lol, but it's kind of spooky. I thought it was a dead body in the first few images.
