I’m a born procrastinator. I can put anything off for a very long time, including getting laid sadly. Sometimes procrastinating can work in my favour. I had an idea several months ago for a photoshoot that I wanted to do with a guy I know, but I didn’t want to approach him as he is, along with being very beautiful, quite cocky and sometimes very arrogant and I just didn’t want to deal with it so I left it.
In the meantime the idea has been germinating and evolving. I had thought about applying the same idea, which involved a form of bodypainting, to a few different suitable potential models/friends that I know. This week I finally admitted that the initial bodypainting part of the idea will be too hard but I’ve come up with a solutioin that will actually work much better I think and be much easier.
I won’t tell what it is now, but once I work out where and how I’m going to set up a bit of a studio setup and start shooting for the series, I’ll keep you all informed, but I’m actually really excited about how it’s going to look.
Wow - I did some bodypainting modelling back in my ballet days and I loved it. Looking forward to this one mate.
Hey Brenton,
Advice from an expert?
Never put off until tomorrow anything that can safely wait until next week / next month / next year!
I’ve procrastinated all my life. Now I am putting of growing up and growing old!
Cheers, Polomint
PS Sadly I’ve been very poor at putting off getting laid - just can’t get the hang of that one [;)]
maybe after such a long procrastination your creativity will only increase. i once made a body-art party, it was real fun. maybe u could do it as well and invite this guy and introduce him to the idea…
There is proscrastination and then there is mulling…allowing an idea to “ferment” so to speak. With the first, I would put issues such as putting off something that needs to be done and time wont change that (eg…Like getting laid!!). Mulling….I would say is when you get a creative idea and allow it to take form or shape…ferment so to speak. So Brenton…it would seem you are a procrastinator and a muller!! Cheers (by the way….I am also!!)
ooh sounds interesting B. Can’t wait to see the finished product …
