Living Statue

Living Statue

"Be brave enough to live life creatively." - Alan Alda

This photo was part of my 52 week self portrait project I did back in 2011.
       
I knew I was going to be traveling to Las Vegas and wanted to do some sort of Vegasy self portrait.  I had pre-planned this photo down to every detail so that it wouldn't take as long to complete in person. I end up standing along the strip at one of the entrances to the hotel and casino.  While taking the photos,  people were looking and we joked I could have put a tip can out and made money that day.

As far as the editing for this photo, I did not wear stone make up. I created the stone effects in Photoshop using various photos I took around the area of stone, marble and cement and created a layered effect until I felt I looked enough like a stone statue outside of Caesar's Palace.
