I Do What I Can (Inspiration)

I love this photo. I'm really happy Tony was willing to give it a try for me. I found the lips on a lollipop around Halloween and I didn't have a dollar in my wallet, but I had to have them. I sat them on my desk and waited for something to come to me. I thought of a Mr. Potato Head type of photo, but eyes were going to be difficult. I had no idea what to use that would stick to the real eyes (without causing damage). I had nothing.

Weeks later, my bulbs burned out in my track lights, just two of them. I changed them and sat the burnt out bulbs on my desk. Don't ask why I didn't just throw them away. I don't know why. I don't throw anything out that I can use for a photo shoot. Or I give it a week or two of sitting around and if I can't think of anything, I let it go to the trash bin. It took at least a week before I looked at them and held them up to my eyes. I found the eyes to go with my lips, he would have to hold them up, but I was OK with that.

I wish I knew how or why these things pop into my head, but I don't. I wish more things would pop into my head as people are always asking me to come up with concepts for them. I do what I can with what I have.
