28/03/2009 (Day 3.87) - KK

Today FGR invades TRP

And TRP invades FGR.

Our task was to find a picture in the other group which we liked, and do a tribute or copycat.

There's a lot of stuff to choose from, even allowing for the fact that the material only dates from January 2009 onwards.

Faced with this plethora of goodies I decided to set some criteria in order to limit my options.

(i) I only wanted to do one picture covering both groups, so the picture I chose must be in both groups.

(ii) Since I am a fan of useful tagging, the picture must be picked up by a search on 'fgr' and 'trp'.

(iii) In the past I have copycatted pictures by women. I wanted to skip anything that involved sexy leg shots, high heels, pearls or frocks. So I decided that my chosen picture would be from a man.

(iv) I didn't want anything which involved complicated props or locations.

(v) I was going to keep my clothes on.

Armed with that list I did my search, and came up with a few possible candidates. However I settled on this one by Brian Hughes. I liked the idea of copycatting something where the criteria was a simple, uncluttered shot with a little bit of depth of field.

What I ended up with is, as you can see, not really a copy. Consider it to be 'inspired by' the original photo.

The 'KK' logo is the one that I used for my 'Hero' shot on Day 3.27. It was designed by Tyla for a tribute shot she did last year. The logo is a large paper version I have stuck to the side of my computer desk. Just so that I know where it is if I ever need it :-)

A year ago today I was dancing with the cat.
