I started off having a million words for my core values. Among them were balance, honesty, reciprocal care, reciprocation, detail, faces, shadows, lighting, depth, dimensions, measurements, trust, contrast, differentiation, relativity, subjectivity, distinctiveness, and definition. Of course, like last year, we narrowed everything down to balance. But if i had to choose three, they'd be balance, contrast, and detail. Balance because everything I do and want is balanced. I love symmetry, in fact most of my art is symmetrical. I adore balance in relationships--if someone does something for me, i like to reciprocate that action and if i do something nice for someone, i expect them to do the same for me. Contrast is found throughout all the things i like--i like music with contrasting sounds, a definitive and distinct beat. In my photography, i often overexpose my photos to get a high contrast look. I also often seek and create rich, saturated colors to create even more contrast and distinctiveness. My final core value is detail. I pay such close attention to detail, which is why i can get people to look like people when i draw them (i think?) and why i can remember small things throughout the day or about people, but not as a whole.
My issue is balance, but i don't really know how that's an issue. Perhaps, rather,
imbalance is my issue. Balance is what I seek.
