Escapism as language

Escapism as language, originally uploaded by edfooliu.

So I _did_ have photos queued up for a few posts to the blog last week, but
Fallout 3 came on Tuesday.

And so went most waking moments from that point on. This is, however, not a
videogame-as-art blog, so I'll leave it at that.

As for the shot, I was initially displeased with this, since the lighting
from the back cast Vault Boy in nasty shadows. Since I was too lazy to
rearrange the scene, I took another shot, overexposing to blow out Vault
Boy's face (I was stupid and deleted it, so no comparo here). This shot
grew on me a bit. the shadows add a bit of a sinister vibe to it, which is
fitting. What I did want to try (but will have to wait until the next
morning sunlight) was cranking ISO to get a grainy texture to it. Maybe
that and overexposing for a surreal effect.
