A Man and his Dedication (5)

     So had a little difficulty thinking of what I would do this week, but luckily my attire I wear to work at Polo Ralph Lauren gave me the idea of doing a rather uncharacteristicly serious photo of me walking down the stairs to go to work. Wearing a Germany emblem polo definitely gives a feel of seriousness as Germans are well known for their strict disciple and in my opinion this photo makes me think of old World War 2 German propaganda posters of a proper dedicated soldier marching off to his occupation. I completely feel that doing a vertical shot gives the photo of more stern look and I am considering using vertical shots again in the future.

Aaron the spy is back! Yeah, my mom got me a new suit this week and man does it have that spy thriller sheen to it! Though James Bond style is my ideal of spies, a Tuxedo is out of the question due to the fact I am still growing. In my opinion the classy black suit with open top button makes me think of George Clooney from a variety of his films including the Oceans trilogy. A snapple iced tea with two ice cubes in a simple glass definitely gives me the look of a beverage respecting gentlemen with a love for classy wear. Taking this on my deck outlooking the Onion fields in my backyard, is in my opinion a really great background for the photo, seriously in a ton of spy movies the suit wearing protagonist always has a drink on a balcony with an awesome view.

Stone Cold Thriller (3)

     I did want to do another Spy themed photo, but unfortunately the only way to really improve over my first one would be to take a photo with me wearing a Formal suit unfortunately the only suit I have is too small, so I went with a more undercover cop kind of photo this time. Yes, I did photograph myself wearing only an undershirt and an open Hawaiian shirt outside in New York State in February when it was only in the 20s with wind chill. My inspiration came from the Hawaiian shirt, which I had bought the week before at the store I work at, Polo Ralph Lauren. It reminded me alot of the look of 80s cop shows like Miami Vice and Magnum P.I. a theme I thought would be fun to play with. Personally I think I look pretty cool especially with the Manly beard and the Sunglasses, though the glasses I am wearing are not sunglasses just transitional glasses.

Man of Secrets (2)

     I always wanted to use my dad's attaché class in one of my photo projects. I mean for anyone who has seen a James Bond or Spy film, this case looks like it either has secret government files in it or a super gadget. Handcuffing myself to it really makes it look like a legitimate suitcase of secrets especially, when the blinds are closed and there is sneaky pair of sunglasses nearby. After taking my last self portrait downstairs in my living room, I decided to take this one upstairs on the kitchen table, I mean where else would spies exchange secrets if not at a table?
