I don't remember the original inspiration, just that it took a lot of walking to find the right combo of flower and Sun angle to pull it off.

@jerzone how is that not your profile pic yet?! πŸ˜‚
@tsadiq oh, good idea ":^)
@jerzone frankly, it works even better than i thought it would πŸ‘Œ

@jerzone That's fantastic!

Inspiration was possibly Antoinne?

I don't think it was that one, but that is excellent.

@jerzone @antoinnesterk Oooh, pleased at the possibility of there being more, I like them very much!
@eclectech @antoinnesterk
I took mine in 2024 after a mt bike accident left me with no other option but to walk all of the time. ":^)
@jerzone @antoinnesterk Ooof. Hope that is fully recovered now. Feels like quite a brutal way to end up with an excellent self portrait.
@jerzone @eclectech I try do one like that each year, but I will not claim I invented this one. Many people did it before and hopefully many will follow πŸ‘
@antoinnesterk @jerzone I need a nice hashtag to follow to see them all. I am *definitely* going to be on the lookout for a suitable photo opp during my walks this spring and summer.
@eclectech @jerzone Well, the classic one is "Canyon de Chelley" by Lee Friedlander, right?
@Daniel_Pagenstecher @jerzone That's great, but the flowers for eyes are missing! 🌸 🌸
@jerzone Hard Pan Labyrinth's Hand Man vibes here. 😁
Love it.

@jerzone The one I remember is this one that might be reddit OC? idk https://redd.it/v22ej3

Edit: it seems to be plausibly credited to Lasse Nilsson: https://lfi-online.de/en/gallery/Lasse-Nilsson/Selfie-1852227.html

@MHLoppy That's the one! I wasn't able to replicate that pose, the closest I got was this but the eyes were all wrong.

@eclectech @antoinnesterk

@jerzone nice!..☺☺☺☺☺
@jerzone very cool and creative
@jerzone All that’s missing is a little dew to give you heiligenschein. 😜
@jerzone
Yes, I've seen a similar image recently. I think your photo has better "eye" spacing.
@jerzone worth the effort, that is pretty cool
@jerzone
Nickname Black Eyed Susan ?
Or perhaps Rudy Beckia πŸ˜‰
@jerzone Massive Attack album cover vibes
@jerzone This looks cool cover page for the series "From"

@jerzone Oh, Jer. Your photo is so nice!

#jerzone :)

Bill

@jerzone

Giving me folk horror thoughts

@jerzone serious Annihilation vibes :)
@awhite @jerzone My immediate reaction also!
@jerzone that’s a photo of c3p0 #StarWars
@jerzone That's terrifying and wonderful. I love it!
