For the ugly project, I wasn't really sure what to do. But fate decided to lend a hand while I was here afterschool in the photo room. This little bug landed right in front of me, and just sat on my keyboard. When I came back with a digital camera, it had moved to a wire. It sat and almost posed in front of me, my own little creepy model. It's kind of cute, once you get used to him. Bugs are usually "visually unappealing," not ugly, considering everything has beauty in it somewhere. That's just the way nature made them. In some photos you can even see the little hairs on its legs. When a bug flies AT YOU, it's also pretty unappealing. It did fly at me a couple of times, which I've realized I'm not personally fond of. This only fueled my choice to use this bug for my ugly project. For my final photo (listed first here), I took a photo of my own glasses on the table and put a more faded image on top of the lenses. This is to represent when someone actually notices a bug, and how terrified some people become. I don't like calling any of these ugly though, because really they're not. They just don't look like something that is stereotypically beautiful.
