Not over but ....deep thoughts
Is the pink over? It's not but it's been in hiding....
I have been looking at all the pink clothes in my closet and wondering how I actually got myself to make this kind of commitment. In new york city! I'm sorry but this city is fairly anti pink when it comes to men wearing it. Trust me. I know.
I want to finish this performance up properly....so what I have planned is to ask all of my photographer friends to take a day and spend it with me in head to toe pink for the last two months. I was always so afraid to focus a camera on myself because there is no way out of a photograph. You know what I mean? This performance is a lot of personal inward reaction to how the public sees me. The process of taking physical documentation was not on my mind for most of the project, getting through the day was.
So here goes: I promise to take a photo of myself in head to toe pink everyday for the rest of the year. If there are any photographers who want to help please contact me at morty@mortydiamond.com

life/performance - the end
the failure seemed imminent. i was dreading the color from day to day. sure, there were highlights, though none of them super spectacular. i have had seven good months of dealing with a life in head to toe pink and i think the moment has come where this performance must end. and so it is.
i want to express how it feels to be in a living performance. i will but not during this post. just know that this was a hard decision to make and i am ending it knowing that much more about my boundaries and where living your life and performance split.
