The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly - Performance Task - Stirling Kim Moss

Living On The πŸ…¦πŸ…˜πŸ…›πŸ…“πŸ…” Side



The Good



The “good me” is the one that strives to be the best that I can in all aspects of my life, especially
during these last few crucial years of high school that will determine my future. Unlike others, I
consider doing homework a good thing as it is necessary in order to accomplish my long term goals.
So, here I am studying hard in order to achieve that elusive 100% on my next test!
I wanted this photo to appear as though it was taken with a film camera, since I’m considered more
of an old fashioned person. The blur/feathering effect that I produced around the edges was to lead
the viewer's attention to the center of the picture. When people look at this, I want
them to feel nostalgic, like you’re looking into a memory from the past.



The Bad


The “bad me” is the one that likes to live on the edge - at the lunatic fringes once in awhile. When
you work hard at school, you need something or somewhere to vent. That’s why I like jamming to
hard rock music and taking life to its absolute limits - I love the adrenaline rush. I like to try everything
and test the boundaries so that I know what my limitations are and squeeze all the juice out of life
- no regrets. Reflecting back upon one of my favourite quotes, “We are all just stories in the end,
just make it a good one eh?” - The Doctor (Doctor Who). Yes, this side of me will ensure that my
story will be one to remember.
In order to add to the bad boy vibe, I tattooed my Korean name along my forearm, wore a black leather
jacket, lit a spliff, wore a giant silver belt, and a silver neck chain in order to convey the 60’s
biker look. This gives the photo the edgy aura that I was striving for. On top of that, I also
photoshopped the portrait with scratches in order to further develop the vintage/60’s feel.



The Ugly

Ha! - Not a chance.
