I don't understand why she is the opposite of a muse. I imagined that meant that she had the curse of ruining a photographer ( making them quit afterwards; obsessing over her alone, etc) after they took their first photo of her.
- smacktoward 10y agoShe's the opposite of a muse because a muse is someone photographers would all be chasing to photograph, whereas in this case she's the one who does the chasing. She identifies photographers she likes and reaches out to them, not the other way around.
- benologist 10y agoIsn't a muse traditionally a source of inspiration that fuels your creativity?
- wccrawford 10y agoI've been watching a lot of Project Runway lately, and they muddy the word muse, too. Sometimes you can stretch it and say it's still the source of their inspiration, but something they're given a "muse" and forced to work with them, which to me isn't a "muse" at all, but instead they're a "client".
- dec0dedab0de 10y agoThat's the definition I was thinking of. I was expecting it to be about people in your life that sap your drive and inspiration.
- shmageggy 10y agoAgreed. I expected what you described. I'd call her more like the inverse of a muse, rather than the opposite.
