This was my seventh shot (angle/arrangement of objects). There's a small chance I'll re-do it one more time with the light coming from the lower left (so the wall's not so bright in the upper right, the dresser drawer-pulls are visible below the clock, the hair-drier is slightly visible [to subconsciously suggest "hair style"], and the ponytail has a little more deliberate attention drawn to it), but I think this one is passable. I did originally want to show the ponytail hanging on something, to be more reminiscent of the way we see it on her head, but I think this is okay. I like the way the ponytail looks -- but I worry that I only like it because I already know what it is. What do you think??
So -- first there's a shot of Christine/Vitta in Los Angeles in 2012, pretending to be Marissa in Somerville, MA in 2002, waking up with a pillow over her head; she looks up; insert this! (Rachel EA's bedroom in Arlington, MA in 2013); cut back to 2012 Vitta in bed; dissolve to Carson Beach, South Boston, in 2002 and Marissa watching the sun rise!
I would have preferred to have liked the shot I got at 5:04, because 5:17 is a little late for her to get up, get dressed, and get down to the beach before the sun comes up. We'll just have to pretend (" ") that the whole thing happens in early-mid August instead of July, so the sun rises a little later.
In other news --
I went to Goodwill -- no good Bill wall clocks. Then went across the street to Family Dollar, which was supposedly having a "clearance" sale. There was one giant wall clock that I would have been tempted to buy if it were not $20 and/or quite to giant, and I seriously considered getting a $6 one of a goofy CHEF! But it was just too ugly. Had these shots been for the kitchen, I probably would have gotten it, but it would never fly in the dining room. Too bad. I shall keep looking.
