Day 50: Pick Yourself Up

50/365

July 15, 2009

Last night Garry said something (I forget what) and BAM I had the idea of today's picture be looking at myself. Then I thought it'd be cool to have one of me smiling and the other upset. Then as I was taking pictures I decided to have one of me standing with my head against the wall, looking upset while the other me was holding out her hand to help lift the other up. And this, this is what I came up with.

 

We painted the kitchen yesterday so I had a wonderful blank canvas to take pictures in front of! yay painting! It makes me wish I had my own studio with my own backgrounds. Ah well...sometimes it's nice to have nature in the background. But anyways, I definitely took advantage of that!

 

I've been in such a sour mood all day! My brother got an hour and a half of sleep last night so he was Mr. Cranky Butt today which put me in a fowl mood. Then I spent the day around my mom which never helps my mood. I get so antsy and blah around her...because A. I feel so guilty that one day Garry and I are going to sit her down and completely blind sight her with our plans and B. because she's controlling and doesn't listen to me.

 

Also, I learned today that my sister stopped cutting 50 days ago. As I was uploading this picture I felt it was fitting for that anniversary as well. I'm sure my sister has felt this way numerous times but didn't give into the blade to make her feel. It's a beautiful coincidence that she stopped cutting the same day I started snapping!

TRF: Now that I know more about layers and editing with GIMP I feel as if I can do anything! Yet I have to keep reminding myself...I have a LOT more to learn! I'm actually thinking about taking online "classes" for photography and hopefully start up my own business...eventually!
