My beautiful friend Zentrinity commented on my lioness photo last week and had asked if I was a Leo... she gave me this idea!
I'm actually a Gemini. I honestly don't believe in all that tarot card, fortune telling stuff but I can't help but to feel like I match the description of a Gemini.
I have a hard time making descions by myself and am one of those people that needs that reassurance that I'm making the right descion and because of that I procrastinate and take 20 x longer making descions.
I'm either ice or fire when when I get upset, either I will walk away or blow up.
I'm kind of sensitive, my feelings can get hurt over little things.
I like micro managing, sometimes I trip over my own word's and piss people off. :S
I'm very forgetful, I have the worst memory ever!
I'm a bit of perfectionist I hate having a messy house or car and am constantly cleaning.
I love talking and sometimes it's hard to get me to shut up. :}
My interests are endless and it's hard to let myself take a break from thinking so much.
Well those were the cons... the pros are... well I'll get back to you on that ;} lol
Happy Thursday everyone!
BAM 35/52
I'd say naughty meet nice, but uh...both sides are a shade naughty.....ahem.
(ducking past girl scouts naughty and "accidentally" dropping my gum naughty ....more so than I'm implying anything untasteful...... but you catch my drift.)

This was really inspired by split personality disorder, but you know, I think I could do a whole 365 of me just drawing stuff on my face and trying to present each one with a different creative aspect.
THAT would be a challenge.
Honestly, when I click on my [manipulations.] set, my heart twinges that the set isn't my actual stream. I love them, it's what I'd prefer to do....but I just don't have the time to produce a massive photo manip every day. *sigh*
Anyways. I took about 20 shots, and forced myself to stop on this one( 4 shots in)when I filtered through my results....simply because if I kept going I'd end up with outtakes....and I don't want to edit any more. ;-)
Split, crazy girl, signing out.

See you on the other side.
Today's Random Fact This is my messiest 'drawn on' endeaver to date.
Funniest part was my husband calling me mid-shoot.
Here's the conversation:
him:"What'cha doing?"
me: "my picture"
him: "What's your picture?"
me: "I painted half my face with eyeshadow"
him: "What?! Isn't eyeshadow expensive??"
me: "It's black."
"oh. okay"
haha....I think I have too much black eyeshadow after that response...LMAO.

I tried this concept once before a few months ago, but I did it in my kitchen with a flash/speedlight. I am not a fan of flash (translation = don't really know how to use it!), so I decided to try this again, but outside this time using natural light.
Oh, and apologies for the rather uneven slices...cutting things straight is a challenge for me!

Two souls merging into one person
Each person has two parts of them: one being the distinct personality which is who they believe they are, and the other a contrastingly concealed part which they might not even know exists within them. One part glimmering in purest light, the other drifting in and out of darkness, the same way good and evil coexist with each other. I like to think that reason is why we can't only be kind, or cruel, all the time - there must be a mix of both, because there are two of us in one body. I may hate the darker part of myself, because it is unkind, heartless, and cold - but without it, the better, brighter half, can not develop from the mistakes that I make.

13th Phobia photo in the series and FGR's Balloons.
social phobia or social anxiety disorder.
I would of complete this earlyer tonight, but its Saturday Night and I have to socialise, its rule lol. So its 2am and its done.
Some one's acount:
"A woman hates to stand in line in the grocery store because she's afraid that everyone is watching her. She knows that it's not really true, but she can't shake the feeling. While she is shopping, she is conscious of the fact that people might be staring at her from the big mirrors on the inside front of the ceiling. Now, she has to talk to the person who's checking out her groceries. She tries to smile, but her voice comes out weakly. She's sure she's making a fool of herself. Her self-consciousness and anxiety rise to the roof... read more
Thats just one stories there are others. I'm just raising awareness.

"It's not like my mother is a maniac or a raving thing. She just goes a little mad sometimes."
('Norman Bates' by McFarlane Toys / Movie Maniacs Series 2)
I know I am not alone in the fact that I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. I decided to practice portrait lighting on myself, eek!! So many lessons learned, the first of which is at my age, I need diffused light and soft focus! Also, I had just returned from Jazzercise and hadn't cleaned up for the day so next on the list would be to groom oneself. I can now see why I got called Grandma last week, somehow I feel younger than I look. Though to be fair I was with my 24 and 4 yr old daughters so maybe it was a reasonable assumption for the store clerk.
My resolutions are to keep working at lighting and to continue my exercise routine. Last year I logged 189 days at the gym and that doesn't include days I went running or worked out at home. I have a nice streak going on myFitnesspal too, 549 days :) Once I start a routine I am pretty dedicated to sticking to it.

"It's sad, when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. But I couldn't allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They'll put him away now, as I should have years ago. He was always bad, and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man... as if I could do anything but just sit and stare, like one of his stuffed birds."

The lichen seem to have found that this post has two personalities and prefer one to the other.
"Split Personality" (dissociative identity disorder) is a topic of intense controversy in the professional psych community (i.e. does it exist or not).* However, it has been and continues to be a topic in pop culture (e.g. Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 1886).

In my album: Dan's Funny Stuff.
Last Night I had a tough decision to go out or stay in. Before I made my decision to stay in, there was a stand-off. The homebody won and I stayed in. I'd been dying to do a double exposure self portrait for a long time anyway, so I worked on this shot. I had plenty of time to do it since the cable wasn't working.
And by the way, that's my new love seat! Yeah!

About:
For the photoclub at Fluxys the next assignment is something creative, I had some ideas: the mashup of the previous upload was one of them, another was lightpainting and a multi exposure thing. For the last one I wanted something unusual first I was thinking about ghost leaving my body, then I came up with split personality idea. First I was thinking clothed-naked, but I found this a little inappropriate, then I thought maybe clothed and swim suit, but the difference between the two is to great.
Then I came up with this idea: One side as clothed as runner and one as cyclist, looked around my small appartement and found this location something special with the picture frame above me to fill in that space.
Pre processing
Camera on tripod, with wired remote control programmed to take a picture every 10 seconds.
On the right of me was a silver screen to provide some fill-in light
Also on the right was a off camera flash to 1/40 to fill in the dark spots and give a highlight in my eyes
Camera was put on rear-curtain flash sync.
Took about 30 shots as runner and 30 as cyclist always trying to sit in the same position
Location:
At home in Boechout, Belgium
Technical stuff:
Exposure: 0,6 sec at f/8,0 at 0 EV
Taken with: Nikon D300S and 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 at 44mm
Post processing
Merged two different shots: one clothed as runner and one as cyclist.
Used the one as runner as background layer.
Pasted in a new layer with the cyclist as extra layer
Added mask to cyclist layer just around the body of the cyclist. Cleanup of the sides of the mask.
The face didn't align up perfectly but it was a close match, so I selected the runners head and used puppet warp to get it properly aligned.
Now it was time to touch up the wire from the headphone and fill in the blanks left from the puppet warp.
Next up were the removal of the electrical outlet and a speaker which was hanging on the wall.

Diorama by RK
"In Norman's case, he was simply doing everything possible to keep alive the illusion of his mother being alive. And when reality came too close, when danger or desire threatened that illusion - he dressed up, even to a cheap wig he bought. He'd walk about the house, sit in her chair, speak in her voice. He tried to be his mother ! And, uh... now he is. "
