Created for Faestock Challenge #80
Love the purple dress, so it influenced the entire colour scheme and look of this comp created for the Faestock Challenge. Oh, and I threw in the horse coz I think he's cool :)
This was an exercise in restraint. Not to go so heavy-handed with my usual post process. Avoid hard shadows and just make it a bit softer than usual.
What LEGO means in my eyes and why LEGO is different from other common toys and why I love it so much :)

With thanks to Skagitrenee for both images in this challenge.
Created for the Award Tree's ~ Art With Text. ~ challenge.
A real mish-mash of stuff used here: four or five Microsoft Word documents with various fonts (Bahnschrift SemiLight SemiConde, ROG FONTS to name two), cropped, resized and colour-filled in Photoshop, everything then stuck into Photomatix Pro, tonemapped and finally combined with previously unused DABC #600, final flourishes back at the ol' PS lab using the Nik Collection add-on. Phew!
Spilling out into the night, the air slapping at their sweaty and flushed faces, the SeeBee defensive line - the one with the core, a Cap and a whole bunch of hooligans masquerading under the banner of Dan, variations one through eight – celebrated with a hoot, three hollers and a whole six-pack of gang-gum stylings designed to set the world on fire. The sheer levity brought about by these loveable, disgusting creatures of the gong, reeked of disillusion, straight-up bravado and all the squeaky, tin monkeys money could buy. “Don’t let the luster blind you,” pointed out one of the on-lookers, digging feverishly at the tapioca ice-cream bowl before her, “these cats can jam flat a back sass of the most gruesome kind, “again stabbing her parfait spoon deeper, “and all before eight on a Sunday.” The motor was left running. The dimes fell to the floor. The shoe shine boy folded his tent, bid a tra-la and sauntered down the alleyway, oblivious to all the temptations within.
When I think about the kind of person I really am at heart, I'd describe myself first and foremost as an introvert. Some people laugh at this because my work suggests otherwise but the reality is that it took me years to find the courage to model. It's something I'd always wanted to do but it also terrified me because I am *definitely* the kind of person who is most comfortable with a good book by the pool.
It usually takes me a long time to feel comfortable around someone and even longer to start to really be myself. This passion of mine forces me to push myself outside of my comfort zone regularly and I do it because I think it makes me the best version of myself; even when I struggle sometimes with the need for privacy vs the need to do what I love.
Ultimately this is my dream. I'm not really 'model material' in so many ways but I love it to bits and it pushes me outside of my comfort zone regularly - which I think is the secret to finding fulfilment in your life. Not all risks are worth the reward but if you don't push yourself every so often, you'll never know if that one decision could have been the one to change your life.

30 second exposure of Coal Harbour, Vancouver.
The ominous clouds parted over Coal Harbour around sunset to create this "halo" effect. I used my trusty 6 stop B+W ND filter to stop the light down sufficiently to smooth the water.
