I have recently left my job, and therefore have a lot of free time. I decided today that it would be a good time to get used to using my new studio lights and practice some more with them... unfortunately I had no models, and therefore had to pose myself. The poses suck I know, but it was still good practice!
just can't put the camera down.. photo taken while waiting for the afternoon tea snacks to be served :-)
Looks like a tank, but in fact, it's a K55A1 howitzer, a self-propelled (rather than a towed) gun. It's the Korean version of the US M109 howitzer. Next to it on the left is perhaps an M105, but I'm not certain of that.
Self-portraits inspired by Jedward, twins John & Edward from X-Factor 2009. Thanks to Rene for assisting.

Once I heard a comment from important person, that I am unlucky to be from post-soviet country...That inspired me to make a self-portrait in this way....I am Lithuanian, willing to be visible.
standing in the rug section of the home department.
i am neither running ahead of my myself
or trying to drag myself to catch up.
while looking at welcome mats, i realized that
i was actually standing in the center of my being
noticing what it feels like to be here now.
Diary of a Self Portrait. :: 365 Days of Self Portraits :: A Challenge
First attempts at self portrait and using a speedlite. Untidy, unawake and unshaven. Trying to get over my hatred of being photographed.

Day 6/365 SOOC!
At the time this was taken, I hadn't eaten anything all day. That's why I look so thin. Normally, I don't.
A must do.

Ok...so, last night I took a bit of time and went through my flickr account looking at my photos from the time I started up until now. Just mentally noting what I have improved upon and things I still need to improve, etc. I also noticed that I used to take a lot more self portraits and random photos of things all around me. For some reason, since I had my surgery last July I have not been doing this. I don't know why. I just haven't. Maybe I've been uninspired. Maybe I just got caught up in things and didn't stop to realize things in MY life are important too. I dunno, i've just kind of been busy, I guess. Anyhoo. I also realized that I have friends on here. Many whom I've never met before, but hope to meet one day. So, today I decided I am going to do better. I'm gonna appreciate things around me more and share them with the people that aren't able to be here first hand...
Thank you to those few of you that have hung out and supported me through throwing up random photos and my funks and such. You have no idea what your support and kindness has done for me. :) So, here's to 2010 to. The year of the new me. Bring it on.
Also, I'll be flying to Cleveland, OH this coming week. So, expect some major snow photos from this Southern girl! :)
