Been a while since I've done a self portrait.
Manually focused, set to a 10sec timer (just hopped in front of the camera and said a lil please be in focus prayer haha)
Yes, I could use other means, but that would take the fun of it away for me.

And if tonight my soul may find her peace
in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,
and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower
then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.

Forever inspired by the book I am currently reading, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
If you aren't yourself, who are you?
Goodnight all. I'm sick if you cant tell by the oceans under my eyes.
And remember, be yourself and be happy. Someone cares. Me.

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”

Last weekend i did a little (well actually fairly big) spring clean and i found lots of old things i have been hiding in bags and just forgot in old corners. This red hat was one the things, just couldn't resist doing a quick shot. :)
Although it is not a specific fear, it is one of my fears which I am including under the large umbrella of 'social phobias'.
Honestly, I was just playing around with shutter speed and seeing what I could do with it, and this is what came out and I thought it fat my project.
"here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

photo inspired by,
my imagination.
it's a drab 50 degree day in June, what else is a girl to do?
One week down 51 to go. Wanted to do somehing more creative but still incorperate some drops so here it is.
Strobist: f6.3 at 1/60th canon 430ex II at 1/8 power through an umbrella in the fridge. 420ex at full power with a piece of Rosco 83 on a stand bounced off the wall behind the camera.
Fair amount of photoshop and a NIk Color Efx pro and Viveza 2
Square crop is an homage to Brook Shaden who taught memany of the techniques that were used to create this.
portrait of hester sparrow
hester sparrow hates her teeth
the gap between the top two
cruddy molar, cracked crown
loathes her long breasts
lead anchors smooshed in cups
with straps that cut grooves
in her shoulder bones.
hester doesn’t like the sea
much anymore
the way it zings her hair
and pecks her skin.
from a deck chair
she cracks pistachios
holds the nuts out
to a titmouse
eats what he misses
piles the shells between her legs
red dye inking her thigh.
hester likes the birds
the gulls and terns that scream
against the low sun
small birds that chatter
just before sunup
crows and even pigeons
envies them their wings
collects loose feathers
in a jar on the kitchen sill.
after dinner each night
as she scrapes the scraps
of meat and bits of corn
from her plate and
captain john’s
into the sink
she looks at the jar
out the window beyond it
dreams of steady ground
where nothing swells
and the only splashes
come from a bird bath.
maybe the desert.
maybe Indiana.

This was supposed to be a shot with blue skies and green grass, but it rained, so i ended up doing something else.
for Dip-it-thursdays: take me high and low
17/52 I will never be the same. More in comments.
Same old things, the usual arguments, the usual cold winter, the usual snow. The usual view from my window, the usual picture that tells nothing. The usual me that feels different.
I was totally screwed for ideas tonight, I just couldn't seem to find all the nuts and bolts to ply an idea together. No matter what I came up with it just never seemed to fit.
365: This is my day, over tired and under enthuesed about doing my self portrait. No motivation or creativity. So this is what we get :/
BTW Anyone have any grease? This is kinda tight, and I can't seem to get a good handle on the situation!
it was a very happy moment. Just getting to know little Magpie back then, and dear Meatie was on my lap.

Selfportrait.
Photocollage.
I hesitated quite a long time before posting that one and may remove it one day or another.
I feel like I am at a crossroads, again.
I experimented a bit of conceptual and of fashion photography, emotive portraiture, and so on. Yet I cannot find something satisfying in anything I did. Every single photograph I took feels like a draft to me. Each one is lacking a big something and I have got to work on that a lot.
It is not candid photography nor really artistic. I cannot even describe what it is.
___________________________________________________________________________
That's maybe why on that one I decided to go back to what I experimented when beginning to create pictures (let's put it that way) about four years ago. A mixture of different photographs and this painting-like feel. Hope it works even a little.
I wanted this creature to express how everything is but flickering (no pun intended), and decided to bring out a contrast from the ugliness of the general shape (strange long legs, dirty face, messy hair...) and the beauty of the delicate flower and the luminous fabric.
Natural light is the best one for sure!
