Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave and sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
Cause I've found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in
The end is uncertain
And I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave

Stepped on a mesquite thorn while taking the shot. It hurts.
This shot took over a hundred to get. No one else was willing to put sprinkles on their lips no matter how much I tried to convince them. Sad day.
Went out for a ride today and decided to have another go at taking a picture while riding. Still not perfect, but am pretty happy with the result...
"one fish, two fish,
red fish, blue fish"
that's the first line that comes to my head when i think of dr. seuss. too bad we don't have fish, yet.
atrapé mi propia alma con mi cámara, en algún lugar del Río de la Plata...
(i trapped my own soul with my cam, in some place over the Río de la Plata...)

I had a good day. I went to the Apple Store today for a workshop on iPhone basics. I'm going there tomorrow for advanced iPhone basics and how to take better photos with your iPhone.

I'm back home now. What a wonderful week I had with my family. I can't wait until next year!
Packing is moving along at a good pace. Kitchen is nearly done. This leaves tomorrow and Sunday (remember, I'm losing Saturday to Rhinebeck!) to:
• finish kitchen (3-4 more boxes?)
• bathroom (1 box)
• hall closet (that's the yarn & knitting supplies; a few boxes)
• clothing (trash bags if necessary; 2 suitcases)
• all the other piffle (6 boxes total?)
I feel "overwhelmed but not stressed." I'm tireder than I've been in a long time. Also? Have actual work to do that's due tomorrow. Crap!

Yup. We have a thread in local forum where you can post pic of you and you doll, and I felt like I needed an update. Fist pic I took was very... clean and pretty, but somehow it looked wrong. So I took another one which looks more like me like I am with my dolls. Derpy, playing with their hair as usual, and everything looks wonked. xD Yeah, a lot more believable, I say.
So hi. Iz meh.
Self portrait. First one in quite a while. I created a makeshift studio in my bedroom by attaching clothespins to the wall near the ceiling via command strips (kudos to Scotch for being awesome!) and then hung up a length of black felt. Directional lighting was provided by the 60W reading arm of my cheapo Target floor lamp.
So, so tired today. January 25th 2010
Drove in fine but got to the office and felt completelty deflated.
Got a lot achieved but feeling a bit battle weary. Realised we were half way through our set of meetings (7 delivered and 7 to go)
At least flickr gives me 20 mins (as not being very creative at the moment) off working and that is relaxing. But what I really need is a holiday.
Bed by 11 - slept like a baby.
Got a new softbox, Westcott Apollo 28x28, also bought the 40 degree Grid. Set it up tonight and took some hand held self portraits, to test things out. Most of these were shot with manual setting via YN-622C, at either 1/8th power or 1/4 power, focal length set to auto
How do you hide?
What do you hide behind?
Who do you choose to hide from?
Do you wear masks that you wish you could hang on the wall and never pick up again?
We all hide.
I think it's human nature.
Or nature in general.
The fear to face what or who we truly are at times.
It's hard to not feel the need to keep hidden.
We're all hiding.
How do you hide?
