Forever Fickle

Nothing ever goes to plan, no matter how many appointments you make and how specific of a schedule you have. Weather will always interfere. The economy will always interfere. Life in general just interferes. And I'm pretty okay with that. :)

Wednesday:
I was supposed to have a photoshoot with three little ones I photographed last time I was in town, but the poor baby boy got a mosquito bite on his face that swelled up thanks to allergies. Instead of shooting the kids, I sat on the couch and photographed Daisy the dog doing the same thing.

Thursday:
Planned to spend the day hanging out with my two best friends, Khalila and Kelly, but then my little brother Louis decided to tag along as well. It was a really fun day. We ran into some good friends, shopped, ate, watched movies, and then some. This is my special brother.

Friday:
Spent Thursday night at Khalila's house and PLANNED to hang out with my friend Liz during the day, but by the time we would have been able to hang out, neither of us could think of what to do. Sooo... instead I waited for a ride to the host home, then I sat on the couch waiting for time to go to the open house for miss C. Remember her? Took the latter shot from the couch too.

Today I am supposed to have a senior shoot with another graduate, but at this rate, we are losing daylight, so I'm going to assume your photo for tonight will not be of her. :-( We'll find out later!

It IS Alive!

Hey guys... I promise I'm still alive. It's been a strange week. I haven't been able to stay awake! Every time I wasn't in class, I was passed out on my couch. Heck, I even went to bed before 9 o'clock last night. Crazy for this night owl, I know!

Anyhow, I have been taking my photos of course. Tuesday's is of some new additions to our kitchen.

Wednesday's accidentally got deleted.  :'( I had taken a photo of my very first chalk drawing for my Drawing class, but when I went to open it, my sleepy self deleted it permanently. I'll retake the photo once I get to school on Tuesday since I left it in the cabinets there (so it won't get ruined. I'm good at ruining things if you can't tell.) In place of it for now, I'll show you some more photos from the Senior shoot. :)

Yesterday's photo is SOOC, lens vignette and all. I don't feel like editing more than I already have to.

And finally, we reach today's photo: a fly on a... something. Can you find the fly? I didn't until I opened this in Photoshop. LOL

Also, I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the template I'll be making a tutorial on. The tut is already most of the way finished, but I was half asleep writing it, so I want to make sure I didn't skip a bunch of stuff.

Again, I apologize for disappearing all week. I also apologize for taking so long on posting this tutorial. I hope it'll be worth the wait once it finally IS posted! If not, well, Sandra can just ask me for clarification since she's the one who suggested this tut anyway! lol :)

All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go

 Couldn't decide which orientation was better, so you get both. 

Yeeeeah, I have to be honest: yesterday, I did not take a photo. No, I wasn't uninspired or anything. I was just having a terribly manic day-- seriously, I went from maniacally happy to so angry that I couldn't see straight anymore for no reason whatsoever!-- so I thought I should just force myself to sleep. In place of yesterday's photo, I thought I'd share the only picture I managed to edit.

The beautiful Ms. C, whose senior shoot will be an entire portfolio in itself. :D

I don't know what's wrong with me, but after yesterday and today's equally extreme health issues, I'm really worried. It's probably a medication problem, in which case it'll be over soon (luckily, I have a dr.'s appointment this week), but if it's not, I don't want it to jeopardize what I've been trying to build these past few weeks (/months?). Please bear with me. I'm trying my best!

On the plus side, today was a wonderful day otherwise. There was a huge cross in the sky made of strange dark clouds, and I reheheally wish I'd had my camera on me to capture it. It was so amazing to see. Hopefully, someone else experienced the great anomaly, too. Otherwise I may be sicker than I thought... LOL


Goodnight!

Reminisce

Today, I received a call from one of my middle/high school close friends who I've lost touch with in the past few years. It really made my day. We talked until his phone died! In honor of him and the chain of reminiscence he started, I thought I'd take a photo that had to do with memories.

Little did I know, that was the daily challenge. LOL So much for creativity.

My high school graduating class.

Squared

Today's challenge: 

"Focus in on some squares today and make a photograph."

I found squares EVERYWHERE today, but no one would allow me to take photographs (darn legal issues lol), so eventually I gave up and went to my room for some help. This is what I got.

I decided to go with that generic senior photo look with my high school yearbook (the metallic grid that the dog is on), a gift my baby cousin gave me on my graduation day, and my actual grad gown (the white background).
