Nolan-6 months

I took Nolan's newborn pictures (not a success), and decided to give it another go while babysitting today. Much better! Let's face it- babies are cuter when they can smile on command anyway! ;)

King & Ava

CR 123

This is series I took earlier today on County Road 123 in Gainesville, TX. I was somewhat determined to get out of the house and shoot something I considered "pretty". I didn't take into account that I have been, and currently am, quite sick with a cold and couldn't see very well --at all resulting in dangerous driving and out of focus pictures.

 I actually pulled a U-ey on an old gravel road when I saw the sun on that green vine with the leaves to the left. 

 This one I chose to use for my 365 today. I feel it has a very "you caught me, but don't hurt me" look. Also the wind in the dress makes my butt look huge.

 This on I like the movement in the dress a lot. I almost wish it had been as out of focus as the rest.

This is the only one I've edited at all, the others are sooc. I think the damn vine is what's killing most of these for me, but the colors I love especially for sooc.

photo adventure of the morning

Not sure if I like the color or B&W more. 

 I do love me some sepia.

 I can't decide if I love or hate the shadow. I think this could've used all or no shadow. le ugh..

 Oh hi :)

Meanwhile INSIDE the house..

365/249

i'm terrible at posting. this blog was supposed to capture my thoughts on each and every 365 pic so i could look back and remember what a noob i was. but instead it's just a barren wasteland full od reallllly old stuff and irrelevance and blah blah. anyway i'm posting now!

so my 365 today was for theme of the week which was dancing. i thought about the mamushka from the addams family movie. when i was kid i LOVED that movie! I thought morticia addams was what women should look like and i guess that started my love of macabre things.

lately i've noticed that my mind set is sort of goofy about that, meaning; i LOVE gore and macabre and grunge in movies and photoshoots. the weirder or bloodier the better!! but i DO NOT like real life gore.

i foolishly got on /b/ on 4chan to post something stupid, and discovered a gore thread and i followed that baby till it disappeared. to the point that i had a knot in my stomach (very rare that blood does that). so i guess i just feel the need to state that i LOVE LOVE LOVE gore and creepy strange things when i know they're fake, but i soooo do not want to see anything real.

it doesn't make sense, but i feel better having typed it. self disclosure i suppose...

so this image is my mock-vintage mamushka flip. i like that the body has movement but the face seems pretty still. sad, but still. i think it helps anchor the image and makes it interesting. like, what's sad about flipping and mamushka-ing?

so yeah...

okay this was lame, but at least i posted SOMETHING!

365/188-189

both taken today, so it's only fair for them to share a post. The first image is glow stick under the eyes, with PS over the eyes. (it wound up in my eyes anyways btw) and the second is a bathtub pic. possibly my favorite in a long time.

for some odd reason i really love this washed out, overly contrasted black and white version. original's not on this comp, so this'll have to do.
