What have I been doing so far this month? Not much, actually. Things kind of build up in culmination at the Soul Powered Show, and now I’m broke, trying to focus and finishing up the last few weeks of school and doing commissions to tide me over financially until then.
As always, I’ve been taking photos. My little sister said something to me a little while ago that I found so funny. I asked me to take a picture of something, and I guess I was taking to long with it, and she said finally,
“Sharon, you don’t have to take a photograph. Just take a picture.”
Laura’s awesome like that.
Salt print in the fixer.
Tongs labeled to use for different alternative photographic processes.
The advanced darkroom.
I haven’t been able to bite my nails since I got my braces. My nails grew out, so I painted them, which I hadn’t done in a loooong time. The color is “Holly Days” a really dark green. I bought it from Bath & Body Works like 5 years ago and it’s still good.
My younger sister Nicole being glamorous.
Another late night or being bored into taking photos of myself.
Commissioned pages with which I will soon part. Done for Arson Entertainment.
Saturday – My sister’s study, waiting to be baptized.
Playing with extended shutter speeds. It’s the lights on the ceiling of the Mobile Civic Center.
We ate at a Chinese Restaurant I’d never been to. I really liked the lanterns hanging outside. I was having trouble with my AutoFocus, though, and this is one of the first shots. I liked how it came out, though.
Nicole, in the outfit she made for the Special Assembly Day.
My hair had grown out of the cut, but I can’t afford to go to the stylist. Saturday night I resolved to trim it myself. I’ve done it before but it’s been, like, years ago. I didn’t cut off as much as I wanted in the back, mainly because I couldn’t see it. I like it though. It looks really good tousled.
The aftermath.
Sorry for the lack of art. I have drawn a few things. I’ll try to have them up in the next post.
