Photographic Series

Cindy Sherman's photos have the same effect as a black and white film stop.

I copied Aliya and tried to change eye color on photoshop. It looks pretty unrealistic but it worked. I can't get the picture I manipulated to upload but here's the link! http://www.photochopz.com/forum/member-photoshop-tutorials/29313-changing-eye-color-quick-easy-photoshop-tutorial.html

Composite

I only have a million and one tiny little ideas for really neat composite pictures! I can't decide where I want to go with it at all. These are two of my favorites and I'm really just posting this to show to my teacher when I talk to her about my ideas. Neither of these are my pictures. 

Photoshop Tutorial

During the process of editing my Man of la Mancha project I came across a great tutorial to make just one color in a picture stand out. Although this effect has the danger of being super cheesy, I've also found some really cool ways to use it I'll try and upload later (but because they're photoshop images they might be too big). 


Here is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0_vYsZYQY 

and there are some cool examples that ARE NOT MY PICTURES! ^^

The most magical place on earth.

I was unbelievably luck and SO EXCITED to spend the end of my christmas break in what I might be able to consider my Mecca. Some of the most influential forces (besides my family) in my childhood were Harry Potter and the classic Disney movies. I was taught to dream, and believe with out seeing, what real friendship is. I have watched those movies and reread the books countless times and forever will love the magic. This trip was the best christmas present in the world. 

words to live by.

Of course a break from school means a little time to collect yourself and slow down for a second. Just a couple of things I try to remind myself of when I can: 

Someone, somewhere is struggling with something bigger than my math test.
Keep it in perspective.  

(Had to edit out a profanity sorry)
For me this translates to take every opportunity you get and make the very best of it.

If it is something you believe in you should be okay with standing up for it.
Make your opinion heard. 

You have to have some fun to. 

Its hard sometimes, but you can't be worried about everything always,
you'll burn out before the end of the week.

My favorite. 

Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing

Yay thanksgiving in the islands. The ocean has to be my very favorite thing in the entire world. <3

There are so many boats moored everywhere. 

And little hermit crabs running around. 

And sometimes pirates that scare little boys!

AAaaaarrrgggg

The most adorable old couple spent practically a half hour stacking these rocks.
