civgirl's photostream  

what i enjoy most about flickr is the conversation; when a photo takes off into an entirely different direction than what was originally intended. i have met some awesome people through flickr: darkhairedgirl, jadydangel, soonerpa....

i had always enjoyed photography. the love of my life was the one who helped me discover that photography was the other love of my life. a few years ago, he inspired me to purchase the canon eos digital rebel xt. i have recently grown out of my rebel though. and i have grown tired of taking the same photos. i don't know why but my photography slump has been cured by me being as goofy as possible in front of the lens. i have recently started doing collaborations with my love. fortunately he is willing to be just as goofy.

and i photoshop many of my photos. i consider myself an artist but i cannot paint or mold or build (nor do i want to). but through photography, i am able to do all of those things WITH the help of photoshop. just because i can't get my ideas across from a SOOC shot, does that not make me an artist?

and my work isn't fabulous. in fact, i barely get any hits but my only wish is that you can see my work as something inspiring, as you all continue to inspire me.

i was named after my grandmother. middle name anne. i'm a dork because i LOVE playing lineage II. and i play it A LOT. i tend to tune my tv to bad reality shows. i am truly at peace when in good company. i love thunderstorms at dusk. rain on a window. a breeze on a cloudy day. really green landscapes. dogs in the park. a smile from a stranger. hot air balloons. cake from a box. i'm shy around strangers but i will annoy you once you get to know me. i don't like to cross the "professional line" at work. and when i'm at work, i maintain my composure better than i thought i could. i'm a giver. i give and give and i will take care of you. and i will wait forever for you even though i despise waiting. i'm way less of an attention whore than i use to be. it's not about me anymore but it is more now than ever. i'm learning to accept me the way i am. it's been a long journey. i have an unhealthy addiction to vodka sauce. i need to be close. i'd die without smooches and cuddling. i have an addiction: it's food. there is nothing i enjoy more than a really realy good meal. and because of this addiction, i'm learning to enjoy working out. it's difficult but i'm getting there.
