Gloriana Laurie-Anna's photostream

I'm a writer by nature, photographer by desire. I proudly admit I am an amateur. These days I use a Pentax Optio S5i that's on its last legs, and I've actually never officially edited any of my photos with actual photoshop. I use a really old program called ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5. Right now, I'm intimidated as hell by photoshop, but perhaps that will change one day.

I take a lot of self portraits, as you can see. When I got my first film camera back in 1993, that's the first thing I did with it and I guess I just never stopped. I tend to take pictures spur-of-the-moment with not a whole lot of planning. I prefer it that way.
