i wanna wake up kicking and screaming's photostream  

haha, sooooo, in the midst of editing a few pictures, I went to the bathroom. what i saw in the mirror there was glorious. my hair, in a fun bun (as per the usual during busy or lazy times), was formed in a cinnamon-roll spiral on top of my head. my bangs were perfect.
My hair unintentionally and strikingly resembled that of Tetra, the sassy pirate from the "Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" game.
So, i snapped a quick pic of myself with my iPhone and uploaded it onto Flickr. I then proceeded to make the image black and white, and then digitally paint over it. it's kind of a sloppy job, but then again, it's not like I had set up a whole shoot for it in the first place. So i'm happy with it. :D
It usually bothers me when people upload their Instagram or phone pictures to their Flickr accounts (save those for Facebook and Twitter!), but I'll make an exception for this. :P it was just a fun rendering i did for the heck of it. i had to capture the moment!! :) i didn't know a bun like Tetra's was humanly possible to achieve. apparently my hair achieved it on its own. it sure as heck didn't look like that when i initially put it up!
so there you go, now you've got your daily dose of photo randomness. and nerdiness.

and for those of you who are less nerdy than me and are unfamiliar with what Tetra looks like, here's a picture:

(^ i dont know how to do fancy embedding things)

so, i hope you enjoy it! i had fun becoming a blonde, if only for one picture. (:

*******AFTERTHOUGHT: i made the shirt the wrong color! >:O
la, la, la...whatever. la, la, la...it doesn't matter.

really liked this one. :)i feel i'm beginning to grow more and more fond of monochromatic photos.

back to editing these!!! :) this is one of my favorites from Cloverton's set.

did a shoot of sorts back in October inspired by Florence and the Machine's "Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up".
love the song, decided it deserved a sort of Celtic Druid feel, it sounds like it has like a sort of tribal influence or something....kind of shady lyrics in terms of spirituality, so i chose to portray individual lines and the overall feel of the song as i interpreted it, rather than acting out the meaning (cuz i don't believe in that sort of tribal mysticism kind of stuff, and it can step into some sketchy waters in regard to my Christian faith).
All this to say, i had a LOT of fun doing it and i LOVE Florence & the Machine. :)

here's the song; i suggest a listen!!!

HELLO AGAIN, FLICKR!!! its been too long!!
i've been busy with college applications/visits/auditions, the golf team, finals, and a very full first semester class load. BUT-- i'm done with most of my college stuff, this semester's class load is a LOT lighter and a LOT more fun, plus i don't have to take finals second semester!! so hopefully I'll be able to FINALLY catch up on the HUNDREDS of pictures i have sitting here for me to edit! i've got to finish this past summer's Camp Electric and Haiti photos, as well as a few random concept shoots and the Christmas Pageant photos from over a year ago! ACK!!!! but better late then never, i guess. :)
cheers, y'all.
