Abstract & fiftytwo

Perfect weather!

It's been just the perfect weather today. Sunny, snowy and cold as hell. I know some people hate the cold, but I love days like this one.

I decided to go down to the beach and take some outdoor self portraits. I consider these a big step forward for me, 'cos they are full-body pics. At first I was pretty grossed out when I looked through the photos for the first time (because I hate the way I look), but then I started doing the PP and thought that maybe I'm the only one who really cares. Let's hope so!

So we had our little photo shoot. I almost cried when I got home and saw how many of the photos were ruined. My lovely unstable hands and sensor noise just killed most of them. Thank god I managed to make some of them ok with PP. Here are some examples:







It was nice to shoot someone else for a change. Though I am eager to get back to my apartment and start working on my fiftytwo-photo for next week. :)

Concentrating on the positives in the middle of the negatives.

So many bad things have happened to me and my family lately that it would be extremely easy to get depressed, but instead I decided to concentrate on the positive things. For example, my new car. :)

Taking these photos made me nauseous and gave me a headache but at least they came out pretty good.

My imaginary friend thinks you have some serious problems.

I've been PPing my photos for over an hour now and this is what I got today:

Actually I used 6 different post processing programs when editing these; Windows Live Photo Gallery, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, FrameFun, FotoFlexer, Picasa 3 & Gimp. Kind of a drag but still had fun 'cos I had a clear visions of the things I wanted to do.

Collages are so much fun to do and I might go a bit over-board with them now and especially in the future, but I can't help myself. :D
