I decided to sleep on the idea of whether or not I wanted to post these images. Now that I actually have 'friends' on my friends list, I didn't want some people getting the wrong idea. Here is the right idea, for anyone that's listening. I'm very very interested in photography as an artform. When I see pictures on certain people's journals, like
scottage_cheese for example, I become uncontrollably jealous. Even though I still don't have the moolah to purchase a quality camera and a better editing progam, I still try to work with what I have. I finally decided to go ahead and post the pictures. I was mostly playing around with different angles (you kind of have to get creative when you're the subject and the photographer, and I'm not fully skilled at that yet). Anyway, in anticipation of potentially offending anyone, I made an effort of covering up the offensive parts, which actually ended up adding an interesting element to the photos.
By the way, it's 5:17 in the morning. (My dog woke me up whining that he needed to go outside.) Someone please bring me some Starbucks before I keel over in oxymoronically wakeful exhaustion!
