a little bit of dumbness...

I have my notsosmart moments. I thought my Yale application was due the 7th and it actually just has to be in the admissions people's hands by the 16th at the absolutely latest. So just to be safe, I will overnight-fedex-it on the 13th or 14th.

To say that I sighed the biggest sigh of relief known to man is SUCH an understatement. Why am I so horrible at reading instructions? It said postmarked by the 7th but received by the 16th.... yeah. I am really not always the brightest crayon in the box.

bones, bones, bones.

This is approximately (at minimum) what my hands would look like if I never had surgery. It might have been a lot worse but there's no way to know.

Mano Osteo-chondromatosis.

everything posted below... if you click on the photos and then hold down shift+refresh you will see new, better looking images. tada! edits.

another...

not happy with the light yet (common problem, eh?) among other things but it's getting there.

damocles.

more magical realism...

though I'm not happy with how the light is falling in this version, I think it needs some burning and dodging to make the light fall correctly. anyways, here's a test.

















i first saw it as feeling like you're capable of suffocating in a bathtub - making your own grave, but perhaps now she just really feels.....dirty. really, really dirty.

if i were to become a fashion photographer...

I would try to be like Ruven Afanador.

Except maybe more messed up. But seriously.... amazing. beyond amazing. I hate 90% of fashion and commercial photography so I am truly impressed.

something new.

finally getting around to going through these gobs of photos sitting in Bridge...

here's something interesting from my new "magical realism part I: involuntary introspection" (I'm not really going to call it that, but it does make me laugh).

at least two more of these will go up by Sunday.

Much thanks to the amazing Ashley and Chris.
