A lot going on in life right now, I feel like I can't even catch my breath sometimes.
I have been trying my hand at learning photoshop and editing my pictures for fun. I figure it's one more way to have control over them and it's a good skill to have. Here is a before and after of my very first time using photoshop.
Before:
After:
Now, it still isn't perfect, but for never having used photoshop until today, I'm ok with it. I need to get the brightness down a little bit I think or tweak the curves layer... Either way, I'm happy with the progress and it's pretty encouraging to know I can still pick up a trick here and there.
**************
I am also talking to three separate photographers about doing my first set. I am trying very hard to find someone who has some experience with doing partial to full nude and can act as a guide as well as a photographer. Just some person with a camera isn't enough you know? I toyed with the idea of doing it myself, but in all honesty my camera is just not cut out for this stuff in any way, shape or form. If I could find a friend to borrow a camera from or perhaps a place to rent the camera and equipment from that would work too.
I have a list of five different ideas for my first set, all of which I searched for via the tags search and none of them have been played out. Of course things can always be reinvented, but for a first set I don't really know that I would be able to compete with something that has been done a bunch of times before. So we will see. I don't just want to just into this blindly and I don't feel I know everything I need to yet. Everyday I get a little closer though and that's a great feeling. Always so much to learn!

In other news, I got a haircut, so YAY!!! I was getting uber shaggy. Here's the back:
Ok, enough self pimping.
