SILENCED! day 184-365

A few months ago thehideoutforum.com had a theme of silence. I created one image and decided to go back and create another. I slapped some dark green eyeshadow on under and around my eyes. I then used nail polish to "glue" on the strings over my mouth. In photoshop I edited the strings to make them look like they are sewn into my skin. I also added a texture and darkened my eye area a little bit.

what a drag.....day 183-365

I took this photo a few days ago...it is funny how it is my blog post for today. I tried to wake up early to help my oldest child learn how to wake up at 5 so he can make it to his bus stop for 6am. I didn't do too well. I remember waking up, walking into the living room, then the next thing I remember is hearing the shower start up. My oldest woke up at 7. I will have to remember this photo each day. The name of this photo is "sometimes you just have to drag yourself to do things". I created it by taking a few photos of myself laying down, then a few of my legs in jeans with my hand in a position to be pulling on my arm. I lined a few up and this one was the perfect match. I photoshoped it so my hand was around my arm and fixed the shadows so they connected. It was a fun one to mess with.

I wanted to do a hidden selfie. I tried a few different areas in my house but the closet was the best place....maybe with our next house I will have some other hiding places for this project.

Sometimes I don't want to take my picture, so I tried to show that in this. I hid my face with my hair and looked at the camera like I wanted to rip it apart. This project is fun, but it is a pain to do. Taking a selfie everyday trying to take something creative, something different. With 3 kids, my house to keep up, my business, and a part time job. I start to think man why did I take this on, then there are days when I really enjoy it. Taking a photo just for my creative side really helps me out. So I think when this project is done I am going to take a few months off of projects and then do a 365 that are not selfies. Just something I took during the day.

If you sit still and listen you can hear the shadows talk. They will tell you of wonderful things that only they see.



Just a little light fun plus a bokeh texture to give the background just a little something extra.

OK it was after work, I didn't have any ideas that I could work on that late at night. I saw my kids book sitting on my chair and then I got this idea. Nothing much, just something fast.
