wanted to try something new with the posting, and the 2 photos looked so paired up, i couldn't resist. well, i guess i'm a bit rusty, but i'll get it back. there's something about the images that remind me of a mirror, has that certain sense of duality to it. i can't explain why this appeals to me so much.

while it's not anything special, i do realize i haven't been doing anything for the past couple months or so. this is the best i can do, for some sort of need to do a tribute to autumn while the leaves are still there. the thought of being able to start taking courses after the ged excites me, but at the same time i'm just scared shitless. oh, and if you still check back, thanks to e. r. dunhill for the encouragement. it means a lot =) at least instead of sulking over whether i could do something and just sitting on my ass, i've realized i need to take action and stop complaining. too many things can happen while i stay idle. wow, do i sound like i'm afraid to grow old? ok this is weird.

well then, on another note, i'm afraid the shots i've been taking lately look horrible. any one of them. i think the gloomy sky might have something to contribute to that, but i'm just not good enough to be able to take a good pic even under bad lighting, and with my crappy point & shoot, it's not even worth a try, really. the scene in the pic above was breathtaking, because it had just rained (i love how the sidewalks are always scattered in yellow after rain) and the red of the bricks and the red car in contrast to the yellow... it was like a painting. too bad i screwed it up -__-;; i need to start learning how to use a dslr. maybe i'll be better at this photography gig.

i pray that classes will do me some good. maybe that could be my goal.

learned to airbrush properly; now everyone can enjoy the kind of digital flawless skin that doesn't really exist =) finally decided to post again, due to having nothing to post for the past month or so, plus the fact that no matter how many times we decide to replace the router, it still doesn't work. went to jess's new apartment yesterday and gave everyone makeovers, then had some photo fun. photos are fun. editing photos can be a bitch =T but the result is interesting. skin tones are fun to tamper with too. note: why do i have a tendency to not look at the camera when taking pics? it's like i subconsciously expect a flash and avert my eyes ahead of time.
