Face It
Wednesday, May 02, 2007  So I ended up getting a Lensbaby. Surprise, surprise. I've taken lots of sublimely blurry pictures recently. Actually, I've taken lots of pictures, period. I'm doing this thing called "365 Days" in which I take a self portrait every day for a year and upload it to the 365 Days Flickr group. I'm up to day 130. One hundred thirty days of me and (miraculously) I haven't missed a single one yet. I have, however, become absolutely sick of my face. Seriously. I don't always do a portrait, since the concept can be stretched to other body parts. When I'm really lazy I simply take a picture of my hand petting my cat or which socks I wore that day (although I might have to cool it with the socks because the foot fetishists are enjoying that waaay too much.) But back to my face. I really didn't think I would get so freaking sick it. I mean, I see it every day in the mirror. Doesn't bother me so much there.  And I've always been keen on taking self portraits. After all, I'm my most readily available human model and I don't usually complain about endless re-takes. It's just really hard to come up with something different every day. And sometimes my hair looks like crap. And sometimes I don't feel like putting on lip gloss, but if I don't I look like a zombie because my lips are naturally the color of death (oh how goth.) And then there's my newly crooked nose. Stupid doorknob, why-oh-why did you have to get in my way? Sigh. I'm back to exercising and today I did the video that alternates aerobics with strength training  . I used three pound weights and now my legs hurt so bad. Muscles I didn't even know I had are singing in pain. I hope I'm able to walk with out a noticeable limp tomorrow. My greatest wish is that this time I will actually lose some weight before I injure myself. Maybe if I tone up I can take a picture of my entire body for a 365 portrait. What a novel idea. I have 235 days left to shape up.Labels: exercise, lensbaby, photography posted at 10:57 PM . link to this post .   .

0 Comments:Indecision Friday, April 13, 2007  I've been trying to figure out what to get with my birthday money. It's not enough to drop on a really good lens , but it's just the right amount to get something fun. I was vacillating between the Lensbaby 3G or the Fujifilm Finepix F31fd . I love my old F10 and it has served me well, but the lens is scratched. I don't use a point and shoot too much anyway, now that Kyle got me the XTi , but it's a good thing to have when I don't feel like lugging the Canon around. On the other hand, I love the look of the Lensbaby. I rented a Lensbaby 2.0 for two weeks and I got some good shots with it, but it's hard to focus. I heard the Lensbaby 3G is easier to handle and also easier on the hands. Focusing the 2.0 gave me major hand cramps. So after much consideration I think I'm going to go with the Lensbaby. Perhaps. I'm sure my Photostream will soon give you a clue as to which way I went.Labels: birthday, camera, lensbaby, photography posted at 3:06 PM . link to this post . .
