A collaboration with myself.

Another self portrait that I did tonight. I couldn't get it exactly how I wanted it but, it's close enough and I will probably try it again.

Down The Rabbit Hole

Self Portrait taken tonight!

Second Levitating Self Portrait

Here is my second levitating photo from just a couple hours ago. I might try to create a series of these. They're so much fun!

"Levitating"

Tonight, I was browsing through blogs and I got so inspired by a photo that a blogger had just posted. I clicked on the source and came across some really interesting photos. I felt so inspired, I had to try it out for myself. This is my first attempt to "levitating". I had a blast trying to levitate and I am super excited to try something similar to this again. I already have other ideas. This was sorta my test shoot and I actually like it a lot. Next time, I hope to set things up better. As well, I need to work on my pose. This isn't the last levitating I will try!

*This photo was taken in my room and I think it would be hilarious if I enlarged it and hung it on the wall near my bed.

Is this too dark? Personally, I like it but, I am not sure if I should make it lighter.

One more thing, I need a title for this photograph. I am not so great with coming up with titles. Any ideas?

Contemplating Change

Today, I felt so lazy. I looked around my house and thought of things that I could be doing but, nothing seemed to motivate me. I snapped a couple pictures of my living room. I decided I want to make some slight changes but, I needed a better look. It can be difficult to recognize what needs changed when you're seeing it everyday. Your mind and eyes just get used to it. I needed a new perspective.

I have recently repainted the lighter colored wall from a deep red to this bone white color and I am still adjusting to it. I am slowly starting to shift my style. I really like opposites styles. Sometimes they tend to not mix well. I love the soft shabby chic look, the ultra feminine, all whites, then I love a retro look, bold colors and layered clutter. I can never decide on one. So, I usually don't go with either or try to do a weird mix of the two. Also, I hate cleaning so I prefer to have less things. It makes cleaning, much faster.

Unfortunately, my other problem is my budget. I can only make purchases at a snails pace. At times I do get lucky and score something abandoned by someone else. Which I have had happen several times and I make the best of it(the white shelf above my couch was one of those abandoned items, found on the roadside).

Studying these two pictures, I think I will be removing the clock and when I find a replacement piece, I will post pictures. What do you think would look better there? And I also need to lower the white shelf. I used to have a different couch and it was much larger. I still haven't gotten around to lowering the shelf. Soon, real soon.

Oh and have you ever seen such a huge lamp shade. I love oversized lamps and especially lamp shades. It's so big, it makes the room look like a doll house, where all of the furniture's sizes don't match because some of the furniture was made for Barbie and some for Polly Pocket but, as a kid you used all of it anyways because that's what you had. Well, my living room is the same, I use what I have and I have favorite pieces they just don't all match.

Sunday, my mom, my stepdad and I took a short road trip to the Pasadena Flea Market. It was my first time going to a Flea Market and I had high expectations. My expectations were definitely met. I am so excited about all the lovely vintage dresses I purchased and will be posting them to my Etsy store, Little Orphan Fannie. It's going to be really difficult to let some of them go.
