Bonus pic that didn't turn out quite like i wanted it to:

That's all, folks.

Since the powers that be at Worth have decided to ban me for something that I didn't do, I am no longer in the 30 day photo challenge. Thank you to the person who helped facilitate my banning.

Just to show that you can't keep me down. I've decided to continue.

9.8.07 Coming Apart at the Seams.

(Please click image for full view.)

Today, I decided to incorporate the amazing artistic abilities of Alberto Seveso into a single color portrait of myself.

What I like about this image: Everything. Absolutely everything. I'm really proud of this one.

What I don't like about this image: See above.

9.7.07. Stuck in a Box.

(click image for big)

I was going to take a picture of myself standing on top of some of my customer's boxes. Unfortunately, the box collapsed and i fell inside.

What I like about this pic: I love my expression, and the contrasting colors.

What I don't like about this pic: I wish I didn't have to hold the camera while I took the picture.

(please click for larger image)

What I like about this pic: I love the contrast of it. REALLY love it.

9.4.07 Five Hundred Eighty Four.

Click image for large view.

This image was taken on 9.4.07, over the course of 584 miles.

What I like about this image: This was my first attempt at a panoramic shot. For the first try, I think it's fairly good.

What I don't like about this image: The further I got along, the more skewed it became. I'm also not pleased with the lighting.

Weird bonus pic:

9.3.07 Pump Number Seventeen.

(click image for big view)

What I like about this image: I like how it turned out, given that it was a super fast snapshot. Thank you, Photoshop.

What I don't like about this image: The fact that it was a super fast snapshot, and I couldn't get my foreground and background uncluttered.

Satisfies theme challenges:
# At night, not sleeping
# Looking away
# Single light source

What I like about this image: I love the coloring, and the single source of lighting (a streetlamp).

What I don't like about this image: I'm still having issues with pixelation, but I think I'm figuring out the settings on the camera more.

9.1.07 Sleep

Not wanting to do anything today.

Satisfies theme challenges:
# Lying down
# From above
The giant thing on my thumb is a bandage made from a paper towel and packing tape. Cut myself last night slicing tomatoes.
What I like about this image: I like the fact that it's obvious I am the subject of the photo even though I'm not framed in the middle.
What I don't like about this image: There was way too much noise in the original, which I had to blur out. This caused the image to appear way too washed out. I tried to compensate by burning the shadows, but to no avail. Still learning this camera.
