Another self portrait. Borrowing some cool gear from school for my shoot with the basketball team tomorrow.

I am so tired. Finals should not have been that hard. Plus a jazz fest. I regret nothing about the snow days though.

This is the first photo where I’ve actually taken a step back and gone “that’s kinda fucked up…” Unlike a lot of my other shots this one didn’t really have specific inspiration. It just kind of…evolved inside my head. As far a class goes, I think if I had any teacher besides Foti I would have made it to the counselor’s office by now, but he’s one of those depressed artist types, so he understands. On the other hand, my photoshop merging skills are getting pretty snappy.

Woohoo!

I got my first reblog by someone I don’t know at all today. Soon to be a tumblr tycoon. Hoorah.

I’m not twisted; the world is. This photo was inspired by Kyrgyz prisoners who’s lips are currently sewn shut in protest of their living conditions. 
Special thanks—Emily

Abstract. No edits. I probably shouldn’t stare directly into bright lights so often. Does anybody else kind of enjoy the purple and green spots you see though?

I usually don&#8217;t get stressed out about finals. Why do I even care this year? I&#8217;m gonna get As or Bs and it doesn&#8217;t really matter. I&#8217;m a senior. I&#8217;m taking this high school thing way too seriously. 
In other news Asus sent me a new power cord, so I can use Photoshop again, finally.
Honestly I&#8217;m not super thrilled with the technical aspects of this one. I was mostly going for the concept, and I don&#8217;t want to be up all night before Solo/Ensemble.
