Ok guys, I have a mission. It's not a mission for me though; It's a mission for YOU.
I would LOVE to have some more followers on this blog. I'm thankful for the few that I have, but I see nothing wrong in wanting just a few more. It would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that I had a small group of readers. So, since I like that warm fuzzy feeling, I'll get back to the mission.
Let's get some buzz going, shall we? Share this link with the people you know! Post it on Facebook, mention it to a friend, write a song about it, anything! Any amount of attention is a good thing. Don't want to get lonely, now do we?
Alright troops. Let's get out there and SHARE! =D

Vote!
Why am I posting a bunch of random photo shopped pictures? Because I have decided that YOU(yes you, the one sitting there at the computer reading this) get to vote on which picture I should explain first.
Vote on the picture that you're most curious as to how I made, and I'll explain in detail how the picture came to be and what it took to make it. Start the voting....now!

Tidbits Of Information
It's almost Christmas! YAY! Oh, I can't wait for all the picture opportunities! And the food! AND THE PRESENTS!! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's get more organized, shall we? There's 3 main topics I want to cover in this blog post, and those 3 topics are...
1. Christmas!
2. Blog posting.
3. Myself.
NUMBER 1- CHRISTMAS: Eep! Man, I suddenly just got REALLY excited for the wonderfully jolly holiday. I cannot WAIT to take some festive pictures. Last year, I sort of slacked in my photographer duties and only got some barely passing pictures. This year, I want to get as many as I can of as MUCH as I can! Lights, ornaments, presents, food, people, decorations, scenes, etc. I'll be sure to post what I get, and I suggest that YOU go out there and take some Christmas pictures as well.
NUMBER 2- BLOG POSTING: I've kind of been a failure at keeping up with my blogs as of late. If I can be frank, I'm not that great of a writer. Only on very rare occasions will I be able to write for hours on end, the words spilling out of me like endless rain into a paper cup(yes, I just went all Beatles on you. Pwned.). I'm going to try to post something at least once a week though, because I feel as though I'm obligated to myself to do so. Maybe if you guys could post some comments to help keep me motivated? ;]
NUMBER 3- MYSELF: Sound conceited? Good, because that's what I wanted to talk about! It has come to my attention that I am my number one model. Is it because I'm conceited and think I'm all that and a bag of chips? Not at all! I use myself as a model because I know how my ideas look in my head, so who better to mold the ideas into images than myself? I can control my body and expressions better than that of someone else. Another reason I use myself more than other people is because the only other people I can use are either my brothers or my friends. My brothers don't really enjoy being in pictures(or putting up with my bossiness), and all of my willing friends live rather far away. So instead of forcing the boys into doing something they don't want to or wasting time making plans with friends that may or may not work out, I just use myself and get it done.
And there they are; The 3 topics I wanted to cover. Adios, amigos!

Emo Love
There is seriously something SO amazing about gloomy brides and forbidden or complicated love. I tried to capture both of these things in the pictures below.
It was really fun taking these pictures, because I had to think out of the box in order to find the right outfit. For the beaded veil and head covering, I used a beaded tank top thing I bought at Goodwill a while back for $0.99. I've been trying to find a good use for it, so I was glad when I was finally able to put it to use.
For the wedding dress and veil in the last picture, I actually used the skirt of a big prom dress I have. It has different layers of fabric in the skirt, so I separated the materials, then wrapped the the layer I wanted all around me.
I'd love to take these again someday, except make myself up a little more and maybe even find a REAL wedding dress to use. In the mean time though, I'm somewhat proud of the results I got with what I had.
