PORTRAITS

Because

I've moved my website

 and am now using BlogSpot instead,

 these images have not been uploaded on here before,

even though they were taken a while back. Due to me temporarily closing my

 business while I study, it has been TWO MONTHS

 now since I last picked up my camera and my withdrawal symptoms

are STRONG!

 My palms are itching,

 my shoulders are twitching

 and my brain is screaming to switch over to the creative side for a while.

 Even typing this, I have conceptual ideas flooding through my head that I'm going to have

to write down and keep for the holidays.

 So in the meantime,

 come rain, hail or gale force winds here in Melbourne,

 I'm going to do some photo shoots next weekend!

 These beautiful people below will just

 have to suffice for

now as a visual

 reminder....

TEXTURED

Layering

 textures onto an image can

 intensify the atmosphere or story. One of my future

posts will show how to add textures for those that like the look... I definitely
use textures more subtly now than I did on these older images below, but I still like the look
and it's so easy to make your own textures by photographing items around the house.
I used my scratched up metal cookie tray for one of mine. There are

 also plenty of free textures

online like at http://www.deviantart.com/resources/textures/

just check what the owners allow

you to do with

 it first.

 

 

This is a magical beast .... 
that holds the secret of light & shadow in a safe place in her heart & when it has been too long grey,
she starts to dance & laugh & cry & sing & the sunlight fills her up
 & spills in wild abandon
 back into the world
again.

"I'm scared to sleep,
I'm scared to dream,
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream. 
I can't breathe" 
~ Lyrics - Gary Numan

 .... wrap my cold heart, my sorrowful soul,   

my wasting being... with all the

 warmth you can give-

 you can share- you can care!

warm again- as you could, all that's

irresistibly comforting to hold....

 The damaged girl just could not sleep,

because her thoughts were way too deep.

Her mind had gone out for a stroll

and fallen down a rabbit hole.

The End.
