you got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow

yesterday i had a nap too. not as long. one key difference was that my door was open enough for archie to come in and 'assist' me in waking up. i languidly opened my eyes and looked up at him on the window sill against the blue sky and was filled with a desire to photograph him. this is his hulking silhouette.
this is his tail tip in focus. i love his tail.

this evening i experimented with studio lighting. i read a bit about it online and then i tried some things out. thanks to karen i have some flood lights and an umbrella. i thank karen in my heart every time i look at this equipment. thanks karen!

so my only available subject was myself, so i made do. i didn't try to fix my nappy hair or anything. so here's what i got:
the thing i notice in this photo is my hands.
which may or may not have inspired this pose. haha. note how i fluffed my hair out in this one, which causes me to chuckle a little bit, i'm not going to lie to you.

my favourite thing about this one is elicia's ring, and the way my fingers look with shadow and light.











haha, pig pen hair and smug about it.




the end. it's 2:32. i should probably go back to bed.
