this shoot was a bad idea on so many levels. i was standing on the edge of my tub. in high heels. with a short cable release connected to my dslr. which almost fell as i tried to keep my balance. the things i do for my selfie!
i love this photo because it represents an introduction to all this wonderful. my relatively new jeggings. my brand spanking new grey high heels. my new-to-me bal bag circa two thousand and five. gaaah, i think i'll melt now. into a little puddle just like the wrinkly jet black smooshy chevre of my bal bag.

an introduction
ten lords a leaping
huminuminum... it was quite a struggle to put this image together. i mean, i knew which images i wanted to use (there were three of them, all from my iphone) but i didn't know how i was going to make it connect with the theme. after all, i had no photos of lords and certainly none of lords-a-leaping.
instead, i decided to do a word association type linkage like i've done in the past. when i think of lords, i think of rich reds, religion, and the monarchy. odd but true. so i had three perfect images - thank goodness because i have since realized that i didn't take enough photographs back on december twenty-third twenty-ten. i basically merged all the photographs together until i was happy with the result. i guess the "leap" in this photograph could reference a leap of faith.
i had to tweak this image a lot because it was such a big leap - no pun intended - and because i had no clear vision in mind. after all is said and done, i am happy with the image but only because it looks slightly retro and because i absolutely love the photograph of the angel.
this was such challenge for me and i can't wait to see belle's interpretation!

friday finds
successful evening of thrift shopping! i bought three pairs of jeans, five skirts-slash-dresses, and one sleeveless top. i wanted to do a series called five on friday, where i find five thrift shop items (and only five) but i couldn't edit my purchases any further so i just bought everything. instead my series will be called friday finds and will include anywhere from five to ten items. hey, i only spent twenty-four dollars so it's not like i broke the bank.

out and about
i took my new-to-me black bal out for a spin and she looked so darling on the seat next to me. i love her so much i can't even stand it. i got her from a wonderful ebayer in montreal who used her to the perfect state of smooshiness. her two thousand and five chevre is wonderfully wrinkled and still pitch black with no fading.

closer
vince bought me a very silly toy lens for my iphone! it's a telephoto lens that provides eight times magnification or the equivalent of a five hundred mm lens. while it's very silly, it also works surprisingly well. it's also super cute and a lot of fun. here is a close up image with the lens on.

in between dreams
this is actually last week's photo - i wasn't sure which version to use so i am presenting both below. they are variations of the same image - i ended up choosing the first one because it doesn't as closely resemble my previous selfies. admittedly, this image freaks me out a little. ok more than a little. i'm not sure why but it reminds me of sharon tate and valley of the dolls. i haven't seen the movie but i've read helter skelter, which is probably why the association is troubling.

colour of saffron
this is the "star of india" - a rolls royce that was built for the maharajah of rajkot. it's on exhibit now at the art gallery of ontario. it's a brilliant orange colour... the colour of saffron.

one word makes all the difference
i'm a person who is sold on words. for example, nail polish. if the colour's just a number, i'm not interested. but if the colour's called sandy beach or paris je t'aime, there's a ninety percent chance i'll buy it. no, ninety-five.
