“Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.” Eleanor Roosevelt
Today’s photo is a result of a challenge thrown out by Michael Andrew who is sponsoring the 365 Challenge. He wants to see if we can “blow” out the window light in our photos . . . it’s been fun to see others doing it. So I felt it was time for me to step up to the challenge. I had to tweak my facial and jacket coloring a bit in Lightroom, but am generally pleased with how this turned out. I used a gold reflector to throw light back on to my face. I’m feeling more motivated to get creative and step up my efforts in this challenge.

Today I had it in my brain that I wanted to create a silhouette – so I played around with that idea until I came up with this. Of course, it’s been processed in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I kind of like it! It’s not our anniversary until May, but he is my best friend, soul mate, lover, companion. A friend gave us a plaque when we got married that contains that slogan “BethGlenInc2003” so it’s kind of stuck!
A child seldom needs a good talking to as a good listening to. ~Robert Brault
Driving my little 3.5 yr old Great Nephew to pre-school this morning. He’s such a little sweetie. He sang me songs all the way there! The innocence and beauty of children never ceases to amaze me . . . especially at this age. They just don’t have the filters that develop as life experiences mold us . . . it’s just so much fun to sit back and experience their openness and creativity and originality.
This has been processed in Photoshop.
“And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.” Jerry Chin
We’ve had alot of rain here in the Pacific Northwest lately. Hubby and I were driving along on the highway so I put the camera on the dash, slowed down the shutterspeed and snapped. I took a few shots and this was the best. I like the motion that was captured. I processed it in Lightroom and Photoshop, and used a Layer Mask to add the inset photo of me in the rear view mirror.
“I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity.” Simone de Beauvoir
I’m not feeling terribly motivated today. I suppose I’m starting to hit a bit of a blockage where this 365 is concerned. I know I need to step it up . . . start doing something that is more challenging and pushes my comfort zone. I’ve been watching video’s today about different techniques within PhotoShop . . . so hopefully in the coming days and weeks I can start to walk instead of crawl on this journey. Who knew taking pictures of oneself could be so difficult??? I think my mood is matching the weather outside, cold and dreary. Need some sunshine!
This was taken with my webcam . . . and processed in PhotoShop.
