LOLdeling

My (ex)roommate is a professional photographer. I am a professional writer who put on a dress and got her picture taken: These are my results.

Most people don't believe this (I certainly didn't), but modeling is hard. You're supposed to give off a strong presence and really connect with the camera in order to make some kind of impact on your audience, but there are no mirrors to help you determine whether you're actually doing it or not. I want to look intense, but I just look mad. I want to look excited, but I look kind of scary. I had no idea I was so tense in the legs or that my lipgloss was smeared or that I was sitting so my skirt was hiked up just a little higher than I would have liked. There's no way to tell! There's a just box with a lens, and every few seconds it goes, "Snap."

There were actually 50 or so frames. I felt the 18 in the link were the only ones that were admissable. Even so, I had delusions of photoshopping some of them, or having someone else do it. I decided to just throw them up here because I don't have PS at the moment. Considering my heavy procrastination on getting an ISP at my new apartment, it'll be quite awhile before I pursue a copy of PS.

So, late post, unretouched photos, meh. I'll stick to writing.
