Listening to: Roommate chitter chatter
So I tried my hand at taking pics for my DIY set today...first off, I absolutely suck at taking pictures of myself. However, I don't know anyone who's better at me than taking pictures because they are either professional, or freak out at the thought of seeing me nekkid.
It was an experience....I took my shower to get ready, shave, clean up...all that good stuff, and my phone rings twice...my real estate agent, and then my loan manager...important calls...get that out of the way, and get back to cleaning up. Make-up goes fine, grab some clothes, and it's up to the upstair bathroom. I'm busting my ass trying to get this done so it'll be before my roomies get home from work. Take like 100 pictures, and they all suck...lol. Big blotches of white light, funky folds, or too much face and not enough of anything else. Back upstairs...so I'm going back and forth between the computer in the living room downstairs, then undressing/dressing back upstairs in the bathroom. Phone rings again, a call I can ignore. I spend like 3 hours doing this upstairs/downstairs thing trying my damndest to get some decent pictures that I'm happy with.
Then I'm going through the last batch, and the roomies come home, shut the folder...then my brother calls, on his way to my house to hear the demo he just finished recording...he's 5 min. away. So everyone wants to hang out in the living room, and I'm like GET OUT! GET OUT! 5 more minutes please, 5 more minutes...it never comes...right as I finally get the roomies out of the living room, my brother show up...my make-up is all jacked up now, everyones home...so like 400 pics later I have like 54 pics that are okay, and 1 that I absolutely love.
I'm gonna send 'em in anway because I don't wanna slack on this. This was like my one day with the house to myself...so much for that idea. I need to find someone who is willing to put up with seeing me nekkid and at least decent as taking pictures, because I fucking suck at taking pics.
