Walls

I have really fun things on each of the four walls in my room. I've actually showcased all but one, I think, which you can see {here}. I can't quite decide which wall is my favorite because they each have something specific to them that I freaking love, but this wall was feeling good at this particular moment.

Inspiration's Power

A while ago I took a picture that I positively loved. It's this one actually:

Well, I loved it so much it inspired me to redo my set of Converse photos in black and white. Here's today's experiment!

Crops

Blast it all. I haven't once cropped a photo for the blog. I really try hard to make a photograph perfect without editing it. I do occasionally bump up the contrast to make the color more interesting, but if the framing isn't just right, I don't usually fix it. And, in all reality, I've trained myself to work on the framing while I take the shot so that cropping is unnecessary. Well... today that all changes. This was all I could even muster as I got home and realized I hadn't taken one artistic picture all day long. And because I couldn't see the screen when I took it, I had to crop it. But that's life, and the wonders of a computer. Oh, and for some reason of another, I think Converse really are the most interesting shoes. I think it's because of how classic they are, but also because of how simple they are.

Take Two

I bought another canvas today (they're still 50% off!) and a tube of white paint. I'm thinking of trying my hand at Converse, but I feel really unoriginal since Kendle painted me that amazing one that now hangs above my desk (see here if you don't recall). The shoe pictures are a few possibilities.

I really enjoyed the painting I did last time, so I'm looking forward to something a little more sophisticated. And I'm thinking about changing up the little one I just did last week. Haha. We'll see how this goes!

Paint

So there I am, doing my homework at my desk right? Well, I look up at my beautiful custom painting of my converse (by the lovely Kendle Farr). I take it off the wall to look at it more closely. Well, my halogen desk light was on, and it was coming through the painting all types of awesome! You can't really tell in this picture, but it made me really happy. And was a really nice distraction from all of my studying.

Coming Together

So Kendle painted me that super cool picture of my high-tops right? Well, to hang underneath it, I have a wide picture frame that holds 5 4x6s. I was thinking that some of these will be what go in that frame. I haven't decided, but I like the pictures when I put them in there. It would come together nicely above my desk. :)

Here We Are...

I'm a pretend artist. I really like to think that I'm a good photographer. My bud Kendle thought that I should make a blog of some of my stuff, and here we are! Here are some favorites:
