Some Photos What I Have Taken

As I sit here waiting for Virginia Woolf to sort out the problem of the faulty Skype microphone, I figured I'd make a slightly different post (and one meant skillfully to hide the fact that I haven't worked on my wretched revisions today and do not really intend to). Instead, I thought I'd talk about photography!

I've found in recent years (like, the past single recent year) that I greatly enjoy messing around with my crappy, blurry, rotten, stupid, ugly camera. I'm sure I'd like messing around with a not-crappy, blurry, rotten stupid, ugly camera even more, but I'm not one to spend lots of money without endlessly fretting over it first, and I've got other things to worry about, like Colorado and San Diego. Thankfully though, there's such a thing as photo enhancing, and I have had the good fortune to find a couple people who don't mind standing, sitting, or smelling a bunch of flowers for a long period of time while I hiss and mutter over my malfunctioning camera. I've never really shared these photos before except with the people who modeled for me, so I figured that for the fun of it I'd post some photos here. First time ever, never seen before, whoop de - freaking - doo.

Anyway!

My lovely friend Samantha. She is lame and told me I couldn't take more photos of her until she loses weight. I may kill her. 

 This is what it looks like when people touch magical boxes they aren't supposed to. Put it down, Miranda!

This is why I can't take my beautiful friend Amy to the Art Institute. She causes a scene.

The Dawn Ashke of mention and I decided to do a Lisbeth Salander - inspired photoshoot in the city one day. She looked so tough and awesome that I thought she was going to beat *me* up.

Seriously, Sam? Come be my model again. WTF.

The Prettiest Miranda of Them All and the Dollar Store Bubbles! (obviously an official title)

Amy, Elephant, and some great works of literature. Sort of. Moby Dick can go suck a... well...

Ms. Ashke doing professional model-level vogueing in front of the coolest wall we've ever accidentally stumbled across.

The actual pictures are all larger, of course, but I figured I'd stick them up. I really enjoy playing around with photos, and would always love some new models to add to my fold (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, LEVITICUS!! YOU CAN ONLY SAY NO FOR SO LONG UNTIL YOU GIVE UP BECAUSE I'M REALLY EFFING ANNOYING). But yes. So if anyone sees this and would like to be a model (or if my current models see these and go "hey! I want to take more pictures!", just let me know!! As long as you're somewhat near me. I do this for free, after all.

End of slightly sales-pitchy blog post.
