My friend Shannon and I decided to hit the road looking for some places to shoot today. I had found this train bridge the other day so we went there first to get some shots.
I used Jenn H's Vintage Vanilla Cherry action on the following photo.
A retro bowling alley sign that we found. I used Coffee Shop's Double Shot Color Pop action on this pic.
I just realized that I take a lot of catywompass (however you spell that) pictures....but I love them like that!
I thought the theme fit perfectly for me getting ready for my first date this year...
Jewelry all on...now time to do the hair.
Hair completed...still no makeup.
And the makeup process, or some of it anyways.
The completed me...
And me with my new coat on....what he will see the first time he sees me in person...
What a girl has to go through for a guy....hehehe!ETA - For those wondering, I set up my tripod in the bathroom doorway and shot these with my wireless remote.
My friend Shannon and I went to a thrift store/consignment store today called 'Good Juju'. They hold their sale only one weekend a month and this was my second time going there. You never know what you will find - there are always some goodies there! And some goodies that I'm not willing to forck over the money for. One item, in particular, that I liked was the mirror in the dressing room that said 'Yes, you are the fairest of them all.'
So, here are a few shots from Good Juju - all taken with my p&s cam and with my lomo action applied to them.
An old fashioned birdcage with some silver Christmas ornaments in it.
A hot pink chandalier which very much reminds me of Val.
An old candy machine. I liked that it was a mirror with the words 'Fresh Candy' on it....I tried to get a self portrait in the mirror with 'fresh candy', but it didn't work out so well.
And last but not least, a very poorly shot picture of me late tonight....just wanted to show off the new hair cut - chopped off my long hair today! It doesn't look as good tonight as it did earlier today - my hair doesn't hold volume very well and it always ends up flat by the evening.
Here is my January 1st photo, or should I say photos? I'm bad at following rules...hehe...I couldn't decide which I liked better so I thought I would post both.
I used Pioneer Woman's Vintage action on both of these images.
Camera used: Canon Rebel xTi
Settings for both images: 1/200 5.0 400
