Double Exposure

In photography, double exposure is a process where, for whatever reason (failure to forward film, on purpose, etc.), the film is exposed twice in the same frame. When film was the main source of photography, this process was rare but still possible (a neat trick with the Holga). However, with digital photography, there is no accidental or natural double exposure. This saddens me because what results of a double exposure is often extremely cool. Thus, I created my own digital double exposure using photoshop and various blending properties.

Inspired

I recently heard about the R&B artist Elle Varner and was quite intrigued when in the interview, they asked her about her unique style. This prompted me to do an image search to see what they were talking about. I was instantly in love with her quirky, eclectic style. Below are just a few of my favorite outfits of hers.

2013

Happy 2013!

I have a lot in store for this blog for this year. I've finally decided to jump start this thing again. I've missed blogging for a while but haven't been too sure what to make of it. However, I've had a little bit of a lightbulb moment while contemplating my possible new year's resolutions.

So keep checking back for an update, as well as a new layout. As for any religious debates that never seem to end in the comments, I will refrain from fueling them so they might as well cease.

Photography

It's been quite a while, hasn't it? I'm not even sure why I'm posting this out of the blue. I just feel like posting some of my recent photography that I've just completed editing.

Enjoy!

Blog Shop Open!!!

I finally got around to getting my blog shop up and running! If you'd like to head over that way, check it out here:

{HFW Update}

I am sad to report this news but unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in HFW this time around. It's something I've enjoyed since the beginning and was looking forward to it this time as well. However, the next week is one of the hardest for me in grad school. Basically I have an extremely challenging oral exam and presentation that will determine a lot for me.

If I outright fail, which I don't foresee happening, I could fail out of graduate school (if I fail a retake as well). What is a more likely possibility, though, is not failing but still performing poorly. I'm working on being less dramatic about things. This exam isn't life or death nor will I flunk out of school in one fail. I will, however, be quite embarrassed about doing poorly and I need to do well so I do not waste time. My intention is to switch to the PhD program and if I do poorly on this exam, there's less of a chance I can do so. Plus, who wants to retake a high stress, anxiety-ridden oral exam on just about everything they've ever learned?

If I was intelligent, I would have taken my outfit shots weeks ago when things weren't in such high stress mode. I did not do this, however, so this is why I regret having to say I'm sitting this one out. I look forward to seeing everyone else's beautiful looks!

{My Current Obsession}

I have an obsession with colored denim. I've always had an odd inclination for wearing bright colors. A few years ago I spotted a photo of some unimportant celebrity wearing green pants and that is when I decided I needed a pair in my life. Well, it's taken a few years to acquire said pants but nonetheless, I have found my perfect pair! I'm kind of in love with them.
