The Drag Queen Explosion *edit for photos*
Jul. 3rd, 2011 01:21 amI know I was just in Portland... but I'm currently in Hollywood right now, for a couple of days.. Just got back from this amazing event..www.labyrinthmasquerade.com/
Clicky.
I am currently covered in glitter..and it looks like a drag queen has exploded in our hotel room.
I also filled my memory card on my camera... That place was a photographer's wet dream.
Am very tired... have sooo many photos to go through and edit. I wore a ton of scalemail for the event and did a little networking. I made a couple of custom pieces just for this event. Got a lot of compliments and photos taken... Business AND Pleasure! It was a LOT of fun.
Driving BACK to Portland tomorrow.. then visiting friends before heading back down the coast ...stopping along the way to spend some time in the Redwoods... then stopping again to see Sara Jo.. and hopefully a couple of other people.. I do need to get back to Arizona and start doing mass production... This trip was a little more expensive than I anticipated... but totally worth it.
Very, very tired.. but can't wait to get to editing photos.
Ok sleepy... but too excited to edit photos so I'm cranking through a few ...
This is the first one I really wanted to get to... some shots you are just NOT allowed to miss. I also have ZERO experience doing candid shots of strangers..so this was fun. Candid are so much harder than I thought they would be.. I'm loving the challenge..
"Dreaming"
I think it might be coming to the point where I should start setting money aside for a new camera. I love my little Canon Powershot S5IS... but it's only an 8 megapixel.. and doing evening shots I am getting a hell of a lot of noise. Plus..it's starting to develop some "quirks". I would also ( again..I know I've said this before), like to start learning about what the hell I'm doing. There is still so much I am clueless about. I see things from an artist's point of view... but .. I feel like a child. With the bright ideas in my head and nothing but grubby, uncoordinated hands grabbing for fistfuls of crayons and stabbing papers, hoping for a masterpiece to emerge.
And I STILL have no clue about where to even start with Photoshop. There are tons of tutorials online...I just need to sit my butt down and learn. I have Photoshop Light...which should tide me over for awhile I would think.
Really...I'm going to sleep now. Honest.
