An afternoon photo-shoot

Hey!

Been busy this afternoon, couldn't go to an Alicorn Party at my friend's house like I was supposed to, we got snowed in.

SO, since I was kinda sad that the party wasn't happening today, and we couldn't go see out friends, I decided to have myself a little photo shoot, inspired by Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland.

I designed my costume (based on clothes in my wardrobe already), I shot the photos (thanks to my webcam, and it is not easy shooting that many photos with a webcam), I edited the photos (which wasn't very hard honestly, I do it all the time, I love my editing program), and I modeled in the pictures (which is not something that I normally do, I really am not very photogenic usually, today wasn't so bad).

So, I thought I might post the edited ones that didn't go into the trash!

 Me, sitting in front of the mirror of my vanity, I was pretending I could go through the mirror, which is something I have always wanted to do.

Again, at the mirror.

 My feet, with my Rainbow Bright Socks!

 Again, at my mirror. 

This one was kind of hard. I taped all the cards to my ceiling and wall, and then was standing on my desk, in heels, teetering at the edge because I was afraid of knocking my lamp onto the floor.

 I was sitting on my dresser (more like balancing on the dresser, I could barely stay on). This was really hard to hit the button to start the countdown taking the picture, then I had 3 seconds to get into position and hold my breath so I didn't fall off.

 Again, standing on my desk.

 This was probably the easiest to take. I had to run back over to the dresser after hitting the button, and just kinda lean.

And last, me, reading, in my converse, because everyone needs a picture in their converse! (The book was supposed to be Alice in Wonderland because that is the theme of the photo shoot, but I couldn't find our copy, so I was using Little Women instead).

After I was done, I showed my mom the finished pictures, and she said she was glad that I was doing this artwork. I never really considered myself an *artist* because when I think of traditional art, I think of painting and drawing, which I am really not good at. 

But I like setting up photo shoots and designing outfits and doing makeup and cutting hair and editing things and stuff like that.  

And now that my mom mentions it, I guess I am an artist, just not a the kind of artist the rest of my family is.

Anyway, I just thought I would share some moments in my afternoon!

I think my next photo shoot might be a Carnie look (maybe a Darkmoon Carnie? After all, that's what I am!)

Cheers!
