::principle::

The stars do not create your values.

You set your values as guidelines to light your way.

So please, choose them wisely.

::alive::

Sometimes, you murmur that we just need to survive.

Instead, I’m screaming that we need to thrive.

::abstract::

Maybe it has meaning.

Maybe it doesn’t.

That doesn’t stop it from being fascinating.

::distance::

 

Far enough to wish.

Close enough to sparkle.

::reality::

 

I laugh.

I cry.

I feel.

I am not a shadow.

::pleasure?::

The fault is mine.

And the pleasure isn’t.

I’m sorry I’ll always remain imperfect.

::feathered::

Have those of a feather separated?  Parted?  Gone their own ways?

I guess it’s inevitable.

It’s been a while since I last posted a picture that I’ve photoshopped or edited.  Mostly because I’ve been focussing more on photography lately.  However, today, I rediscovered working in Photoshop.  I’ve been using GIMP for the past couple years, and switching over to Photoshop has been a challenge at times.

But today, something clicked.  And here’s one of the results.

The Dark [K]night

I love playing with light.  A whole bunch.  This is one of my favorite experimentations with it.  I lit a candle, made my little brother put his Batman costume on, and placed him next to the light.  I had to set up my tripod for this one, since I was shooting at night.  Since it was rather dark out, I had to work with a slower shutter speed and pray that my brother wouldn’t move.  : P

Well, he did.  But I managed to get at least one really good picture before he lost his concentration.
