my first blog entry

this is my first blog entry. the pressure is high.

i set up this blog to post my photographs so that i can look at them when i'm bored at work or in class. if the photographs are pretty enough, and have accumulated appreciably enough over a long enough span, i will copy and paste this link to friends and acquaintances to avoid the inevitably uncomfortable situation of physically approaching them to show them a photograph on my camera.

i have had the camera for 1.5 months now.  i have taken 23 pictures in one day. this hobby takes some warming up. i did not post all 23 pictures, since some sucked.

for what it's worth, animas is a play on animus, which is a jungian archetype thing, which i know because i like to read esoterically.

okay here i go.

my first picture on my first camera on my first trip to rock creek park. i think it's actually quite pretty. and sparkly.

i can't make this shit up. dr seuss is alive and well. at least, his tree thing 1 and tree thing 2 are.

see above.

the trick i did here is that it's actually quite bright out. my camera has an "increase creepiness" lighting option.

nature has an "increase creepiness" vine option.

nothing.

god?

god in landscape layout?

love this one. might make it the background theme of my blog maybe.

i made a river look like sewer water. but the leaves at the bottom came out pretty interestingly.

river's pubic hair needs maintenance. (sorry.)

:D this looks like the background of a picture frame!! :D

tilt to 82 degrees and this is not crooked. you're crooked.

sunshine!

less saturation

this looked amazing in person. like a river of light flowing down through the grass. i'm working on making the camera see what my face sees.

nothing.

the leaves were so bright against the grey of everything else. really hard to capture though. zooming in might help, i thought.

hm. not quite. maybe there are other buttons to press?

eh. sorta. i need to get photoshop. or basic skills.

nothing. - on my way to get a sandwich.

if you are still looking at this, thank you. please don't try to find me. i'm terrified of the internet and of all of you, and i'm not that stable myself.

cheers!
