TWO ~ I Need To Use Photoshop More. Or Less. (Depending on the Idea)

*sigh*

I’ve been using Photoshop for a long (loooong) time.

To a video editor and motion graphics guy, its invaluable. As a photographic tool, it has come so far and become so vital to professionals that it has been enshrined as a verb.

I love it for what I can do with my photos, and it finishes them like no others… but sometimes I should just stop the ‘Shop.

Before more stupid shit like this happens. Hehe.

Day 359 ~ August 25rd, 2012Ten Things I Have Learned During My 365SEVEN ~ I Seem to Take A Lot of Pictures Right Before BedSometimes it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m lazy or uninspired; nothing like last-minute pressure to get the job done.It&#8217;s also because when I get tired, I get that right amount of loopy-crazy-daring that usually results in a visit to the tickle trunk or some bizarre technique or my clothes being left on the floor or my face contorted in some weird way.In any and all the cases, it&#8217;s a habit that rarely missed it&#8217;s mark this year.(on a side note: eyebrows. gettin&#8217; kinda unruly)

SEVEN ~ I Seem to Take A Lot of Pictures Right Before Bed

Sometimes it’s because I’m lazy or uninspired; nothing like last-minute pressure to get the job done.

It’s also because when I get tired, I get that right amount of loopy-crazy-daring that usually results in a visit to the tickle trunk or some bizarre technique or my clothes being left on the floor or my face contorted in some weird way.

In any and all the cases, it’s a habit that rarely missed it’s mark this year.

Day 358 ~ August 23, 2012 Ten Things I Have Learned During My 365 EIGHT ~ I, Unfortunately, Still Do Give FucksWhen I started this blog, my hope was that by doing it, I would get more comfortable with my body and be able to accept it for what it is.I would consider that mission to be, for the most part, a failure&#8230; but maybe not in all the ways. Maybe the problem lies with the specificity of the original goal and not the end result.I can&#8217;t say that I haven&#8217;t made *some* progress; Starting with the first nude I posted, I learned quickly that the reality of my body is far less monstrous than my brain tells me it is when I am feeling it&#8217;s restrictions, and that&#8217;s a huge step. But, even after many posts, ups and downs, and all arounds, I still totally give fucks. Many of them. Ultimately, I have learned that the difference between accepting one&#8217;s body and having the confidence to post nude pictures of it on the web for all to see is a large and complicated one. The lesson is a difficult one to swallow at times because it means I still have a long, long way to go. Despite all that this 365 has done for me as a person, and the wonderful people it has brought into my life, it can&#8217;t change the fact that when I am alone with my body, I have to work not to loathe it&#8230; and no amount of photographic display is going to change that. Not that I thought being naked here would solve my problems or anything, but I had hoped it would at least spur a little momentum in the right direction&#8230; I suppose that goal has been accomplished to a small degree: I will say that after this 365, it is definitely a little easier to be with myself. It is also, however, a solemn reminder that I must now try something different and real, and treat it with the same commitment as I have this project because I only have myself, my self, to lose.Maybe that&#8217;s the biggest success I could have possibly hoped for.&lt;3

Ten Things I Have Learned During My 365

EIGHT ~ I, Unfortunately, Still Do Give Fucks

When I started this blog, my hope was that by doing it, I would get more comfortable with my body and be able to accept it for what it is.

I would consider that mission to be, for the most part, a failure… but maybe not in all the ways. Maybe the problem lies with the specificity of the original goal and not the end result.

I can’t say that I haven’t made *some* progress; Starting with the first nude I posted, I learned quickly that the reality of my body is far less monstrous than my brain tells me it is when I am feeling it’s restrictions, and that’s a huge step. But, even after many posts, ups and downs, and all arounds, I still totally give fucks. Many of them.

Ultimately, I have learned that the difference between accepting one’s body and having the confidence to post nude pictures of it on the web for all to see is a large and complicated one. The lesson is a difficult one to swallow at times because it means I still have a long, long way to go. Despite all that this 365 has done for me as a person, and the wonderful people it has brought into my life, it can’t change the fact that when I am alone with my body, I have to work not to loathe it… and no amount of photographic display is going to change that. Not that I thought being naked here would solve my problems or anything, but I had hoped it would at least spur a little momentum in the right direction…

I suppose that goal has been accomplished to a small degree: I will say that after this 365, it is definitely a little easier to be with myself. It is also, however, a solemn reminder that I must now try something different and real, and treat it with the same commitment as I have this project because I only have myself, my self, to lose.

Maybe that’s the biggest success I could have possibly hoped for.
