DAY THIRTY!!!!!!!!!!! (pictures)

HEY YOU GUYS! It's finally day thirty! (I guess in reality it's day fifty-something, but who's counting?) Today is another picture edit day.

I started with this, and then I wished it had more colour, so I did the magical saturation thing again.

I really like it! I'm not sure how it looks on my computer versus how it looks on your computer, but to me it looks wonderful. (I learned that computer screens can drastically affect how a picture looks.)

Anyway. That's it. No big bang or anything.

Overall Highlights: being creative, making magnets, having a few inspired novel-writing days, whiteboard, and bookmarks.

Overall Lowlights: stupid japanese papercraft boxes, stupid menswear bunny, stupid laptop bag, losing inspiration for my novel, resorting to Ikea picture frames, and not actually completing this challenge within the desired timeframe.

Day Twenty-Nine: fairy land!

Hey guys! Look! Two days in a row!

This is what I did today. My bedroom initially looked like this.

A few years ago I went to my cousin's house nearby to Christmas, and she had taken silver tree balls and tied fishing wire to them and then stuck them in the ceiling, so the whole place looked like a fairy land! I loved that room. I would lie on the floor and gaze at the ceiling. When I got home, I bought some tiny purple tree balls and some fishing wire, but then I didn't do anything with them because I am lazy.

But then I did this!

Turns out I didn't get enough for my whole room.

When I lie in my bed at night this is what I gaze at:

I promise you it looks better than these pictures. I am so excited!

Day Twenty-Nine Highlights: now I live in a fairy land.

Day Twenty-Nine Lowlights: waiting so long to do this, not having enough to do my whole room.

Tomorrow: probably some other pictures of my new hometown!

Day Twenty-Eight: pictures

Hey guys! It's totally the next day after my last post. I am super good at completing the goals I set out for myself, and thirty days is a completely manageable time frame in which to complete something!

Ahem. Excuse #1: I moved and started a new job. Excuse #2: I only got a camera yesterday. And here's what I did with it!

This is outside my classroom. I have the best view in the entire world.

Then I used Picasa from Google to make it more blue and also increased the saturation. From what I can tell, increasing the saturation makes the colours stand out more. (Don't quote me on that. I don't know anything about photography or free programs you can download to edit your pictures. Mostly I'm just like, "Hm, I'll slide around this little knobby and see how it makes my picture different!")

Then I decided that I didn't really like the playground on the side, or the apartment buildings, so I cropped it.

And there it is. I don't know - I was all super keen to get a camera so I could take pictures of how beautiful it is here, but I quickly came to realize that if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a camera, what you see and what you capture on digital film is not the same. Oh well, at least I was creative! Yay, me!

Day Twenty-Eight Highlights: finally taking pictures of my spectacular view.

Day Twenty-Eight Lowlights: figuring out photo editing programs, trying to compress pictures, lacking follow-through.

Tomorrow: more pictures, probably! I might just take a bunch tomorrow and the pretend it was spread out over a few days, since I thought that this post would be day twenty-nine. WILL THIS NEVER END.
