Playing with You Tube

After about noon yesterday my head began to clear and started to feel much better. I felt well enough to go have a nice dinner with my hubby at a local Chinese restaurant (proper Chinese food- no fried rice and triple battered chicken in red sauce).

I started a new project last night. I felt like I wanted some cool black and white head shots for a bio on my website (yeah- that's not done yet either) so I shot 176 self portraits in front of a black curtain with a black wrap over my shoulders. I did four different hair syles and threw on some make-up. Black and white photography helped to hide a lot of the blotchy skin so I was rather amazed to find out. In fact, I had about 35 shots I was happy with this morning when I downloaded them.

Since I had so many pleasing shots I thought, "why not play with Window's Movie Maker" and create a youtube video. So I threw them all together with some titles, exploding graphics, and an audio clip and I created a self portrait video. It's on youtube and also on my profile here (I think).

Perhaps I should think about making more videos- they're not too hard to do (a little time consuming for the perfectionist) and I could start showcasing artwork too.

Hmmmmmmm.... more projects to do...
