progress for the sake of progress

this is my photoshop face.

i am wearing this face because today,

i did something thats usually a bit uncomfortable and nerve-wracking for me. 

i took pictures of someone. 

now, it may not seem like a big deal, but let me fill you in. 

remember how i said its uncomfortable for me to take pictures of people and be in charge?

 and that its something i should work on? 

well, i called up my friend cortney and asked 

if she would let me take some pictures of her pretty little face. 

i may have panicked a little earlier today 

when i realized that the only person i have ever really taken pictures of are jace and jenna,

who pose themselves, and know what to do from a photographic standpoint, 

but cort was a darling model who helped the process become a bit easier

with her sense of humor, similar to my own, and easygoing nature. 

i'm no professional at this stuff. but i really do love doing it. 

and i can't help but thinking that for one of the first times, 

i really like practicing and working harder than i ever have to become as good as i can get.

and some may not think my pictures are that great, 

and granted, they're not as good as others.

but they're mine and i took them. 

and i can't believe i did.
