I decided to make a new thread because I didn't like my old one anymore. In fact I felt quite ashamed for it. When I browsed through it, I often wondered what I must have been thinking when I posted this stuff...
Especially my photography was horrible. Now I have made some experience with taking photos, photoshop and everything that belongs to this.
I just thought it was time to make a new start. So hopefully this thread will be more worth watching than the last one:)

First, I'd like to show you what I've made so far:

Honey, your art was always amazing. There was nothing to be ashamed of in your old thread. Although, I guess it's a good idea to start a new one because it organizes your work.
I love your photo manipulations, but your macro shots prove you have serious talents. Hope to see new stuff soon!

I have some new macro shoots of ice. I've already posted two but I took some more shoots:
and I have only two new photomanipulations:( the reason is the bad weather. I just don't have enough light to take more, though I really want to and I have so many ideas.

Thank you!!! <333
So here's some new stuff:
To this photo I was inspired by a drawing the fabulous Craig (orgo) made. It's also the tattoo on apryl's back. watch it here: drawing + tat (http://www.evboard.com/showpost.php?p=887475&postcount=476)
on the grave stone it says: "I love the night, it would murder my soul, should I ever fall blind" ,Cradle of Filth
anyways here are two selfportraits:
1.http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/782/portrait1ze2.th.jpg (http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portrait1ze2.jpg) 2.http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4800/portrait2oy1.th.jpg (http://img146.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portrait2oy1.jpg)
It feels like her life is a puzzle/game, and she's been 'defeated' so to speak.
Really powerful image.

Wow, the ice cube studies are very bold. You have good sense of value and composition on those.
I also liked the self-portrait photo-manipulation work a lot: great asymmetry in the composition and wonderful textures. It needs the strong value contrast you have in the ice cube pics to really send it over the top.
Can't wait to see more!

that's it for today...I'm planning some more photomanipulation like the one I did based on craig's drawing. but I have to wait till the weather gets better and I get more light.
Today and tomorrow I'm going to an open air concert. e.g. the rasmus play there. I'll post some photos of there, too, if it doesn't rain, cause I don't want my cam to get wet:)

guys, the openair was awesome!! it was raining all the time, my feet were wet for 2 days, I was freaking cold, the tent was very small, but still - the atmosphere was amazing. there were so many bands and all performances were cool.
here are some photographs, I couldn't take many, cause I didn't want my darling cam to get wet:
well..that's what I meant when I described the whole thing:

I also had the chance to meet some bands. I met lovebugs (see picture) for like the 1000000th time, got an autograph again. lol they kinda know me now^^
I met revolverheld, lol, I never thought that I could be interested in them:D
and I met the rasmus.lol. lauri is soooooooooooooooooo short. he's not taller than me (5'4''). there were a lot of people there so my friend and I couldn't talk to the band so long...they said they were sorry for the bad weather, as the bad weather is coming from finland. lol
you can see lauri's funny face here:

Lucky you, getting to go to a concert and all that, looks like you had tons of fun.
The Infection was crazy. It startled me a bit to see you tried something new. I would like to see you do more macabre work. Infection was a good start, but I think you could take it farther.

you're the best, guys!
Please take a look at these two pictures that I took yesterday. The room was dark, the only light was that bright thing you see on the pics. And the piano was dirty. but I'm really in love with how they turned out.
here's "plays no more":
1.http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4674/playsnomorefq6.th.jpg (http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=playsnomorefq6.jpg) 2.http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5066/playsnomore2uy7.th.jpg (http://img215.imageshack.us/my.php?image=playsnomore2uy7.jpg)
here's another photomanipulation with the shoot for "a thousand oceans". Sorry I actually had another one, but it got lost, and I couldn't take new photos because:
a) my eyes' excemas(sp?) got really bad and I sometimes couldn't even see alright. and they were red and small:(
b) my mouth's excema got worse again and my mouth looked big and red:(
c) I was sick almost the whole week. :(
hope you understand me:p
"my immortal"

The photo is beautiful. The piano really looks old and hasn't been used in a long time (maybe it hasn't I don't know lol), but it's really lovely.
And the photo manipulation is gorgeous too.
