Thursday - COMMON EXISTENCE In Stores 2/17

Blaine, Kaley, Justo, and myself are all going out for dinner tonight. We felt like getting dressed up and this is my result: Rodarte dress, leggings, side pony tail, and Chuck Taylors :] Hehe we're going to Olive Garden like this. The same place where people dress in jeans and nasty t-shirts... then again, that's everywhere here. I hate the trash that comes to my town.

hanging out w. patrick at hudson bar after we left the holiday bash at my moms. once we found the photo booth we were obsessed.. did about 3 sets of pictures.. there is nothing better than a classic photo booth w. black&white pictures..

Hi all. Just returned from South Carolina where I spent Christmas with the family. It was great to see everyone but OH MY was it sweet to return to Houston! Hope all of you had a fabulous Christmas! Richmond arrives tomorrow from Tokyo for a week with me here in H-Town. I am sure we'll be busy!

My tripod is basically broken
It won't stand properly anymore :(
These are my sister's glasses
I haven't told her I took them yet...
I'm hoping to avoid telling her

I'm thinking about getting a shot or two from the show printed out to poster size at Walgreens soon. This will most likely be one of them.

i won't recap, but its been quite a rough year. there have been some good memories though.

 

best moments:

* Last ever gig at the Astoria

* Valentines

* Many London trips

* Eating sugar lumps and cake in the middle of a random field

* Cousin's wedding

* Reading Festival

* California

* Getting a 1st class honours degree

* Placebo at the o2

* Xmas gig

 

things i've learnt this year:

* i don't put enough faith in myself

* i'm alot braver and more capable than i thought i was

* no matter how good someone is for me, if i don't have feelings for them, being with them won't make me happy

* i have some amazing friends

* ben and jerry's ice cream is actually vegetarian

* i got a lot more stuff done when i didn't have a facebook page

* how to drive (vaguely)

* even when things get really bad, i can still go out with the people i love and be…

Let's face it, ladies: Landcapes get boring after a while, especially if you don't have a 10 billion dollar camera or whatever. So how can we make ordinary shots of the world around us look more exciting? That's right: By photoshopping them! Yay, let's start!

As always, I'm editing in Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Mac). These instructions work with any version of Photoshop CS, and there are only minor changes for Photoshop Elements. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

{Essential instructions are in bold.}

{Ignore the copius spelling errors.}

We are going to turn this average landscape into a golden wonderland place!

**When choosing a photo to stylize, make sure that it's averagely lit, well-framed, and fairly clear. Your 'scape doesn't need to look like this, but make sure that the following techniques will be useful for your own picture.

Step One: The Warm-Up…

We asked you to pull out your creepiest tales for AFI and, in return, you'd receive a G10 camera full of images taken by the band themselves. We're happy to announce that we've chosen a winner, who will receive a (slightly used) Canon G10 and a memory card full of photos of AFI. Find out who won and get a preview of the images you'll get to see throughout the week.

You can find out who won the AFIles contest inside...

Winner: Creppin802
