Day 6
So it’s day 6 of 365 Days of Carol Anne. *laughs* Are you sick of me yet? For what it’s worth I like this pic. I think I look happy. I think my skin looks good. My lips are dry but by and large I think my face looks nice tonight. I still have to figure out how to better regulate the lights so that I’m not either too lit or too dark but that’ll come in time. Just think you might eventually get to see my real skin tone. *laughs*
Day 5
I may have found a better spot to take my daily photo. There is a ledge in between the kitchen and entryway. I can put my laptop down on a solid surface and stand there without having to hold or balance anything. I just have to work out the light. I recognize that this photo is a little dark. I’ll work on that.
Day 4
Today’s photo was taken right after I came in from my afternoon walk. I have some color in my cheeks. LOL
I never had nice hair but I miss it. I know this project is about learning to love myself and not be horrified by looking at photos of myself but today I miss my hair. I think once my scars are all healed and I have a nice wig I’ll go have my makeup done somewhere. I suppose though that doesn’t really fit with the spirit of this project so perhaps I’ll write an entirely separate post about that when the time comes.
Day 3
This is my attempt at photographing myself in some natural light at the front door. What I didn’t take into account when I first thought of this *cough* great *cough* idea was that A. I’d have nowhere to put the laptop down and B. I’d have to hold it out in front of me and somehow balance it on one hand while I pushed the photo button. I wanted to show that my skin is neither as red nor as pale as it’s photographed in the first two pics. I’m not sure this is much better, but I’ll figure it out as I go. I’ll eventually come up with a way to photograph myself while not looking down at the keyboard or balancing the laptop while trying to smile and not look at the keyboard. I need Tyra Banks to teach me how to “Smize”. *laughs*
