this post is entirely about me

[green_apple]

Because it was my birthday recently and being a quarter of a century old makes me feel like I should really show off the stuff I've accomplished. Which are few and thus, this is mostly about me telling myself that THEY ARE NOT LITTLE BECAUSE THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO ME. It kind of worries me that these are conversations I keep needing to have with myself.

Fair Warning: Extremely amateur photography ahead.

I guess it would also be fair to warn for many 'this is my mommy and she sincerely believes in making me happy which means letting me take pictures of her' type of pics, plus the fact that I've just discovered some of the cool things I can do with GIMP. There are eighteen (18) pictures under the cut, so  beware of my ego ye dial-up users.

Bogotá. Remember those posts where I waxed poetics (sans the actually poetic part) about this city? Yeah, still happening.








(I'm still proud of this one because this a long-exposure shot done WITHOUT A TRIPOD. It could have been so much worse.)

My mom. Who likes to have fun with balls of yarn and cute winter hats that protect her recently-shaved head. And is also very pretty.











Randomness.



















And that's that. Thank you for your time, hope you enjoyed yourself and your eyeballs aren't bleeding. I'll come back later to regale you with tales about my phone conversations with the brother, as requested by Sonam, as well as to answer some questions misscam left for me in a meme-thing ages ago.

Love y'all lots! And please, stay safe if you're anywhere near a riot site in England. Please.

Your mom is gorgeous. And I love your pictures. You have such an interesting eye and I love the angles of some of your pictures.

Those are really lovely photos! And I have a pair of earring EXACTLY LIKE YOUR MOM'S! They are my fave.

OMG THAT DOG. AND I DON'T EVEN GENERALLY LIKE DOGS

I look at theses and all I see is future stock icons.

Or picture prompts.

...but that's because I like to simplify the world down to writing or graphics. Because I'm insane.

These are really lovely pics, in case that wasn't clear.

Love the water on the branches and the pics of your Mum look like they're from an interview XD

I absolutely LOVE the second one of branches - the definition of it is striking. beauuutiful.

A+ on the long exposure one, for real. I can never ever get them without just being a massive blur, ahaha.

Also your mum is so pretty!

basically THESE ARE ALL VERY VERY VERY LOVELY and you should be proud <3333

Also, come talk to me about GIMP? I've been debating downloading it for a while - mainly bc my version of photoshop is 2.0 (yes, yes you did read that correctly. There is so little on it that I've never really bothered learning how to do anything slightly exciting on it, hah) but I legit cannot justify buying a new one, ahah. I heard something about GIMP being difficult to learn how to use? What are your thooooughts??

(...I have a half-written email to you sitting in my inbox. Got a friend coming for the weekend, so if I don't find time to finish it before then, TUESDAY FOR SURE <333)
