this post is entirely about me

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.





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

Hahaha, that dog is an old lady whom I've spent years trying to photograph semi-decently but she wouldn't let me because moving around is way more important than making your master happy. UNTIL I CAUGHT HER IN A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS aka old age.

Feel free to use them as you wish, credit would be nice but altogether not very important. DO AND UNDO, SISTER.

Writing is pretty much ALL THERE IS, and if you stretch the definition a bit further, these count as graphics too, so I totally get where you're coming from. We're insane together, that's the whole foundation of our interactions.

Thank you!!11!1 those are my favorites as well (the wet branches and my mommy), so see above point. XD
