Before and After...

 I am very VERY proud of this image. This is the first time since I've started this photography thing that I have succeeded in something important. I have successfully created an image that matched exactly what was in my head. I needed photoshop to do it, but I have since learned that with Conceptual Photography, this is often the case. You don't need photoshop, but it helps a lot. So here it is. The before and after. Like I said. I'm so incredibly proud of this image. It could suck, people could hate it. I don't care. It represents sooo much hard work and dedication. I can't wait to see where I'm at in a year and compare it to now. Because when I compare my images from last year to now, it's insane how much better I have become. Here's a toast to a great photographic year!!
