My computer died. I have everything backed up but for about 4 days I did not know what to do with my life. I couldn’t edit, update my blog, or do any work. It’s crazy that our whole lives depend on those machines. I’ll spare you the details of the painful recovery process (recovering my files, I mean) haha but here’s last week’s image for the 52 Week Project!

This image was a bit of a struggle. Ok, it was a lot of a struggle lol. I had no idea how edit my model’s skin the way I wanted, and I couldn’t find any tutorials on it. I could see the image so clearly in my head but it took multiple edits for me to slowly start figuring it out. I still think it could be done better, and I might revisit it when I have better photoshop skills. But for now, I’m happy with how it turned out 🙂

This week’s theme for the 52 Week Project is poetry, and I’ve already shot my image but didn’t get to edit it yet. I’m trying something new so I’m not sure how it’s gonna look, but keep your fingers crossed! 😀
