For Aunt Peggy...

Mom had told me about 15-20 minutes ago that Aunt Peggy had wanted to know how I edit the pictures and what kind of camera I use, and other questions like that. So here's the answer to those questions:

How I Edit:
I don't really like to edit the pictures much, because I think it takes something away from the original scene/person/etc. Therefore, I don't use masques anymore like I use to, and I really only change the brightness (since I tend to mess up the white balance), the contrast and sometimes the hues of the colors. After that, I just add the watermark, and it's done.


The Editing Software I Use:
I use a program called Photofiltre, which is the French version of Photoshop. It works just as well as Photoshop, but I think it's less cluttered and easier to use. It's a free download, and you can get it here.

My Camera:
I use a Sony Cybershot DSC-S700. It has 7.2 megapixels. It's silver in color. (See picture.) Like I previously mentioned, I really want a Nikon D40 or D60.

Career:
Despite the fact that I have a lot of nature pictures, I really want to be a fashion photographer for a magazine, preferably one that I read now (GL, Seventeen, CosmoGirl or Teen Vogue). I also want to do freelance photography on the side, since I like to take pictures of nature.

By the way, I got my dress for my 16th party in the mail today, and once I look semi-decent (I just got home from band camp), and the dress is ironed, I'll do another self-portrait of me and it and add it.
