It’s Holly

it all started because chantal was hell bent on stealing my glasses – all day long. turns out, she stole ‘em at night too. so i made everyone steal them.

i’ve dropped the “ghetto” from the studio4. here’s what you missed Friday:

it’s so wrong, but so right.

yes, that is a mcdonalds french fry dipped in a mcdonalds sundae. if you’ve tried it, you know i’m speaking truth. if you’re looking at your monitor in disgust and wondering why we’re friends, then you obviously need to scoot on down to your local mcdonalds and give this mess a try. big ups to kaye for hookin’ a sista up.

don’t knock it ’til you try it.

So, most of you know I’m pretty big on taking photos. I heard someone say “pictures, or it didn’t happen”, which is my new motto. Take pictures, or it didn’t happen! So, I’ve decided to take my photo taking to another level and try to work with “studio” lights, and by “studio” lights I mean garage work lights from Home Depot and Lowes. And voila, ghetto-rigged studio galore!

Mikee’s been helping me with the technical aspects… fstops and ISOs and shutter speeds and whatnot, since I’m not so good at that stuff. I like to think I have an “eye” for photography, but don’t necessarily know how to capture exactly what I want, so I rely on photoshop a lot. The goal with the ghetto set up is to get more technically proficient, so maybe I can sell some stock photos someday, make a little scrill on the side… who knows. Here’s the first (photoshopped by mikee) shot out of the GhettoStudio4 (the official name of my studio that I just made up as I was typing).

i hate it when people stand in the freezer section of the grocery store with the freezer door wide open looking at all of their options. the door is made of glass so you can see through it, not so you can hold it open, complain about it being cold (true story), then subsequently fog up all the other glass doors when someone (mainly me) is trying to pick out her 5 for $10 lean cuisines.

stop it, please.

because he did a much better post than i would have…

Big ups to Antoine, a.k.a. Mr. Day Job @ IHMDJ, for the tweet about The Bradley Effect, and how it could possibly effect Barack Obama’s presidential bid and explain the latest surge of the McCain/Palin massacre in the polls. Inneresting stuff.

Read up, it explains a lot.
