Sunrise at Coast Guard Base

This one is my favourite, and I'm nto afraid to tell why.

I've always looked at pictures in magazines (Popular Photography, natch) and seen such professional shots. When I was out at the RI Coast Guard Base in Narragansett with my father, I saw an opportunity for a perfect shot. Well, we were on a photo-taking expedition, but I had been looking for this for so long. "Sunrise at Coast Guard Base" is my favourite picture from that trip. Why? Because, see where the sunrise is, and there's the line with the pinkish dot, then the light's all blown out? That's the shot I have been looking for for thirteen years. I found it.

Perfect timing, too.

Dear World,
The day has come. In a mere five and a half hours, I will be on the road to Indianapolis. I am so freakin' excited I could explode. (Bad metaphor, I know. I suck at figurative speech)

That's all for now, m'dear!!
~~H-A

PS. The bad thing about this is that I have to drink a whole pitcher of lemonade. I made a new one yesterday, forgetting that we can't leave it in the fridge while we're gone. I'm working on glass #4!

Nipah!!!!

If I said I was a super tall blonde man who was secretly NOT a kitty ninja, I'd be lying.

I'm a short girl with brown hair and I AM a kitty ninja. But there's more to me. I love so much, like this:

-cosplaying
-bowling
-eating (though I'm still super skinny)
-playing violin + cello
-writing
-drawing
-reenacting scenes from my fanfictions
-fangirling
-talking
-creating cool things out of everyday materials (hello! duct tape cat ears. Rhinestone-encrusted, natch)
-taking pictures with my dad
-watching anime online (Ayashi no Ceres, Naruto, Fushigi Yuugi, Chobits, etc.)
-texting, natch
-reading
BEING A NORMAL (hehehe) TEENAGER!!

My favorite music is J-Rock, J-Pop, J-Tech, and J-D-Metal. My bands are the following:

-Malice Mizer
-Moi dix Mois
-S.K.I.N.
-Miyavi
-Kamui Gackt
-Ayumi Hamasaki
-Melody_Of_Angel
-X Japan
-Teriyaki Boiz
-Utada Hikaru

I like releasing my inner Harajuku girl. 'Nuff said.

Okay! Details!!
-Miyavi has made me want to learn guitar, and Malice Mizer made me want to learn harpsichord and organ.

-I consider myself a professional photographer in-the-making. I will take after my super-cool father.

-By writing as a hobby, I mean 24/7. I sometimes stay up very, very late just writing something I might forget about. It's not an interest, it's a passion.

-I have a weird thing where everything I discover I get addicted to. This also includes "romances" with anime characters. Hey, writers have huge imaginations. What can I say?

-I draw as another interest, but I'm not good at all. Portraits with simple features and no shading is as far as I go.

Here's the story behind my interesting photowork.
As a girl brought up on SLR cameras and taught so much about the photographer's world, I developed an eye. An eye for texture, pattern, colour, contrast, and very interesting, non-everyday things in life. Modern structures and interesting buildings stick out to me much more than they would to anyone else. So when I am in a situation where there is bright colour or neat patterns, I snap it. Then, I might use Photoshop to fine-tune. I've always said this, and proved it likewise: The Saturation bar is my favourite tool on there. That, and the Spot Correction. It's these things that a photographer turns to when his/her shot doesn't come out as good as it could be. So we take advantage of it and use it whenever necessary.


Enough for now. Sayonara!!
