Not good enough of a photographer yet to get away with un-post-processed photos I guess :) Sometimes I get lucky, though!

To my own credit, though, self-portraits with a self-timer are omega difficult. I need a new model. Makes me wish I had a sister or something.

The photos below were so-so in their original form, but they came out pretty awesome after working on them for a minute or so. The one on the left makes me look horrible (there's that eye-baggage again) but the shadows and contrast came out so wonderfully that I had to post it. I went the complete opposite direction with the one on the right, choosing to over-brighten and over-saturate it.

I'm actually really loving how tore-up that balcony is, now, even though it's a total eyesore. Makes me hope that my parents never fix it up the way they keep saying they're going to.
