I took this photo yesterday morning (at about 1:45am haha, hence the title) :) I hadn't actually taken a self-portrait in a really long time, so I thought I'd break that streak and just take a simple photo, and this is what I came up with. The lighting was from my laptop screen and my bedroom light, so it's nothing special really, but I thought it looked kind of interesting! Typical me, I played around in Photoshop too much and ended up with these three versions of, effectively, the same photo. Also, of course, I am one of the most indecisive people in the world, so, after trying to choose which one to post for a good 20 minutes, I thought I might as well upload all of them and just show you what I came with. :) I hate to admit it, but I am actually quite happy with how they turned out! They're quite different to what I usually come up with natural lighting, I like the colours and focus, and the bottom pictures sort of make me think of stills from a film of some sort, which is pretty cool! (I am so easily amused.) 
Well, as you may have noticed, I'm trying to be more active on here, and I'm also trying to get back into the habit of actually taking photos more often, because, other than the odd Polaroid (that I'll actually be posting here soon as well), up until a couple of days ago, I hadn't actually picked up my camera for a couple of months! I'd just been doing my drawings... But, oh well, onwards and upwards, I go! I hope you're all happy and well :)

Love, Mari-ann
