HEY!!
YOU!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
DID YOU WASH YOUR HANDS?!?!
GET BACK!!!
I HAVE A PICKLE AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO SLAP YOU WITH IT!!!
Did you bring gloves?
I would give you some sanitizer, but we are all out!
SEE!
Shelves, empty. No tissues, no toilet paper, no soaps. The virus has made its way into town. Schools are closing, events are canceled. No one is allowed to be in large groups. People are being told to stay home, even if they get infected. Lockdown is happening. Mass hysteria. Hopefully it all goes away soon. Things will go back to normal eventually. ANYWAYS!! Today marks the 11th anniversary of when I started the YouTube channel, this blog, and a bunch of other things. Another year has gone by. Yet, here I am. Still at home, still going through the motions. This post isn’t going to be as interesting as the 10 Years post, sorry. Nothing to talk about. However, things are picking up. The job is getting busier and busier. I’m still not to the point of living on my own, but it’s getting there. I’ve enjoyed re-editing my storm videos and I’ve been slowly re-uploading them, starting with 2013. You can watch them on the channel. We have yet to have a storm this year. In 2013, we had our first storm in January and our first serious storm in March… I think. In 2014 and 2015 storms popped up in February. So this has been a slow year. It’s still freezing outside. We’ll get a storm eventually. What else is going on…. Hmmmmm. There’s not a lot. Which is why I haven’t done a photo in a month… And why I didn’t have a photo for a month before that. SPEAKING OF PHOTOS!! ONTO THE PHOTO! I didn’t know what the photos as going to be at first. I totally forgot about my 11th year of the blog and whatnot. I remember about it just a few days ago. I almost missed the date! Anyways, I looked at the past years to see what I could do. I came up with the idea of blending a few of my past projects together. I wanted to have 11 of me, so I figured they would all be in different colored shirts. Like the Shirts Project. I wanted them to be in a row, like in half of Picture 333. But I wanted them to be getting slightly smaller as they went down the line. And lastly, I wanted it to have a black background with some moody lighting. Like Picture 429, a Portrait of a Lonely Soul. That was the cool part. Being able to go back and use my own photos for ideas and examples, because I’ve done some many different styles. So I had the idea, I just had to shoot it. That was the easy part. I thought the editing would be hard, but it actually wasn’t. I used a different technique than what I used for the Shirt Project and the process was easier and faster. Once it was all put together, I did some final tweaks to the lighting to make it look moodier. Basically a lot of contrast. You can compare that part of the editing!
Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original picture to see the after editing one. If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.
BOOM! That’s it.
I like it.
It’s interesting and different… yet the same.
ONTO THE VIDEO!
The video covers a lot.
It was 6 hours un-edited, but I trimmed that down to 27 minutes.
It’s a bit random.
Jumping from subject to subject.
Talking about the job, future project, a ghost, the virus, storm videos, I bought a new GoPro, blah blah.
A bunch of stuff!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below.
And that’s it.
At the end of the video, I seemed a bit worried about the virus that's spreading.
If I get it, it wouldn’t be good for me.
Like I’m dead.
The end.
Over.
I’ll let you know if that happens.
So, I don’t know what I’m going to do next.
But I’ll see you again at some point.
Stay safe.
