I was so darned excited to start my blog. I was ready. Well not exactly ready. I hadn't picked a name yet. I had a long list of options I’d brainstormed. And I still hadn't picked a blog platform either.
But I had my new laptop and a bundle full of creative energy, isn’t that enough? Alas, creative energy deflated after I decided I wanted some good pics of myself to show who the wizard is behind the curtain.
Experimentally I got my camera and started doing some self-portraitures, only to discover three things:
1) I’m a stinky photographer
2) I’m an awkward model
3) And my face is getting older.
I think I can become a better photographer. In fact, that’s one of the projects I’d like to work on in this blog. But I’m not so sure about becoming a better model - apparently there‘s more involved than just standing there and saying cheese. And the face? Well, I have decided I must now wear makeup on a daily basis. I'll start doing that tomorrow, or maybe the day after...
p.s. Why does everyone look so pretty in blogs? Are these strange creatures pretty all the time? I love blogs, which is why I want to start my own, but I find my real self, with my real face, with my real expressions, wondering if she will fit into this sparkly world.
3) is false!!! you're my age but you do look soooooo young!
