Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 18-55mm Nikkor + IR remote. Exp +3.0. Window lighting from the side against an angled white wall. GIMP for post editing. Darkened highlights to get rid of the blotches of white over exposure and lightened midtones. Minor color balancing with curves. Not much else.
Additional Comments
Slowly chugging through Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I'm not fond of the literary style but I find the Sutherlands interesting. I find it rather illogical to believe that machines, as the children of human intellect, could possibly dehumanize us. Rather, machines may help us define and realize our very humanity

ah i'm sorry i didn't mean to offend. D: i didn't mean it meanly just a way of saying your skinny. and also, I know what you mean sort of. but hieght wise. because i'm really short. so i really do appologise because i know how antagonising it feels to be bothered about something that's just a part of you. if you're just that skinny naturally than you don't need a burger! haha but that picture inspired me to do one but for short people, if that's ok?

yeah.... five foot here.... not so average and people make sure you know you're not normal don't they? i never really thought of it involving being skinny but i guess that can offend to! there's so many different things i mean there is no "normal" is there?
anyway yeah... i have a short torso and legs. also... i wanted to do where i'm looking up at my height and its marked on a door you know? but i'm not sure how i want to go about taking it.

I like the simplicity of this photo. No need to accentuate colors, just the model and the music. Very pleasing to the eyes.

I know I haven't said anything in the longest time, but... this is beautiful. The tilt of the model's head and her pose are perfect.
I agree with your view on the issue of technology completely; it just adds a new wrinkle to the social fabric.

I saw the title of this and thought, "Daft Punk." Does this make me wrong?
At any rate... I love this photo. It's very simple, but very clean and beautiful

The problem's plain to see: too much technology. Machines to save our lives, machines dehumanize.

I actually completely disagree. The point is to efficiently command technology just like any other mundane tool. I find it rather illogical to believe that machines, as the children of human intellect, could possibly dehumanize us. Rather, machines may help us define and realize our very humanity

But people still completely depend on machines and forget about their own abilities...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Then they do not fully command the machine they use

I disagree. Machines enhance our abilities. Would you really want to live 100 years ago?

That wasn't the point...
