A Daily Deviation! I am so overjoyed right now!! <3To keep up with my 365 project, which this image is from, please follow me here: Facebook
βMany things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them.β - C.S. Lewis
[This was inspired by quite a few things, one of which is my inability to get proper sleep lately. Expect to see more of me sleeping in odd locations for photos...]

Hey, what photo editor did you use? What effects on that editor? What camera? Questions~ ;3

You can actually ask me your questions on my formspring too! I'm trying to direct people there with questions so that others can read my answers. 
To answer you here, I use Photoshop CS5. In terms of effects, I literally edit every single photo differently--sometimes I use curves to edit the lighting, sometimes I use actions that I've created to streamline the process. I do a lot of hand-painting on my images to create effects as well. It really varies from image to image!
My camera is a humble little Nikon D40 that is actually getting close to dying. I'm saving up for an upgrade right now!

Hurr durr, I'm sure all that overgrowth on them doesn't at all indicate that they're unused~

Hi, I have not forgotten, and I am in the middle of closing on my house, packing and generally going nuts... I close on July 16. Then I get the painter in to make my house more colorful and magical - then the art-work which excites me to no end. When I get to that point, I will send you a note.... and we can go from there.

Sounds like a plan! Thank you so much for taking such an interest in it! I also have a *lot* of options with the printing company I use--they're great. Good luck with your house, and I look forward to hearing more from you!

I love the dream quality of this. It makes me want to sleep and at the same time create a piece of jewelry inspired by this.

Oh my! Please do create jewelry inspired by it! And then share with me, yeah? I would absolutely *love* to see what you create!

I LOVE the color on this piece! Not to mention you're brave enough to take photographs on a track! The ones near where I live are fully operational still! I love it :3

Thank you very much! I wanted to give it a dreamlike quality. And those tracks are very much unused, so I was mostly just being weird, lying around in rubble and vegetation.

You're not weird

Wow, did you get an electric train after all? And that's *awesome* about the woods--I highly approve! I'm in the woods nearly every day. And yes, tracks are beautiful abandoned monuments, aren't they? I love how these ones had all the vegetation thriving on them. And technically I should be sleeping right now... >.>

A shinkansen?! I've been to Japan once and ridden on one--I can imagine that a toy one would be awesome! And no, you're not sad! You sound incredibly unique and right up my alley.

Sadly, I've only been to Canada

It goes so fast! And that sounds fun about the train coming out on Xmas eve and day!
Geez, that's awful about the brambles! My scratches are still healing. I swear, I saw some of the tendrils moving *at* me as I was walking through, and I wasn't even touching anything! Maybe the forest hates me... >.>
Fairy roses?

Took me a moment 'cause I thought to take pictures of ours... but my pictures came out awful! Oh well, these are better! [link]
That is a fairy rose
We had five, and they bloom ALL THE TIME. It's wonderful to wake up and see more blooming! Mom pulled all five out, and some how, we have one little lone plant on the walkway. Dad's threatened to cut it down because it snags his pants and Mom and I just laugh and quote Labyrinth: What'd you expect fairies to do? Grant Wishes? Pah!
We're keepin' it as long as it wants to stay with us
It might just be the blackberries and brambles! I hate brambles! I hate thorns :/ But I adore some really thorny roses and trees! Go figure!

Okay, I like you even more now because you quote Labyrinth! MY FAVORITE movie of all time! And that is quite a beautiful plant!

Fairies are lovely roses and so bushy and full. I love 'em lots, but they are... bite-y

Ah yes, Dark Crystal is SO amazing. Actually, in my "emergence" shot, I'm wearing a dark crystal necklace!
They sound so cute though!

but this is THE one, period, I love love love it! I so want a print in my new house.... π: 0 β©: 1
I can get you a print for sure! Would you prefer me to make you a custom listing on my Etsy? Or is it easier for you to just have it available here? Just let me know, and feel free to send me a note so we can get it sorted out. I'd be honored to know that a piece of my work is hanging in your home!
