Description
This is how music is created.From the moment you touch the medium and channel the energy through your body, the result bursts through the medium.
With brilliant hues.
I took a picture of myself holding my violin from this angle, then did some serious gray-scale work.
The other photomanip effects are pretty obvious.I'm not really into playing the violin, but I thought that the concept would be interesting, so I decided to make a deviation out of it. xD It's going to inspire someone out there, I believe it!

"I'm not really into playing the violin..." Not how it is now, eh?

I'm actually STILL not into playing the violin. Ahahaha. Orchestra will always be one of my more relaxed classes, but I almost never play of my own volition.

Wow, really? Now, I'm really envious.

Haha, I'm not really that naturally talented. I've played piano since I was 6, started the violin in 4th grade, and took lessons for a year when I was in middle school!

You must have a practiced a lot more. Or maybe it really is in Asian blood.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's possible, but people like Kelley, Jen, Kalin, and Magnolia are pretty average players.
I like the theory that I had an advantage because of the piano better.

Oh, yeah, which is why they were all at the front or near the front of their section at some point.
Piano? How so?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd explain that by saying that no one is particularly good in Westlake except for Henry, so to say that they remained near the front is to only say that they are one of the better people in this subpar orchestra. No offense.
For example, Megan Zapfe (Caucasian) is a fantastic violinist in COYO, but she has never been part of the WHS Chamber Orchestra.

True. Yes, I've heard a lot of things about her.
You still didn't explain your piano advantage.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! Sorry, I forgot! xD
Well, since I had roughly 4 years of piano experience by the time I started the violin, I was able to skip several things regarding violin education:
-notes
-all sorts of scales
-music theory
-sheet music notation
And I had a head-start in these:
-note-to-rhythm recognition
-pattern recognition
-relative pitch
-sight-reading
-finger agility, ha
Throw in strict Asian parents. You learn faster when you're younger too, right?

Ah, now the equation makes sense.

Haha, I make sure to explain things in-depth if I want someone to understand.

I see that. I'm still envious, lol.

It's inspired me to finish an old picture I started alright!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whoo!
Good luck on trying to beat my picture's awesomeness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could beat it in a different way...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wasn't serious. I'm sure that you could do better!
I hate competing with girls anyway: I surrender! =.=;
Hm, I'll be waiting for it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh....
What?! Why do you surrender?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...what, I honestly think that you could do better!
Surrender? Like I said, I hate competing against girls! xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why?!! Are you going easy on us?!! Do you think we're weak?!! Jk....
Well, you have no problem arguing against them...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mhm, I'm okay with arguing against them, since it's a matter of beliefs and values, not skills that we need to train to become adept.
Other people have interesting mindsets, so it's always thought-provoking when arguing about that stuff.
INFJ = the counselor, the contemplator btw. xD That explains a lot!
Haha, still not over the whole forum argument? XD Sorry, sorry.

Oh, shut up!
I'm killing you anyways....*brings out the chainsaw*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
-takes away chainsaw-
Ergh...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can have that...
I have more...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, it's okay, I never really wanted it in the first place.
-hands back chainsaw-
Haha, you have more? That's just not natural.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm freaking vampire, of course it's not natural!

Then how did I get your picture on my cellphone?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What?!
You're explaining that later!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At the Guys and Dolls party, remember?
You wouldn't delete my pictures, so I took one of you. xD
"Don't worry, it'll stay on the phone."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...never mind, I didn't take any pictures. -_-;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
NOT THAT!
Are you sure you don't have one? It's a yes or no question, dang it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it would be impossible for me to have your picture on your cellphone. It doesn't take photos.
You honestly don't remember what I did at the party?
Huh.
If you do remember, I'll assure you that I was joking.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dude that is not even funny...
I was wondering when you whipped out your cellphone and did such a dreadful thing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your response was very basic.
"Dude that is not even funny...
I was wondering when you whipped out your cellphone and did such a dreadful thing!"
Obviously you didn't find it funny, and obviously you think that it's bad.
And then you assumed that I found a "dreadful thing" to be funny, which I didn't.
So I thought a simple "hm" would show that I recognized your response and prevent any further arguing about the seriousness of taking your picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, I liked the "hm" better...@.@
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course. You wouldn't take anything longer than that seriously.
