Yep, I read it too. I guess you gotta be fast if you want a glimpse of Crystal's Freudian slips.

Sorry, folks, but

no. you'd be a weirdo if you were the one who started this whole conversation which just left you feeling like a missunderstood hornball. lol ;P

Wait...I'm the one who started this...I'm a weirdo? Nobody's ever called me that before. Been called other things, though!

Now that I'm "officially" done ...

I learned a great deal from this challenge:

Beforehand I 100% despised being in front of the camera - 100%. Now, not so. I've come to think it has to do with how I view the world and how I think the world views me - not being in a photo allows me to impose my reality of who I am and how I perceive I look to the world. In getting over this (because I really do think I'm uberdoofy looking) I can see how the world really does see me - even if I do have a target on my face or a flamingo hat on my head.

Photographically I learned cool PP techniques that I've wanted to try: many-me shots, selective color changing, boxer-man photo(something I've wanted to do for a while), etc.

I find I need better lighting control, a number of my photos suffer from poor lighting and I tried to make up for it in PP.

I also think 100% of the credit for my photos should go to cindi - until I got the plague I literally stole her ideas each day which made my job a jillion times easier.

And thanks to everyone who participated; all your comments and insight, and your photos, were excellent learning materials for me. Thank you.
