let's just all have a beer (or two... or three) and be at peace.
:cheers:
you're both too lovely.


btw: how d'you make these multi-exposure self-portraits? I'm working on one right now and it sucks... i can only get semi-transparent/ghostly me's...
any advice guys?

 

[Alexandra]

sooo, okay. here's my lame first attempt at multi-exposures. i know this one sucks, but i seriously don't know to do it... i just select myself and copy to another pic... lame i know.

 

[Verbal]

That's how I did it =)

 

[Alexandra]

but how do you make'em merge perfectly?
I mean, the "rubik's cube" me is all blown out... no feather edges maybe?
the coffee-spilling me is really dark...
the reading one is the only one that really looks like me

well, i'll be tryin more tomorrow
