Hey Athena, long time no speak....

Like the pic. Interesting concept, and I like how you've kept all the clutter off the walls to your side and behind you. I keep thinking I should add to one of these "self-pic" threads, but I sold my last tripod.......
[that's my excuse 'n' I'm stickin' to it!]

Truth is darling that I have not hung anything on the walls here. See how committed I am to staying here?

Ok, so, you got me...how could I resist your latest sig. line? Had to take a peek...and I'm so glad that I did because I have to say, that is a great picture all the way from concept, your thought processes, how you added the mirror and clouds, and then finished off using layers and masks.

Well done Athena, and thanks yet again, for being a source of inspiration to get my bum-tiddly-bum out of my chair and into "creative mode".

Only 3 months 7 days until I'm through with this contract and will have at least 3 hours extra per day to play with....roll on July 27th!!!

Thanks! I am glad you like it. I like it myself.

When your contract ends, are you off to a different location? I'm SEA at the moment, and could stay where I am another year, stay SEA but different country another year or perhaps head to 1 of 2 other, different continents. I'm an obsessive planner, so I hate not knowing what to plan for. Heck, I can't even plan a language or climate from where I sit. grrr.

Matt, if you're talking about my photo, this is an amazing lens! I love it!
That's been cropped as well. The original is unbelievably sharp.

Yes I was.

Hey Athena, what's "SEA" stand for? (Sorry, but I'm not a stalker, so I haven't gone through all your posts, threads or your Flickr account with a fine-toothed comb, otherwise maybe I'd already know...?)
Well, my contract is in a town in southern Japan, but my home is in the main city of the prefecture (3hrs commute per day!) so I'm expanding my little private English school there, hopefully to the point where my income will exceed what I earn now, while saving 3hrs per day (that'll be used for photography, painting, writing and fitness, I think) plus adding a whole extra free day per week into my schedule. Can't wait.

What about you? As I said, I don't know which continent you're on now, though I seem to recall something about you being a lady with multicultural-ancestors, so perhaps "home", like me, can be wherever you are....

Oh and as to planning, had to laugh at that! I used to be an obsessive planner, but I realised about 8 years ago that life contains so many variables, to always want to plan tends to lead to disappointment. These days, I tend to plan, while simultaneously trusting my instincts!

Catch you later....

and another.

and another

Ooerrr! Like that.

Very "it's the 1950s and I'm my own person and nobody can tell me different" feel to it.

Like that a lot!
