new design!


That's right! Introvert's Introduction got a facelift. In honor of my blog's six month birthday, I thought I would give it a much needed update. I may tweak this design a bit in the future, but for now I'm happy with it. There's a new contact page, prettier navigation, and a spotlight for any current giveaways I have going on.



This is what the blog looked like before. I loved this design, but began to feel like it was a little too depressing for me. So I went the exact opposite route of black and white.

Here's an image of my first sketch of the new design.



As you can see the final product is slightly different from the sketch, but I wanted to keep things nice and neat and not over-complicated (of course, the actual coding was a bit more time consuming than I had anticipated, but I fixed all the problems).

I hope you guys like the new design! Let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions or comments. I would love to hear them.

Have a great day!


If the blog looks a little weird, never fear. I'm about to begin the redesign process. I was going to wait until midnight so that I could hopefully do it when everyone was asleep (like people go to bed at midnight anyways ...) but I just couldn't wait.

grow till tall




day 181

black and white version:







The two year anniversary of me joining flickr and tumblr quietly occurred last week without even my remembering. The power of the internet is astounding; my life has changed forever because of those two websites. They opened my eyes to the world of photography and art in ways which I never knew existed, and even though I'm not as social on flickr as I used to be or should be, it and tumblr will always hold a special place in my heart.

p.s. in other news, I finally figured out the coding of how to be rid of the annoying border around all my photos. Success!

I spent a while blowing bubbles in front of the camera, and I just kept thinking, "Man, I should be doing something like this the first few days of the 365, not nearly 200 days in ..." But I am quite pleased with the results of my excursions. I think I'm a bit more daring when it comes to editing photos that don't include humans. So these photos are definitely experiments and maybe in the upcoming days I'll get even more creative with human subjects.
