i dont think you have... i've been looking out for you though...but i only take VIVA twice a week, and at such odd times, which sucks one day we will run into each other!

babybluespikes In reply to pixcee [2006-02-01 23:37:39 +0000 UTC]

where is seneca?

ok, i paid attention today when i took the bus home, going west to east, theres places at York, but uh, thats York, theres the coffee shop at indigo, at west beavercreek theres a second cup on the south side of hyw7, at leslie theres a Tims on the north side of hyw7 and at Montgomery (one stop east of woodbine) there is a chapters with a starbucks, as well as a home depot with a second cup

so yeah.... any of those places are good for me, and you can see them all from the purple bus, which is awesome... and theyre also all accessible on the pink line as well, minus York, but we dont want to go to York anyways, unless you want to go to York

pixcee In reply to babybluespikes [2006-02-02 02:58:55 +0000 UTC]

Seneca is on the north corner of Hwy 7 and Allstate Pkwy. I can see it out my window. And the Second Cup at Hwy 7 and Beaver Creek is RIGHT in front of my building..I could WALK there. So thats not really fair if you have to take the bus and i dont..
I just said the one at Indigo because I that bookstore... My new schedule for next week should be out this weekend so I can tell you what I have off and we can make it a date!

babybluespikes In reply to pixcee [2006-02-02 22:11:22 +0000 UTC]

it dosent really matter to me where we go i'll have to take the bus anyways, eiether from school or home, so that will be at least half a hour or whatever... i've never been to that indigo, i always go to the chapters at montgomery b/c my mom works there and i get a discount... but i never said that, b/c i'm not suposed to get a discount... yeah

just note me with what times work for you, and we'll figure it out i'm excited.. i never ever get to go somewhere and just sit and drink stuff, at my school you have to line up forever and then theres no where to sit, so you always get your coffee on the go and drink it in class. i can only recall one time, a few weeks ago, where my friend and i had to go off campus to go drink some tea sitting down.. so sad

anyways...

pixcee In reply to babybluespikes [2006-02-02 23:14:59 +0000 UTC]

is that the chapters in the plaza where pet smart and home depot are?? i've been there once... we could always meet there if you want. I dont know if they have a coffee shop or not. Boss still hasnt put out the schedule for next week yet *eyes roll* but it should be out by my saturday shift.
i never get to go for a 'coffee' *i dont really drink coffee* and sit and talk either. Hopefully we wont run out of things to say!! haha Gotta love that uncomfortable silence between new aquaintences

Gorgeous! I've been loving all of your shots lately where you've been experimenting with shadows and light and whatnot... they're very interesting! I especially think it's cool that you were able to look at some random metal wall with millions of holes and thought " Hmm wouldn't it be absolutely fabulous if I used this to...." lol I too love messing around with lighting to see what different kinds of cool effects you can achieve. Anyways I'll stop rambling now... just thought I would let you know that I think this is a really great shot!

super-glue [2005-08-22 23:56:07 +0000 UTC]

this is really neat! i love the effect the little bits of light have on this and your expression matches it very well. and oh my god. i love your eyes!

cosmic-latte [2005-08-17 14:00:01 +0000 UTC]

Have I told you how pretty you are? Your eyes are just so expressive, I'd love to be able to read them but they seem to hold these multiple meanings and depths.
Yes anyway, wonderful choice of sepia. It just fits the warm soft atmosphere so well...the angle from which the photo was taken and the way you posed are very nice. The pattern plays over your face and shoulders so beautifully, it's like you've got a piece of cloth made out of light stretched over you so it distorts and everything.
The only thing I might suggest is despeckling a little bit your shoulder area because while it's probably an effect of the light, it looks rather grainy.
Might I ask where this was taken? *is an avid fan of shadows as well*

babybluespikes In reply to cosmic-latte [2005-08-17 18:40:15 +0000 UTC]

you have no idea how much your comment made my day

i shall look into the despeckling, i never notice things like that unless theyre really extreme

this was taken at the playground behind my house, they have these metal dividers up to make wall type things, i guess so that when youre at the top like i was, you wont fall down or something. i probably looked like a really big idiot, becasue the way to get the best spots was to lie down right beside one of the dividers, which was at the top of the playground, where everyone could see me. luckuly there wernt that many people around this is kinda what it looked like, [link] i didnt take a very good picture of the divider itself

yay for avid fans of shadows!

You're very welcome for the comment
Ooh I kind of see what you mean...very innovative All the more commendable - you braved the public's eye as well as finding the right time of day to get the spots and everything. Though you mentioned there are several so that might make it easier hehe
