why?

why is it that when you're not planning, not trying, not desperately wanting something, it happens? and then when you so badly want, plan for, and try, it doesn't happen?

Everything happens in due time. This just means you are meant to spend time and focus on other things right now. It will happen for you I have no doubt in that!

It's murphy. Let's go and kick some murphy ass.

by the way, i put up two pictures for you to review

Capture the facial shoadow only with a 100 feather, pull up the curves, then adjust levels to create contrast. Release area, desaturate entire image, and from the centre of the graph pull curves WAY up. Apply a diffuse glow with the numbers set (in order top to bottom) 0, 2, 18. Pull the curves back down from the centre of the graph until you can see definition of the features again. You may have to tinker with the curves-glow a bit to get it to work. Add uniform noise at about 7%. Voila. And I think cropping in to get rid of the shining white abyss on the right side is a good idea. Give the image more impact and intimacy.

oh, shoot - last step is to go into your colour balance and pull up your red and yellow ba;ance to create a sepia tone

It will happen when it is meant to. It always seems to be that way when you really want something. It is just like when you are trying desperately to find something and you only stumble across it when you are not looking. I am thinking about you! xo
