River and Copper Self Portraits

Last set of these photos. I'm surprised. I thought these were a failure. I do that a lot. I think I get so frustrated with my camera sometimes I'm sure that I screwed up the photos, and then it's fine. On the other hand sometimes it also takes me a long time to find the right edit for photos. I feel like I should have more control when I edit, but I don't. I feel like I can't force a photo to look the way I want it to (I could, but it takes 5 times longer in the worst possible cases), I have to go with what is these.  This turned out better than I expected and reminds me of tourquise. I learned recently that tourquise usually contains some copper that makes the stone bluer.  

Still waiting on hearing from unemployment, since 10 million people are unemployed and signing up right now, I think it'll take a while for them to get to my application. In the mean time, I'm happy to have a savings, patreon, supportive family, and will try working on other things. I'm now selling some photos for artist reference. I don't want to rework my patreon teirs because I like having it donation based, but might in order to organize these photos a bit more. I hope to have a new website up eventually that could manage that.

Now that I have the time I want to try making more resources for other models as well. I've wanted to forever, so why not now?

Somehow I've found a way to have way too much to do again. It's in my nature. I don't relax. I love relaxing after a hike, a tour, or doing something. That feeling of relaxing with reward is my favorite.  I'm excited to push myself, and there are always soooo many ways to do so!! I hope everyone else is hanging in there.  I know some of you have jobs still and some are sitting at home. If you need any ideas to entertain yourself, I can make up a million.
