Description For my art final. (I scraped up an A, huzzah! ^_^ ) The theme had to be "stress".

Self portrait. I promise I'm not that ugly in real life. ^_^; I'm also older than I look. Anyway, doing self-photography officially makes me an artistic masochist. The process was basically: adjust settings, place camera on window sill (no room for my tripod), auto-focus, hope it's aimed properly, hit self-timer, pose, take camera down to look at picture, figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, fiddle with settings, repeat. For as long as it takes.

That's my real calculus homework (I'll probably get a C in the class. Normally that would be mortifying, but considering it's Calc with the infamous Lambert, I'm relieved).

Edit: I got a B in calc! Yayz! ^_^

ouch. it even has the effect of making you look confined to a dark room with just that one light source so you don't go blind before you finish the almost-endless piles of homework. very stressing indeed. especially because i have quite a load of work to do, but i'd rather be looking at art. we artists are such fools...

This is really creepy. I LOVE it! I hope Calculus doesn't really stress you that much but it loos like you succeeded in doing what you were going for. To clarify I didn't want to do a piece showing the face like you did but only the back like I did. So ours would've been different anyhow. Yay for Higher level Art!
