Perfection is the Enemy of Creation

I can't decide.  There is a photo contest for Glam Affair's Amberly skin.  Win, place or lose, photo contests can be lots of fun.  Like blog challenges, they push you to experiment a bit and then to focus on something in particular.  In this case it's a skin that I really love.  I've taken several photos of it.  Though I can submit two photos, I'm not sure which two I like.  Is a SLink hand in the first picture a no no?  Is there enough face in the second one?  Is the third photo a little flat because the shadows are so soft?

More often than I like to admit, my favorite photos happen by surprise. I take lots of pictures from different angles and in different windlight settings.  Some things work, some don't.  I'm not to the point where I can follow a set of procedures and turn out consistent work.  However, I think my skills have improved with experimentation.  I'm not perfect and neither are my photos, but a wise woman once paraphrased Voltaire when she said, "Perfection is the enemy of creation."  Who?  I forget.  I already said I wasn't perfect.

A Rare Sighting

A rare mermaid sighting on our home sim, that is.  To be completely honest, nearly naked Dolly, Ayla and April sightings are rather common.  I loved the little shell bra from PiDiddle for this month's Zodiac event, Aquarius.  Now I want a strategically placed shell to match below so I can get out of the water.

52 Weeks of Colour - Unmellow Yellow by Ayla

It doesn't seem so long ago since we did a yellow and I recall having very little of the colour in my inventory.  Any excuse to shop, I say. I went over to coldLogic and picked up this cute dress.  It may not be as bright as the swatch, but it's something I will definitely be wearing a lot over the summer months.  Why don't I have more yellow in my closet?  It's one of my favourite colours too!

Seasons Gatcha

I had such fun buying Gatcha items today at Seasons Gatcha located on the My Pants sim. Showing off a few of my fun items here, I got several colors of the Deco mesh scarf (and I want all of them!), the cutest necklace from Concrete Flowers, a HUGE ruby ring for showing off from Pididdle, and pink nails from Tiny Bird.  And see those piercing blue eyes and ruddy cheeks? They're from Insufferable Dastard.


 The sweater is from Celoe which I layered over a dress from Ingenue which just happens to match perfectly to the Gatcha shoes I was lucky enough to get from Ingenue. Hair is of course from Truth.

Poses? Gatcha prizes from Olive Juice.
