Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down

Rest in Peace Kris Kristofferson.

I knew the look I wanted for this photo, so I just pulled out something I'd already put together instead of starting from scratch. Since everything - including my head and body - is at least is at least 4 years old and unavailable, I'm not going to go into detail about any of it.

Meat Lover's Antlers

Meat Lover's Antlers (1 of 2)

I've been slowly going my inventory, organizing and getting rid of things I'll never wear or use. Today the dusty corners of my virtual attic yielded the weirdest find yet: "SpellWorks Meat Lovers Bacon Antlers Ultra Rare." The photos I took for the box are simply too amusing to not share. If these seem like something you need, they can be found on the "RARES" shelf at ♥ Tea Biscuit ♥.

Radiant Gamechanger (Mini Blog)

Radiant Gamechanger

Today I learned about rotating my avatar horizontally to take advantage of the width of my monitor to get better photos. It's such a simple trick, but it makes a huge difference.

UPDATE: In the discussion where I learned this trick, someone has asked, "Why not just change your camera settings to swap width and height?" Something I'm embarrassed to admit has never occurred to me. A few test shots don't show a change in pixels per inch, so I'm not sure there IS an advantage to rotating one's avatar for photos...
