Self-I-Portrait (only default settings) 000 and Fairytales Text Watermark No Shadow Text

Without the Shadow Text to define the White Letters the image almost loses the initial part of the title, “Self-I-Portrait,” yet, “(only default settings) 000 and Fairytales,” remains easily legible in white without specific shadow created to bring about definition. The loss of, “Self-I-Portrait,” from the image with that text being consumed by light added to the original photographs allows for ideas of the loss of ego into another identity, at least whilst the light effect takes ahold in this representation of the portraits. Something lost is often something gained and always something changed which is almost all that we can hope for.

Yesterday whilst helping transfer Apps and Settings from phone to phone I heard a quiet Fairytale song. Whilst providing New Apps from Old Apps I was struck with an Aladdin themed potential. I took a couple of self portraits with the front facing camera. There was a quick edit made in Google Photos and then I sent these images from the phone via email to myself. From the new images freshly created I attempted to introduce an old style and visual content to bring about a classic look with some Fairytale potential. The old me is busy transforming into the new me and I am taking time to bring about positive transformations as magical as Fairy and listening to the Seasonal Elemental Songs* to make some moments well worthy for a Tale. Winter is releasing the cold grip on me that takes away the memory of the warm days and annihilates the possibilities of comfortable nights. There is a reflection now for me to look on as I reset my Apps and continue to update my Settings and so right now for me again it is principal Pantomime best foot forward with some, “Once Upon A Time,” towards plenty of, “Happily Ever After.”

*Seasonal Elemental Songs are available for all from Spring Cleaning, Midsummer Dreaming** to Harvest Home and Winter Stocking including recognition of the Sun Festivals at the quarters of the year and any celebrations and observances you enjoy in the rhythm of the annual cycle that also includes an introduction of an extra hour here and a reduction of a surplus hour there to save the daylight.

**Midsummer Dreaming is stated here as some prefer not to over encourage Midsummer Madness as mania is strictly reserved throughout the rigours of polite society.
