Growing your hair out? Looks nice. . .

CarrieMpls said:

I have a Logitech camera also although mine is much older than yours. Logitech cams don't seem to be the best in terms of light - either the pic looks much too dark, or much too light and washed out. I've fiddled with all the levels, tried using a lamp on my desk as Mick suggested, etc . The best thing I've come up with was to put a desk lamp right near the computer monitor but aim it away from me and towards the wall behind the comp. The reflected light from the wall (my walls are light beige) was softer than direct light and worked better with the cam.

At any rate, you're very pretty Carrie.

CarrieMpls said:

Do you have another mic, maybe on a headset or a standalone?

Ya'll are too kind.

I wasn't consciously growing my hair out, but it's gotten long for me. I'm actually getting it done on Thursday and I'm thinking of taking a good inch off or so. And I'm thinking of keeping the toned down red for a while...

As for the cam, I think playing with the light will help most. We'll see.

No other mic, I'm afraid. But I'll get it to work, I'm sure.

CarrieMpls said:

I know this is going to sound daft but have you tried talking to someone through it yet? and if so what are they hearing/

I tried recording a video but it didn't pick up any sound. I'm done playing for the day, but I'll try again tomorrow.

What's wrong with log cabins?

GangstaFam said:

Nothing, except I'm not really the type to live in one. But the woodwork is actually quite nice and it smells really good. It's just one feature of the apt I'd change if I could. But I can't, so I live with it.

oh




my







god.





You did NOT just do that!!!

CarrieMpls said:

Too rustic?

A log cabin would be my dream home. I almost bought one last year.

GangstaFam said:

I'm a city girl! And I decorate in all pink, black and lime green. So it doesn't quite go.

My next apartment will be gorgeous. I do love where I live, I love my porch, I love my neighbors, I love my backyard and I love how little I pay for everything I 'have'. But it's not quite me. The next place will be, though.

Imago, your skills at photo editing rival those of a young Stalin.

CarrieMpls said:

When and where would you move?

GangstaFam said:

Considering I'm getting braces in a few weeks and will be starting school in the fall, it will likely be a while. I'm gonna be broke for a long time now, I think.

But when I do it will likely be in Uptown still, or possibly back downtown again.

CarrieMpls said:

Seems as though you owe someone an update!

GangstaFam said:

oh yeah? And when's the last time that someone gave me an update?



j/k orgnote...

CarrieMpls said:

umm...the New Year?

Carrie! You are so freaking adorable!

The color is usually bad with these...I just took these pics...they were taken with natural light (which helps) and I brought them into photoshop, but the color is still wacky. My pics always turn out a bit green and I look like an alien. I think it's just the way it is, unfortunately.

Thanks, apples.


You look gorgeous as ususal.

you both are so darn cute


carrie, i love the hair

CarrieMpls said:

Aww...thanks

I hope you feel better soon!

I tried to fix the first pic for you...I can't believe it came out all psychadelic!

applekisses said:

Ir's better, though.

oldpurple said:

I haven't touched it yet. I've been sick all day. Maybe tomorrow.

CarrieMpls said:

I tried...maybe it's just your awesome aura coming through!
