'edit, crop, adjust'..... you said it, but it about sums up my picture motto. LOL
Obviously, I'm a bit of a voyeur too as I sat and watched both clips.
Beautiful! Okay, yes, you were shy and insecure and talked about that. A true woman IS vulnerable though but isn't that also part of our charm!? Don't alot of men love that women have a bit of a shyness about them in some situations, maybe then they get to play out the archetypal gallant knight scenario and protect them. But when it really counts, Dawn, I'm sure you are a tigress. ;)
Happy video blogging!
As an ex-radio dj, when I first got into it, I had difficulty "finding my voice"..in other words, difficulty in letting my true personality flow...I discovered that I was just BETTER and less contrived when I SHARED conversation and could look into the eyes of someone in an impromptu discussion...It's not easy to come across like you're talking to someone...when no one's actually there...I preferred the feedback from another person as I was talking...
Having said that...Why dontya try grabbing a close friend that you're comfortable with, interview you?...justa thought..
As it is, you come across, probably just the way your cyber-image is portrayed...Saw nothing phony about you...ain't nothin' wrong with that..
hey sis not bad for first blog better then i would have done am proud of you trying

Mary,
LOL.. the only editing I have ever really done to any pics of mine is to crop them and adjust the lighting. I do not know how to do anything else. (I am still waiting to learn how to edit off about 20 extra pounds!) And I am still waiting for my knight! About the tigress thing, one can only hope...(insert wicked grin here) Hugs, Dawn
Stevo,
I actually had considered that, and then when it came down to time to do it, i asked Toni to leave the room. I blog alone, with only the thoughts in my head, that is how I have to video blog too. Thing is, I need to feel alone, even though eventually i a inviting you all to be with me. Does that make any sense at all? If someone was with me, i might edit myself, something I do not want to do. I am not "playing for the masses" I am who I am, so I am okay with that. People can take me or leave me as they choose. I actually broke down and watched the videos tonight. I seem to look very uncomfortable with my body language, (I would think so if I didn't know me), but really, if you watch I was folding my legs up under and around myself, gesturing with my hands, touching my face and neck. I know to most people that looks very "awkward", like I was uncomfortable. I thought so too, until a good friend of mine watched it and told me that that is how I always behave when I get comfortable and start divulging secrets. LMAO.. who would have guessed it? (Apparently I do that "dance" on her couch regularly.) Hugs, Dawn
Lyle,
Thanks Bunches... so when are you going to break down and join us in the blogoshere? I know you are already addicted to my blog.. lol...maybe you should try one of your own! Hugs, Dawn
"...not playing for the masses..."
Perfect answer...you may be more secure than you think...
Maybe 'grumpy one' needs an outlet, so yes, come to Blogland. Let Dawn and Dreamer wifey show you around. We're all pretty cool here.
Dawn,
In my open house party blog from Saturday the one picture of my two girlfriends, I changed the color of their shirts... they were originally bright red, and I put a haze around the picture. You can do that in Picasa. Also, in Photoshop you can 'pucker' an area, like lips can be fuller or you can make a frown a smile, stuff like that. It's fun. I don't do it on all my photos... way toooo time consuming... but I do like to highlight the color, crop stuff, etc.
Like in that Christmas photo, it is my tree and my living room but there was a card on that red tray that sorta was in the way, so I removed it and then added in stuff to the missing area.
I'll give you a before and after picture on my blog to show you what I mean.

Stevo,
Thanks, I still know without a doubt that public speaking will never be something I enjoy, but it helped me to get through that to know that I was speaking to friends. Yes, there are plenty of stangers who will stumble across my blog and stop and watch, but as I filmed it, I imagined sitting and talking to one particular person. The one person in this world that I am most comfortable with. The person I can ALWAYS be myself with. That helped me, and may be the reason that I am not totally against doing it again. We will see. Hugs, Dawn
Mary,
I joke about wanting to edit myself in such a manner, but it is useful knowledge to have, so thank you! Like I stated though, the only thing I have ever done to my pics is crop them. (or adjust the lighting when the picture was too dark to see.) Usually cropping out my body, which I am still not comfortable with. I have stopped doing even that. I have come to the conclusion that I like me, despite my many flaws, and I can be unhappy with certain aspects of me, but do so in a manner which is loving to myself. I do not hate myself anymore for the extra pounds I still have to lose. I do not hate myself for the stretch marks, and the breasts that only ever really look good when supported by industrial strength elastic and wire. (Or perhaps some duct tape) I got those things doing something I would never change if given the chance. Having my children. Yes, it makes me not want to ever show my body to anyone naked, but that too I will overcome. I am a work in progress. And I can be proud of that... so while the knowledge is a fun thing, and a tool I might experiment with in the future, know that no picture of me on this site or any other will ever be altered in such a way by me. Ya know, I have been wanting to talk about this for some time. I thinkI just wrote tonights blog! Hugs, Dawn
Lyle, Racing there right now to check it out, thanks! Hugs, Dawn
