Call- Ch.3For sure, there were people in the world who had it much worse than me. They were everywhere, and you never had to look too hard to find one of them.
Just watch the news.
Every single day, the news is rambling on and on and on about murders, and injuries, and starving people.
On the news, you never hear anyone talk about a man who gets a mysterious phone call every day of his life. They don't talk about people whose in-laws are assholes.
It's because these things are irrelevant to anyone but the person experiencing them.
In the grand scheme of things, they are irrelevant, period.
But I was an idiot.
I let too many things eat at me t

Call- Prologue + Ch. 1Prologue:
On the off chance that someone tries to read this, I will warn you:
Don't.
Nothing I could say could possibly be construed as interesting, or informative.
Maybe you're just bored, you say? Well, I can assure you, burning this book would be a lot more entertaining than reading it.
And that, my friend, is the honest to goodness truth.
You may think that I'm overreacting, well… that, I can't say. But all the same, I urge you not to read any further.
Go outside. Do something constructive with your life. And as you stroll through the park, or shopping center of your choice, be sure to chuck this book in a bin.
One last thing

I know this looks like garbage. :/
I'm trying to perfect my technique... And also get a decent picture of what I'm envisioning in my brain...
I worked really hard on this picture. I made the envelopes and parcel myself, and I personally wrapped the candles in this cute and funky ribbon I found.
I actually had to set up a translucent curtain, which I put the lights behind hoping for bokeh, even though I got none.
Anyway, I even used a tripod and everything. But somehow, I still feel like this looks terrible, so...
Your opinion is welcome, though. <3

This image captures both the feeling of summer,and valentines day. It is well set up, and gives the thought of a peaceful, and more quite time. The colors and shading are fantastic! Nothing more is needed, or has to be added to this; anything else would just ruin it. lighting in here is what brings out the whole entire mood of this. And the objects in here are beautiful, and are placed well around the others. Nothing here seems out of place, or miss matched.

This shows much talent in photography, and the artist should do more images like this

The title and picture somehow gave the the idea of mailboxes having a cute little tea party, which is kind of an interesting conceptual bit that lends the piece depth when you analyze it. If you just look at it surface-level though, it also just has a still a nice/calming/romantic/frilly/soothing impressionism about it.

This is actually pretty amazing!

I really like the set-up and how you've framed it, although I feel that it's a small shame a bit of the right side is chopped off and I feel as if this is slightly tipped to the side as well, angle wise.

Other than that, it's brilliant. I like the tone and how that works with the colours and the lights to convey a sense of warmth and belonging.. and being comfortable as well. It's a good atmosphere and one that is relatively light-hearted.

It's interesting how you've focused the camera here... most of it is in focus, but the light near the centre, for example, is a bit blurred which is quite interesting.

Not bad, either way.

Thank you~ I'm disappointed that it's a bit cut off, as well. My camera couldn't capture it all without showing things that weren't on the set. But at least I got most of it.

Thank you for the compliment~!

Ah, that's understandable.
