I Heart Faces--Phone Photo Challenge

When I saw this week's phone photo challenge from I Heart Faces I just had to join in!  This challenge is only photos taken with cell phones!
I rarely use the camera on my cell phone because it is such low mega pixels.  I also find the camera quite limiting and hard to work with.  I don't own a iPhone so I don't have any apps to make my photos fancy either.  I do, however, on occasion, take photos of my girls so I have a quick and easy photo on my phone to show off to friends and family.

I snapped this picture of Nutty last fall and it turned out to be one of my favorite photos on my phone.  A few days after I took this photo, I brought Nutty back to the park to try to duplicate it with my regular camera.  I just couldn't get the same look on her face and her hair flying like that again...

*I see a lot of people used apps on their phones to "edit" their photos.  A few people who don't have apps on their cameras edited the photos on their computers.  I opted to leave mine SOOCC (Straight Out Of Cell Camera) because I thought it fit the challenge better.

Fix It Friday--I Heart Faces

I'm bored off my gourd being sick.  My head pounds and body aches every time I stand up, and I have no energy to do anything but sit on the couch.  I am so over this cold/flu/whatever it is!

I figure since I feel ok semi-laying on the couch with the computer in my lap, it's the perfect chance to participate in a Fix It Friday by I Heart Faces!  I think it's my first time ever participating in a Fix It Friday so be gentle on me!

My edit:

I used Gimp to rotate and crop the photo then I ran a slightly modified Lomo Script on it.

Do you have a specific photo editing style? What is a MUST for you to do to your photos? What is your favorite style of editing?
I don't know if I really have a style yet. There's still so much for me to learn. Most of my photos I simply do a simple white balance correction and an s-curve adjustment and that's it.
I do however, love technical editing. I love cloning objects out of photos, combining two different photos to make one, and stuff like this!

I Heart Faces--Tooshies

So I decided to enter my first I ♥ Faces photo contest on this blog.  This week it's a little bit different.  Instead of faces, it's tooshies!  Wow did I have a lot of tooshie pictures that I like.  It was so hard for me to decide!  I think I finally settled on this one:

I know that Tottie's tooshie is not the main focus, but I have always been drawn to how cute her tooshie looks in this picture!  Her little diapered butt sticks out just right :)
