If my obsession in analog photography is overexposure, my obsession in digital photography is the synthesis of contrast using Curves. Click to view the photos at Flickr.

I took this photograph with my PowerShot SD10 with my right hand while applying lipstick with my left. If you’re curious, I’m not exactly in the habit of applying lipstick; a muse just whispered in my ear. It’s also worth noting that the grayscale variation (number six) is just the the red channel of the one to its left (number five).
