I don't just spend my time photographing progamers. I need to practice using other things as well. Especially when I'm too sick to go to events. Reactions like yours aren't exactly helpful.

Sorry didn't mean to insult or anything. Was just surprised to see photos of barbies/dolls :D

Those dolls are creeeeeeeepy haha

The first few pictures of the cake/pie things is color explosion. It'd be nice to have a simple background and a close-up of those. Either that or maybe everything else blurred a lot more?

Nice photos. The tarts are indeed cute n___n

And the sweets in the first pics look good too!

Man, I was hoping this would be some really delicious-looking chocolate cake with mango/raspberry sauce on a bed of almonds, in a setup that looked to good to even disturb, let alone eat.

Edit: Blah, what a place to get my 500th :>

Yo Never, I honestly cannot understand the reactions you get from having other alternate interests. Like people giving you shit in the other thread for liking girly stuff (you are a girl, what is the problem? I dont get it). Seems to be a lot of painful ignorance going around. What are you supposed to like then? What kind of hobbies are you supposed to have? That aside, I guess it's just how guys handle girls on the internet. They're either overly endearing or caustically negative.

P.S. I'd still eat those plastic things.

Comeh

Probably one of the most true statements I have ever read on the internet.
Nice photos...(obviously the dolls are kind of creepy, but you do a good job minimizing that). I like the cute poses you put on them

. Also, the food looks deliciously plasticy. I'm hungry now :[.
Anywho, good photos...I hope you feel better soon! It must really suck not being able to truly do what you are passionate about.

Get well soon!!

Thanks

I'm getting better, but I'm still dealing with my usual nausea issues. I've always wanted a Blythe, but never really had decent access to shopping for the ones I liked. I prefer Pullips, but some of the Blythe clothing is so cute.

~_~ I was kind of going for a color explosion. I tried photographing them on plainer note-paper and the photos just looked like 'pie plonked on paper.' I really needed some more textured items to put in the background like I did using the sprinkles in my sewing photos, but I didn't have any to hand sadly. I love making these little 'sets'

I'm fine with it usually, but most of the people on TL know that I'm too sick to go out and do my normal work for the site. I couldn't even get out of bed for Christmas Day or New Years Day and I nearly collapsed going to the immigration office due to a migraine (and the snow, but that's just me being clumsy!) I'm trying to contribute in my own way and it is saddening when people react negatively to it. I'm happy to receive comments, but after that troll trying to psychoanalyse me last time I posted I'm far less motivated to go back to PL. (Plus in this weather it's impossible due to the snow/danger to my camera.) I'll be going back for OSL finals and we will see after that.

Mentioning that the dolls are creepy is a negative comment? Of course we all have our different perspectives and believe us it wasnt to troll or upset anyone.

edit: No, not trying to start a flame war here. :/

Yes it is a negative comment - I've heard people call them that before so many times that it's boring and annoying to me. I don't need to hear people stating the same old, dull opinion of them. I'd rather hear something more positive and cheerful than an insult to one of my possessions. It's the same as someone posting a computer they'd built themselves and me saying 'it looks cheap and tacky.' I wouldn't do that so I'd like people to respect that I requested people didn't go on about their 'creepiness.' Unfortunately some people apparently can't take a hint or read notes.

On a side note the doughnuts I whippled are now dry

I'll post some photos tonight if I feel well enough to take any. I also bought the cupcake set last night, but only really purchased it for the mini cupcake pendants/keychains because the big cupcakes are kind of fugly ;_;

I bought this set;

Big cupcakes are so UGLY. I wish they'd made them in the same way as the mini ones.

I want these two sets:

I'm sad they don't have any more or the pink whipple cream, but also grateful I could find them at all. I'm going to buy some extra funnels of whipple cream (why does that sound so dirty?) and use them in the future for other projects.

Those treats look so tasty! The dolls are really cute and I like your shots. Never knew that effect is called bokeh. I recently got into photography and I'm still an amateur and I just love looking at your works and other TL members' works to learn more about photography. Keep up the good works NeverGG and get well soon!
