Changes
June 9th 2007 1 minute to read
Well… today I put my two weeks in at my current workplace. I’ve been there almost 3 years (it’s a small family owned company) and recently got a hired for the Geek Squad in Best Buy. I am beyond terrified. It’s harder the older I get, to do these dramatic life changes. So in a way, to honor this, I shot a few self portraits to try and remind myself that I am stronger than I let myself believe.

Frickin sweet! :) I just recently put in my two weeks as well. I hate making changes like that, because I was comfortable at the job, but I just couldn’t take it there anymore.
Take some pics of you doing donuts in the parking lot in that Geek Squad-mobile. :p
Congratulations Sarah :) Sometimes it’s those life changes that are the best decisions we ever make. I’m very proud of you, this is a step in the right direction to get you where you need to be :)
Congrats on the new job! Big changes are scary, but you’ll knock their Geek Squad socks off!
BTW, love the new portraits, especially the second one.
@MareKat24 thank you! Yeah you know me, the moment I wake up all I ponder about is what to make for dinner ;)
@Jason Exactly, it was getting to a point where I needed a different work situation. lol I don’t know if I will ever be able to drive that little bug.
@Crys thank you! That means SO much to me coming from you!
@Mari {{hugs}} thank you!!
@James R. Thank you so so SO much!
@Sara I have no clue if I will ever be allowed to drive the car lol but still, pretty darn cool!
Congratulations, sweetie!! I’m so glad you’re getting outta that place. Viva la Geek Squad!
great photos sarah….don’t be such a stranger.or….don’t get any stranger.
I already commented on the first one over at deviantart, but I’ll do it again. They are stunning! I love the shape of your eyes, and how they glow in the photos. <3
I know you’ll do fine. You always do!
I nearly cried when I saw this, Sarah. God, it’s been forever since you and I talked. I know, it’s my fault, but I promise you that I’m going to jump-start this friendship and get us back to the happy, peppy place we were before. We were at a happy, peppy place, weren’t we? Blah. Whatever. I just wanted to say that you’re scary beautiful. That is, you’re so beautiful that it’s hard to imagine you’re real. Doh. Mushy goodness in that last sentence. LOL! *squish* I miss you, Sarah.
@Maggie Aww thank you!! I hope I don’t screw it all up lol

Hey, Sarah, came over here after I saw your zooomr post about your blog (not really stalking you, I swear!). I love these shots! What post-processing steps do you take? I’d love to try to replicate this look in some of my shots.
@Tasha ahahha sure you’re not stalking me ;) Well, I use (depending on the shot) Adobe Lightroom or Adobe PS CS2 (I so want CS3!) I only shoot in RAW. I always adjust contrast and shadows and really from there I just play with saturation. I don’t think I have a style quite yet. Although I would have to say lots of contrast tends to be typical of me lol.
