"I'm in my scene girl era" - A thought I had only while wearing this outfit.

EDIT: I uploaded a second photo. Toyfriend gave me a suggestion.

Consulted the RawTherapee wiki for this one.

The other day, I thought about how streak club asks how you feel about each submission you make. I don't remember ever checking the "I'm not proud of it" button and wondered what it would take to make me click it for a submission. It was interesting to me to explore that. Due to the formatting of the prompt, where pride is contrasted with feeling neutral, I have interpreted "I'm not proud of it" to mean I actively feel shame about this submission. I looked through my photo collection for photos that made me feel ashamed. The photos I am sharing with this submission make me feel ashamed because of the process leading to me having taken and shared them, not the quality of the actual image.

Have you ever checked "I'm not proud of it" when submitting?

I was thinking about framing as I took these photos.
Haven't taken many photos of busy or deep scenes like I saw on that morning's walk.
Wanted to move around and view subjects more but physics refused.
More adventures in batch processing. Adjusted contrasturation. Didn't peek at the photos after editing // before uploading.

Nifty has been thinking a lot lately about basically everything.
It has caused Nifty to approach familiar things in new ways.
Today's new Nifty had painful hands.
This informed his decision making process with how to do his daily art practice.
He opted to forgo opening and editing each individual photo in RawTherapee like he usually does.
Instead, he wondered if there was a way to select several photos at once and apply the same tools to them with one command.
Digikam, introduced to Nifty by Toyfriend, had such a tool.
Nifty was able to easily figure out how to convert an entire batch of photos to JPEG without hurting her hands.
This is a Nifty win.

This set of photos is sort of working with a feeling I've become highly aware of lately. My chronic hand pain has made it very difficult for me to use the computer and my smartphone like I habitually have. A combination of being unable to use these things and being forced to pay attention to my body's feelings to cope with chronic pain has made me much more sensitive to unexpected sensory stimuli. Today a housemate was watching cartoons in the living room, and before I knew it, I had started paying more attention to the screen than how my body felt. It's so easy for me to become distracted.
