• That Soft Glamour Look Tutorial
  by Scott Ruhs

  Ever wonder how to get that soft glamour look in a portrait like in my image She’s Got It Made In The Shades...

  Ever wonder how to get that soft glamour look in a portrait like in my image She’s Got It Made In The Shades / / I use Adobe PhotoShop CS3 (PS), but earlier versions will work as well, and the techniques can be adapted to other similar photo editing software. Also note that I use a Mac so I’ll be using the OPTION key which is the ALT key on a PC and COMMAND key which is the CONTROL key on a PC. So if you’re on a PC substitute the appropriate keys. Open your image in PS. / Duplicate the layer. / Select Levels from the Image->Adjustments menu item and make any necessary level adjustments and click on ok when you are satisfied. / Select the burn tool and set it to burn shadows at an opacity of around 10% ±3%. While keeping the mouse button down burn the dark area you wish to enhance. / Now switch to the dodge tool by hitting SHIFT-O which cycles through the burn/sponge/dodge tools. / Set the dodge tool to highlights with a similar opacity to what we had with the burn tool. / Use the dodge tool to enhance the lighter areas of the image. / I suggest that you only do a little bit at a time of dodging and burning and alternate often between them. / These two tools act as a controlled contrast. / Once you are satisfied with the burning and dodging, duplicate that layer. / Temporarily turn off all layers except the one you just created. You can do this by OPTION-clicking the layer you wish to remain active. / Now here comes the fun stuff. / Open up the Channels palette which is usually right next to Layers. Assuming you are in RGB mode you will see the RGB composite channel, and the individual red, green, and blue channels. For most people the red channel is the smoothest, and lightest on skin. / COMMAND-click the icon for the red channel. You should see the “marching ants” which means that a selection has been made. / Now click on the RGB channel and switch back to Layers. / Making sure the layer we previously made active is selected, add a layer mask by clicking on the layer mask button at the bottom of the Layers palette. / It will look like part of the image is missing. OPTION-click the “eye” on the active layer to bring back the other layers. / Unlink the mask from the layer by clicking on the little chain icon and then click on the image icon in the layer to select it. / Go to Filters->Blur->Surface Blur. Adjust the setting to a fairly strong blur and click OK. / The image should now have a very smooth look to it. / Set the blend mode for that layer to Luminosity and adjust the opacity to taste. That is basically how I do this effect. Feel free to experiment and come up with your own techniques. I hope this was helpful, and not too confusing. It’s easier to do this than to explain it. lol! :)

• A life of GLAMOUR

  I sit here wondering happy only for a moment, only when my attention is diverted from my real life. My reality haunts me when outside my four walls I find that I do not fit in anywhere. These feelings cause me the same grief and angst that I experienced when I was younger. Too smart for my own good, too ambitious to mix and mingle, reared with a higher mindset which leaves me distant from the common people. When I walk into my current place in reality it is not just merely purgatory my sins have caused me to be degraded to the fourth level of hell. Windstorms swirl around me as I wonder aimlessly trying to escape. One can escape purgatory, they can serve their penance by working through all the levels, however one can never escape hell; no matter how hard they work, no matter how many good deeds they do. Have my sins caused me so much misery? So much destruction? My life began as a common story, childhood took a turn for the worse, preadolencese was filled with the same displacement I feel currently. Adolencese was a time for change experimentation, I found a place during my teenage years. I learned that the world is simply my stage and the men and women around me simply actors playing thier role, but as the star I could be whomever. And so the greed, the limelight, the desire took away my innocence I no longer wanted to feel the pain of reality and thus I entered my world. Young adulthood provided me with the opportunity of exploration into worlds that would have never been known to me with out that desire, that lust, that thirst for success, attention, and glamour. I realized that the world was my oyster and I wanted the largest pearl I could get. I delved deep into this world of lust, of sexuality, of riches, of fame, of extravagance, of glamour. I committed every cardinal sin while proclaiming that if I had to lie, kill, cheat, or steal that I would never be hungry again. My hunger however was not physical, it was not the hunger that could be satisfied by nutrition, by nourishment, or by food. I became a Jezebel, a whore, a gold digger, an ambitious woman that used everyone to get what she wanted, what she desired, what she craved for; the life that I was meant to live, a life of Glamour. The world that I created, that I strived for, came crashing down, it shattered, it was made of glass and it was I that was throwing stones. Reality shook the very essence of my core, the gravational pull of my universe reversed causing a black hole that sucked me in. I had to regroup. I had to analyse, I had to scheme, plot, and plan my next move for my time using people like pawns was over. the queen had been captured. I stated to the universe that the current situation would be only for a moment, that I’d pay my penance and do my good deed to get my way out of purgatory. That I would get my life of glamour and success the “right” way. For five years I resisted the life I so craved, that I so desired, every now and again I was able to bury that yearning deep inside me. I was able to supress it, to resist it, by pacifying myself with my good works, with my religion, with my philosophy, with enlightenment. I thanked the universe for the opportunity that was given to me to be able to do those things. I worked hard, I studied sociology and law. I threw myself into saving the world because if I could save enough people maybe, just maybe, I could save my soul. I chose to be happy in purgatory to serve my penance dutifully. However all my good works all my new found philosophies were not enough to save me from destruction, from the hell that my lust for glamour created, that my soul was destined for. So today five years later, I sit, I contemplate, I write, I wonder, and now since it didn’t matter, and it doesn’t matter how good I tried to be my lust has crept back. My desire for security, for comfort, for stability has possessed me again. I will not let all that I’ve worked for with in the last five years be ripped away so I return slowly to my old ways. I hunt for my prey, I use my wiles to capture them, and I devour them to satisfy briefly my hunger and my thirst for glamour. I have begun once again delving into temptation, only this time the hunger is greater, the desire is extreme, the yearning is unimaginable. I do not care who stands in my way, it is divide and conquer, survival of the fittest. I have been trying to love with peace beyond passion. I’ve been trying to walk this jouney of enlightenment….But my passion for glamour far exceeds my desire for peace…...

• Sincuality: Vanity' Introduction
  by Hottesome

  A Black silhouette of a man, naked and bare projects in your mind and remains there because you can’t see anything more than his silhouet…

  A Black silhouette of a man, naked and bare projects in your mind and remains there because you can’t see anything more than his silhouette, anything more than the trace of his body as it is consumed by the darkness of his surrounding. The air is vacant and all sound is at a stand still while a single tear is shedding and trickling down the face, bare skin, of this man racing from his eyes cascading down his cheek. The other side of his face begins to mimic the other and soon a storm of tears are rushing and racing past his once clean pallet. / / VANITY / “Everyday there is a new tear that trickles down an unfamiliar face, everyday of every minute of every second of every mille second. And hands that have yet to embrace the love beyond that of a family member or friend. Lips that only speak words that cut rather than restore ones self worth and thoughts that poison the innocence of its owner as well as those renting, inquiring minds. “I came here by day, but I left here in darkness / and found you on the way. Now, it is silver and silent. It is silver and cold. You in somber resplendence, I hold. Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one. Your sins into me. As a rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer and I’ll beg for forgiveness. Your sins into me, oh, my beautiful one. Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me as you’re longing to sing. So I will paint you in silver. I will wrap you in cold. I will lift up your voice as I sink,” lyrics of Afi run vapid in my soul and all this tyranny I’ve bestowed I express in raw emotion through writing and through self worth. What am I worth, without…without her? No I told myself I wouldn’t allow her to enter these fresh wounds. My wrist still soft from the dull steel box cutter I used to two nights ago to feel pain again to feel the lost. The day I lost her is the day I stopped bleeding blood and began to bleed tears, but with him it was different and admittedly to intense for me to save rather than nullify. I was fifth teen and a physical attraction isn’t enough it’s never enough. She is the only thing that is beyond the black and white I see in my vision. She is color in my gray world,’ his words raced to the tips of his mind and poured out like thoughts onto ideas’, he pauses to breath out his thought and soon continues. / “This is my Vanity the eighth sin although truth is told there are many. Sin is what you feed it and what you make it out to be like hubris. I am beauty but so are many and so I must bleed in order to remember and love never again. I take this vow to only follow my desires and until I break them meat shall never touch these lips, I will fast.” / The cusp of a Librans, is what some zodiac fiends would categorizes this young man’s demeanor under, young soul whose shoes have been worn many miles and many paths. Vaughn Paul O’Riely has a deep connection with his emotions so deep that this young writer was lost to the world for a brief period of time until fall feel over summer and days became weeks and the story of impiety breeds its course. Vaughn Paul was very angelic yet some how over the years of growing up in this valley had found an outlet so different from that of his youth. He was no longer that Lord of the Rings middle school virgin; he was a bi-sexual hardcore rocker with a dark blue 1987 Toyota Pickup. He had an empty wallet and a soul full of heartache and regret. / Vaughn lost his virginity at the bittersweet age of sixteen to a neighborhood kid he grew up with the two of them had a mostly physical relationship so he always resented relationships among men. He never loved this childhood friend who would profess his heart, his true feeling for Vaughn the day they separated and the boy’s parents moved back to Provo , Utah where Vaughn lived until he was seven years old. This boy, his first, was more than just a summer fling, he was a good friend. Vaughn never saw him again after the boy moved back to Utah but soon began to date and eventually fall for the boy’s cousin Jamie. The three of them use to be the closest of friends having all moved with their parents and siblings, their dads all being in the same profession got simultaneous job offers in a steady fast growing community in Impiety Valley, CA. It was fate Vaughn, Jamie & Jessie, both about 5’8 with dirty blond hair and blue eyes that often complemented Vaughn’s grey ones. Jamie and Jessie where the kind of cousins who looked like they could be twins and both had a strong resemblance to the actor Elijah Wood, they could have been triplets. Vaughn, Jamie and Jessie together forever, they use to say or at least for those eight years. / A year went by since Jessie’s farewell and Vaughn and Jamie became the “it” couple only Vaughn became more invested in his short stories and poetry effortlessly supported by Jamie and her interested in singing. The relationship even got to the letterman jacket phase only it was a black jacket from a thrift store from a class that probably graduated the year they where born, it was always hard to make out if the missing patch was from 85 or 86. What can you say it was a thrift store jacket, very vintage but very meaningful in their relationship. Like most couples they looked into each others past in order to become closer and broke some boundaries along the way like drinking and sex. They always said they’d get married before they consummated their union and have their first drink on that day. It was going to be meaningful not sappy with red rose petals and a nice one on one dinner. More of a delicate moment of passion they would embrace on a dark moon lit honeymoon out in the fields shivering blue cold on a dark scarlet sheet, their color, with their song playing in their thoughts. Two white sculpted bodies with condensation on her breast and cascades of shallow breath raising his chest and shoulders as he shed a tear, was how it would start. / Some how Jamie fell into a crowd like no other and was swept away into glitz and glamour as the homecoming queen. Although proud Vaughn always resented this moment because it changed everything, they became more social and Vaughn changed his appearance to more modern day rock and less 1980s the Cure. The night of the prom Vaughn caught Jamie with the homecoming king Rick his heart never felt the same so always being his mom’s “baby”, the youngest. Vaughn decided to go to community college instead of the four year school him and Jamie had picked out or rather Jamie since Vaughn had gotten a journalism internship but turned it down in order to stay with her. “What a waste,” he thought. / Vaughn spiraled into an emotional victim but after several months of trying to recover from his first true heartbreak he charted a new journey, Impiety Valley Community College . He took three classes and met some great girls, friends. He even went to his first college party a month before his 18th birthday that fall. He was no longer prey to sympathetic hearts, like theirs, he was a predator, like her. / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
