Changing It Up

I have been documenting my summer tradition of going from mop-hair to clean cut for a while now, but this time I decided to do something different than previous years. This is a bit more basic, but I’m okay with that. Also, I usually go for natural colors, but switched it up this time…just because.  :)

• BTS Photo — that’s behind the scenes for you normal people.
• Ancient blog posts containing the tag haircut. My first attempt is awful!
• Cheers,

Bye bye beard. And hair. (+ soccer)

It’s gone–1, 2, 3, 4, 5. ;) As is the tradition–with summer comes less hair. Now…the hair!

Before and after the haircut. :) (

Weird “creepy” before and after picture of haircut

So I had this idea of doing a before and after pictures for when I got a haircut. Here’s what I came up with:

Best version, probably.

This is the best that I came up with. I didn’t put a whole lot of time into it, and when taking self-portraits for it, I kinda got impatient, so I didn’t have too much to work with picture-wise. It was fun to do though. Although it might look a bit creepy, I don’t really mind how it turned out. :-)

The steps:

1. I started off with this (v1), with no editing at all.
2. Then, I color corrected it a bit, and cloned the two together to come up with this, which is the picture that made it to facebook, which I guess makes it the official picture. =P
3. So I know that the eyes are messed up, this is because I didn’t have a haircut picture in which my head was turned the exact same way as the other picture. This made it so that while most everything else lined up, the eyes (which happen to be the most important) were too far apart. My solution to this was to use the eyes from the uncut picture to go onto the haircut picture. While this kinda makes other things not look right, I still like it better. Version 3 (also pictured above).

   In other news, I fail at posting on a regular basis.
