These smurf-blue eyes of mine

40/52: Smurf-blue eyes o' mine by lancelonie, on FlickrAll the blues here are real. I'm wearing a royal blue wig and holding a blue glass. As for my eyes, I'm not not wearing eye contacts. But here's how my naturally dark brown eyes turned into blue...

I leaned in front of a window with my camera against the light. When I held my blue glass, it got reflected into my eyes. With the help of natural light and Adobe Photoshop, the effect becomes noticeable.

Quick Photo-Processing

I first sharpened my image up to a point where my blue gets even bluer and brighter. I made sure no pink tone will come into play when adjusting my colors. With selective coloring, all my blues were even more intensified by adjusting the colors blue and cyan. Then I made my orange lipstick shimmer to balance it with my bright blue wig.

For this portraiture, I apply careful overexposure to even out the skin. (Hey, I'm not flawless like my stranger no. 1.)  Then I toned down the blue on my glass to keep the focus on my hair and eyes.

Oh and, by the way, I was in the mood for blue because I got smurf'd last Saturday night...

Don't be fooled by their cuteness!

Mother's Smile poem by Michael Burch

Mother Smiles For Me by lancelonie, on Flickr
Mother’s Smile
by Michael Burch

There never was a fonder smile
than mother’s smile, no softer touch
than mother’s touch. So sleep awhile
and know she loves you more than “much.”

So more than “much,” much more than “all.”
Though tender words, these do not speak
of love at all, nor how we fall
and mother’s there, nor how we reach

from nightmares in the ticking night
and she is there to hold us tight.

There never was a stronger back
than father’s back, that held our weight
and lifted us, when we were small,
and bore us till we reached the gate,

then held our hands that first bright mile
till we could run, and did, and flew.
But, oh, a mother’s tender smile
will leap and follow after you!

dedicated to his wife, Elizabeth Harris Burch and mother, Christine Ena Burch
