Skype

Emily (Residing in: Adelaide, Australia | Home:, Singapore) on 28 October 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I took these shots (using Skype and Prt Screen!) and they reflect my life now, miles away from home. However, they don't really feature me so i chose tomorrow's shot over this for dj.tigersprout's and ISAO's Self-Portraits Day on aminus3 on the 29th of October. (Take part, everybody!)


This years birthday: My family had the cake with the lighted candle, my brother played happy birthday on the violin as he always does on birthdays.


We had "family potrait" - all looked at the webcam, 3,2,1 *print screen*(there's me in the corner! so i'm in the photo too k).


They hooked up their laptop to the TV so 1.3 megapixel(ated) me was blown up to 42" glory lol. This was a fantastic way to end the day ^__^.


Virtual hugs and lunches over skype with my love.


Interesting, using skype as a camera. Still gotta press the button to capture the right moment. Thou 1.3mega pix isnt v good and there isnt much you can do about composition.


Another shot taken on that day (3rd of June - remember that =P)

Updated every Friday.

Comments appreciated, constructive criticism adored.

So, are you the young man with a lot of hair and a yellow jersey, I am sorry that's your brother ;) Well, happy B-Day to you. This is truly a great example of what technology improves our lives. It's not just about learning curve and blue screens, but connecting family members from afar.
