Mom, why do you look like you're in an autopsy photo?

I was playing around with my camera last night, mostly just fooling around with different settings. When I saw these shots, I decided that I actually liked some of them and I might like to make a little series with some weird processing in Photoshop. Most of these make heavy use of my beloved Lomo action by A2D, as well as some different Virtual Photographer filters.
I thought they looked kind of cool, but Em says I look dead. Oh, and she also pointed out that you can see every line and flaw in my face. I told her that was kind of the point and she just shook her head at me. Moms. What's a teenager to do?

I like them! They are very REAL and I think that's what I love most about them. :)

You are so brave! This processing gives them a really outre feel.

Definitely different but that's what makes them fun.

I think they are great, well, except for the closed eye one. That one is freaky. ;)

Yikes!!!!!! But they certainly captured my attention! I can't help but wonder what they'd look like with a group of people together. . . . maybe your daughter?

That third one really does look like your typical domestic abuse photo--all you need is the bruise/cut. :-D Cool shots, Amy.

Okay, that's freaky because last night, E. and I were looking at your new header and commenting that your self-portraits looked like a plastic surgeon's before shots. You know--a teensy slice here, a nip there. :} Your eyes are wonderfully DARK!
