Caffeine Collage by alophoto

Caffeine Collage

Wowie, I am almost embarrassed to put this one up here. Let me emphasize that this was a dramatization and I actually tried to look that awful on the left. I may have over acted a tad.

My tricky push this week was as follows: photo of a bad or nervous habit you do/suffer using selective coloring if possible.

How impossible for one who has only good habits;-). Ok, so I do have a few vices. Needing/wanting coffee every morning and afternoon is one of them. Can anyone relate?
Wow. If that's your worst habit...

Love the little sparkle. :^)

Awesome capture. Lmao over here, cause I know exactly how you feel. Coffee is my biggest vice, especially since I usually only get about 3 to 4 hours of sleep a day. You could have added a third pane showing you angry, raging cause someone stole your coffee or you ran out. Lol

@losthorizon I lost a follower over this ugliness. Ugh. Thanks and glad that you can relate. You need more sleep!!!!

@squamloon I'm not gonna show my really bad ones. I considered doing some joke ones with a rolled up dollar bill and some baby powder or a wine bottle in a brown paper bag or something like that. Thanks, I edited it off somewhere else in my photo and pasted it on the tooth. I wanted a ching smile;).

@amandal You lost a follower? Lol who?
May 3rd, 2013  
@losthorizon I'm not going to call anyone out, but it was a brand new one. Shucks. Oh well. Now that they know the real me, they don't like it. Off to drink more coffee to get over it.
May 3rd, 2013  
Haha nice one. Caffeine is amazing. I am not normal till I have it! =)
May 3rd, 2013  
@amandal You're awesome. Their loss. I have a cup in hand as we speak. Cheers. :)
May 3rd, 2013  
Our coffee machine broke at work today. Have been stuck in "before" mode all day. No in fact it got much worse as the day went on...
May 3rd, 2013  
Love your gusto Amanda :) Yes. I can relate. Specifically to the coffee dilemma. The first cup of the day is "free". In other words, no harm, no foul. It's the subsequent cup(s) that MAY cause some long term issues. have I rationalized this enough yet? My firm has these amazingly wonderful coffee/latte/cappucino/whipped cocoa/everything delish fancy machines on every floor (40). They are free and fully stocked. need I say more?
May 3rd, 2013  
@fueast I want your before photo. I can't believe how bad I looked in this one. Actually, the after one kinda stunk, too. Glad to see you on here again. Hope you get your coffee soon:). Happy weekend!

@losthorizon Aw, shucks...thanks and cheers!

@ididntdoit87 Me neither. I just love starting my day with a cup o' joe! Sigh!
May 3rd, 2013  
@adamj I tried to get some legs in the collage, but couldn't figure out how.;-) Your work coffee machine sound marvelous. We brew it good and strong at home and I flavor it with natural creamer. Not as fancy, but delicious.
May 3rd, 2013  
This is great! I can totally appreciate the feeling here.
May 3rd, 2013  
@helixconcepts Hey, lady...I finally pulled something off. Not such a major vice or nervous habit (I don't have any of those to speak of or that would be easy to photograph). I may have one more trick (idea) up my sleeve. Man, did I take some ugly selfies for this one!:) Happy weekend!
May 3rd, 2013  
@amandal You're mean. Leaving me with that thought of what could have, check that, should have been...lol. Yeah, the whole coffee thing is funny. I never liked coffee until I got a promotion 20 years ago. My days at the office grew longer and the rest is history.
May 3rd, 2013  
@adamj Next time...My coffee habit was purely social until I started working...and then a complete necessity when I was up dealing with kids first thing every morning (and sometimes in the middle of the night). Happy weekend.

@l2lumom Thanks so much, Traci. Glad that you get it and appreciate this one, too:). Happy weekend!!
May 3rd, 2013  
I can totally relate. That's quite a challenge you got. Very funny result.
May 3rd, 2013  
Love it! Great expressions in both! I can't relate to the coffee addiction though. If you can believe it, I have NEVER tasted the stuff! I don't like the smell and have always avoided it. I'll have a cup of tea once in a while though.
May 3rd, 2013  
I reckon you are just a very good actress! I still look like that after the coffee ;-) good job of meeting your challenge.
May 3rd, 2013  
Such a great dramatization!! I had a good laugh when I just took a break to scope out 365 for a few minutes. Yours popped out! I love the smell of coffee but fortunately (as a Type A hyperactive person), not the taste. If I liked the taste, who knows what I'd be able to get done! I'm the tea person in the family, my husband the coffee rep.
May 3rd, 2013  
So recognizable. Makes me smile.
May 3rd, 2013  
You are sooo funny. Fantastic collage :)
May 3rd, 2013  
Hilarious. And coffee is NOT a vice - it is good for you.
May 3rd, 2013  
Love it - although I'm a tea drinker :)
May 3rd, 2013  
@soboy5 I thought to do something off the wall like drinking a bottle of wine from the bottle in a bag or a rolled up dollar bill or something. What a tough challenge, though to show a bad or nervous habit and have it something that you want the world to know.
May 3rd, 2013  
This is fantastic - very funny. I also need caffeine to operate.
May 3rd, 2013  
lol love your expressions! just perfect! fantastic shots and collage!
May 3rd, 2013  
Awesomeness --easy on coffee 'tho !!:)
May 3rd, 2013  
Super selfie Amanda!
May 3rd, 2013  
Haha love it!
May 4th, 2013  
I love it too! Especially the sparkle!
May 4th, 2013  
Love your playfulness and sense of humor, Amanda! I would happily drink a cuppa with you!
May 4th, 2013  
Can totally relate to your vice! Great fun before and after!
May 4th, 2013  
@pflaume I absolutely want to share a cuppa date and you can share with me how to be so awesome:). Thanks, Lisa. Loving your DC series so much!
May 4th, 2013  
You make me laugh!!
May 4th, 2013  
Ok. I laughed out loud and the kids wanted to see why :) I now have a hundred questions to answer about coffee and why it makes you feel better!
May 4th, 2013  
Very clever collage. I love the little sparkle after coffee. :)
May 4th, 2013  
Very funny !! Great way of showing the effect of a hit of coffee.
May 4th, 2013  
You just made my day! I love the sparkle on your teeth, made me smile. Awesome before and after.
May 4th, 2013  
@masosy Hubby keeps saying it looks like I have something in my teeth. Oy. I did a fast cut and paste from a sparkle effect that made my earring look that way so I got a bit of the ear in there and slapped it on my tooth anyway. This isn't for a frame. Glad that you liked it, Kate!:)
May 4th, 2013  
Well the coffe brought a smile to your face great idea creative capture !
May 4th, 2013  
JH
Haha Brilliant! At the moment my 'after' still looks a bit too much like my 'before' for my liking.
May 4th, 2013  
Cool! This reminds me of several of my friends too... :)
May 4th, 2013  
lol, super cool idea and very well executed. nice transition from b&w to colour :-)
May 4th, 2013  
hehe ...on the left side ..."heh, what? what did you say? I can't hear you ...haven't had my coffee." right side .... "yes dear, sure, I'll be happy too ;)"
great shot!!!
May 4th, 2013  
Ha! That captures the feeling perfectly.
May 4th, 2013  
Hahaha! Me too, great idea
May 4th, 2013  
Well Amanda, I do believe you nail that one right on the head! Great shots, and A+ on push. I`m right with ya on this shot.
Really good, love your humor!!
May 5th, 2013  
My morning smile. Thank you.
May 5th, 2013  
@helixconcepts So so glad that you liked this. Thank you!!:) Fun, different push. I still hope to get in one more tonight, though we will see if I have time.
May 5th, 2013  
@thirtysevenways That cracks me up. So sorry that you had to explain it to your kids. Glad it was a relatively clean thing to explain and not me with a needle or something awful.
May 5th, 2013  
Hahaha you made me laugh out very loud!
May 5th, 2013  
@bardejov Thanks, lady. Glad you get it:).

@kwind You don't like the smell??? Even before I liked coffee, I loved the smell. I drink it all dessertified and it is quite delicious. How I would love to have a coffee date with you and talk camera shop:)!
May 5th, 2013  
haha! very amusing amanda. gotta chuckle! nice choice; very creative :)
May 5th, 2013  
LOL. Well done.
May 6th, 2013  
Hahaha :oD This made me smile as it's me to a tee! When I visited my daughter (who drinks only tea incidentally!) I was made a coffee in the morning and wondered why I still felt awful. Turns out she only has decaffeinated in the house...what's the point! ;o) xx
May 6th, 2013  
Pea
Hee hee, this is really funny. I feel exactly the same about coffee!
May 6th, 2013  
@happysnap You crack me up. SO funny, Linda. Thank you!

November 21st, 2013  
@smellychelli Mmmmm, chocolate...I love it with or in my coffee. Such a treat. Milk, white or dark? I'm a dark girl. It's a super food after all:)!!!
