self-portrait sunday: night owl

Contrary to popular belief, I do not like mornings. I'm just constitutionally incapable of being quiet, hence my ridiculous cheeriness at insane hours. In fact, I like working at night much better.
Things are quiet, distractions are lessened, the compulsion to constantly check Facebook instead of working isn't as strong. My favorite nights are those in which I get lost in a labyrinth of images in Lightroom, editing "just one more" until I'm done, and I look at the clock and it's two am. So on nights when I don't have to work early, this is what it looks like a my house: me, sitting alone in the dark, face scrubbed, drowned in the light streaming from my computer screen.

It's a good life.
