Never Quit by McKenna Jean

Description (by McKenna Jean)
It is true that you can't love someone out of a disorder; however, it is also true that your love can encourage them to keep fighting even in the darkest hour when a better future seems impossible.

I used to have panic disorder with agoraphobia. I struggled with it for many years; during the worst years, I was terrified to leave the house, sometimes even the room I was in. Some days, I would be in a constant state of high-level anxiety. Going places, meeting friends, eating, sleeping: all were mutated into trying tasks under the veil of anxiety.

Now, I only experience (much milder) symptoms occasionally. I have conquered the anxiety. I have taught myself how to accept it and move on, not to let it scare me into inaction. I have, essentially, been my own therapist.

The objects featured in this photo were gifts: the cross pendant, from my Grandma, and the paper weight, from my mom. Both gifts were daily reminders during the hardest times that I owed it to myself not to give in or give up.


(PS: The background is a printout from the DSM-IV-TR that I acquired in my recent abnormal psychology class.)

A plain paper written by words could be an amazing object of a photograph. I never let myself get stuck. So I decided to capture a photograph just with a paper. And this is it ... !
I dedicate this photograph to every couple on this earth. :D

Processing (Photo Effects)

I often add one or two effects two my photographs. Effects help me removing some bad colors and it gives me a satisfying result. I also love mixing effects like "Black and White" effect mix with "Velvia" film effect or "Sepia" effect with "Provia" film effect. But I won't mix the effects if I can get a good result with just one effect. Maybe you are asking where did I get the effects. Well, I got them from Photoscape Image Editor. You can click the link and download Photoscape for free! And I also use Photoshop to process my photographs.

I get my Photoshop actions from http://www.thebellsisters.com/ and http://alexbeadonphotography.com. the Bell Sisters provide Photoshop actions, Lightroom presets, Aperture presets and Photography Tips e-books. You can buy their products by visiting their site.

The lovely Alex Beadon provides free Photoshop actions for us to download. She also had posted a video about how to use her actions on Photoshop. Check it out here.

You are MORE than welcome to contact me if you want to ask me about my gallery or what. Just drop me emails. Have a nice day everyone!
