Last evening I was going through some flickr mail, some as far back as April... yeah, I'm not the best at keeping up with any kind of mail.
Anyway I had a couple month old mail from diyosa, telling me she'd deleted an image that I'd faved & she'd re-uploaded it. (Be sure to check out that adorable little girl of hers!)
So I finally I go look. Not only had she re-uploaded the image, but she also included a link for these fabulous photoshop brushes. Of course, I had to download them! And of course, I had to play with them! Well, I was making a big fat mess trying them out, so I went to bed. This morning the file was still opened, so... the big fat mess pushed onward!!
I'll have to give these brushes a more serious approach some other day.
Went a bit nuts with them here. ;-)
Note: This was not taken by me (duh, I'm the subject :P). It was taken by my good friend Adam. Check out his Flickr, he has some excellent shots posted.
It was taken a few years ago (you can see my long hair). I've got no idea what I was doing, or why I was doing it, but he snapped a picture of it that I love, so I thought I'd share it. Don't ask me why I have a shower cap on (given the rest of the picture, that shouldn't really surprise you at this point). And yes, there is candy in the Pez dispenser ;)
Last night I realised I didn't have a photo to upload for Christmas day so I dusted off my colour changing presents for a new photo session.
Earlier in the year I found an old toy lying around the house, when you look through this toy it's as if you're looking through a compound eye (well, a very basic one) and I'd be trying to think of a way to incorporate that into a photo for a wee while.
After some messing around I finally came up with a set up I was happy with. The toy is sitting on a DVD case to raise it to the required height. The case also reflects the lights from the presents.
I took a few photos of this scene but they seemed far too similar to last year's Christmas photo so this year you have a video set to some nice music. I don't know if it's all that Christmassy but I like it for what it is.
You may notice that there's a little jump in the video towards the minute mark. This was caused by me standing up and nudging the camera slightly but it doesn't distract too much.
Anyway, I hope you all have a funjoyable day and all that pish.
Ho ho ho.
It's both amazing and sad how much of our life is metered or measured in one shape or form. Was it Mankind's dream to have the force of technological advances be the chains that control us?
I picked up the Ne-Yo album, "Year of the Gentleman" today on iTunes. Been listening to the song "Mad" all day. Love it. The lyrics remind me of a lot of things in my own life... things I wish I had realized when I was younger. But if there is a time to be a better person, it's better now than never.
If you have someone you're upset with do yourself a favour today and call them and extend a hand. We get so caught up in every day life we forget how short life is and in the end all this negativity is just wasting your life away. Don't go to bed mad.
Taking a few days off from work, so I'm leaving the snowy mountains behind. I'll be back soon to take more pics for Flickr.
I'm quite amazed at the nice crisp detail the X100s has over the X100 once you get up to F3.6 and higher range. No bypass filter means sharper shots.
I don't think I have anything else to say about this. It is clearly awesome.

We came across this old photo of Belgian laborers amongst other sober photos in a municipal museum. I was surprised to find the man joking around on the left...people had a sense of humor then, even though times were hard and they had to wear wooden shoes?
My first portraits as a new business were of mother and son who are close friends of the family and willing guinea pigs. No poses were planned, all I asked them to do was sit and mess around.

I really should have shaved, but I was bored, and felt like playing with lights

The only photo I have of New Years Eve, 2006. My camera died right after taking this photo at Mary Ann's party.
From TMBO, where I titled this "1000th Paper Crane," and was asked "[have you] actually made 1000?", I opted to write this little response. I've edited it a little since.
[The crane is] not mine.
Many years ago, before I had a major falling out with them, for a birthday one of my friends was given 1000 paper cranes by a mutual friend, each tiny crane folded over a period of 2 months. I think she spent an hour a day or so folding these small cranes preparing for this gift.
It's a powerful gesture. Even if the recipient of 1000 cranes doesn't know the story behind the gift, or what it represents.
So, when trying to figure out a title for this photo, that story popped in to my head.
I should teach myself how to fold the cranes. My buddy Taketora was a minor origami crane master until his untimely death. He'd fold them small enough to fit on a fingertip, out of spare bits of paper torn from the wrappers of the cheap chopsticks a local sushi-boat joint gave out. Occasionally, he'd have some small waxed paper with him, and send the cranes floating down the water way or subtly set them on the boats.
I don't think I could fold a crane to save my life. I can barely keep my hands stable enough to take a picture.
