Earlier this year, I was featured by the Adobe Creative Cloud as one of their Creative Voices. As usual, I had Neil from Fly Home Freedom to come and cover my own BTS of the events.

While at Pangasinan for a short pre-Christmas family vacation so we can visit my grandmother from my mother side to celebrate Christmas a few days earlier with her, I wanted to take a photo of her.
Lucky for me, she was game enough to be my model!
We affectionately call my grandmother "Inang".

Essentially, I have nothing in Creative Cloud storage per app, but Adobe somehow thinks I'm using effectively 20 GB. All support staff has said the issue is at Adobe and that the issue has been escalated to "senior staff" but ... nothing. They have not made any of the promised call backs or given any of the promised updates. They may be working on it, but as far as I can tell, I've been abandoned.
We - my younger sister and I - had just arrived. It was her first visit to Los Cabos at the tender age of 52. A long time to wait to go to a country with more World Heritage sites than all of the rest of North and South America combined. With little light remaining, I arranged my camera's settings, put it on a ledge at the end of this walkway, and hoped for the best....
A tradition of Adobe creators, who cook the mud, and make little pieces of supports and hope.
And a lot of supports makes great structures of happiness.
I am having way too much fun, now that my camera is back!
Was sent out: March 13th_returned to me on May 24th!
worst service ever!
This was meant to be a "quick", "loose" painting, but it didn't quite work out that way. I don't use gouache very often, and I was working larger than usual (9x12"). So, I spent more time than I originally meant to (about 1.5 hours).
This is mostly pretty thin gouache washes, much like watercolor but a bit more "stable". I glazed the shadows over the original colors. At the end, I came in with more opaque touches. This is where gouache really comes to life.
There is a cart against the right-hand wall in the reference photo, but I screwed the cart up on my pencil sketch for the painting. So I converted it into a bunch of sticks leaning against the wall. I think it worked.
I almost put this aside as a failure but stuck it out to see what would happen. I'm glad I did because I'm actually pretty happy with it now that it's done.

Alonzo H. Russell Home constructed from Adobe mud brick. Grafton Ghost Town.
Grafton is a ghost town, just south of Zion National Park in Washington County, Utah. Grafton is said to be the most photographed ghost town in the West, it has been featured as a location in several films, including 1929's In Old Arizona—the first talkie filmed outdoors—and the classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. By 1890 only four families remained. The end of the town is usually traced to 1921, when the local branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was discontinued. The last residents left Grafton in 1944. The nearest inhabited town is Rockville, which now includes the Grafton ghost town inside its legal boundaries. -- Courtesy Wikipedia

So this is what I've been up to lately. Working on my website for The Swiggles. I love Adobe Edge Animate. It's basically Flash, but only an Edge Animate animation WILL show up on an iPad, iPod, or iPhone.
Oh and this is a new 15" Macbook Pro. My old one is creating errors. I will get it fixed, but I really wanted to have a backup so I got a new one that is more reliable. I thought the smaller size would be a problem, but it turns out to be sufficient sizewise. Besides it has a higher resolution screen.
The original soft ware, adobe bricks form the walls of a still standing cabin in San Benito county. The fact that a mud house over 150 years old is still intact speaks to how dry this valley is.
Adobe security fence encircling the old Fort Deseret near Delta, Utah. Originally built as defense against the Pahvant Indians during the Blackhawk Indian Wars of 1865. It was built from straw and adobe mud in 18 days by 98 men. When built it was 10 feet tall with a base of 3 feet tapering to 1 1/2 feet at the top with a total length of 550 feet.
A bit of sun today. This is the view of Deep Cove from the Quarry Rock Bluff, a short hike from Deep Cove Village on the Baden Powell Trail. Be sure to see fullscreen or original if you want to see the fine details.

I have a habit of quickly dropping to one knee when shooting sometimes to get a certain angle. But in Arizona you learn to be a little more selective as to where you put your knee...or your feet. Pretty much everything in the desert has spines of some kind, and, when viewed up close, like this, you can see that they mean business! P.S. I was not stuck by any cactus while out in my adventures in the desert. Lesson learned :)

Fish Quay, North Shields, Tyne and Wear, England, UK
Fish Quay The Fish Quay dates back to the 13th century, boasting a fascinating history. In 1225, a village of shielings - or fishermen's huts - formed where the Fish Quay stands today. North Shields took its name from these shielings and its location on the north bank of the River Tyne.
Traditional seafood businesses coexist with newer players, such as those in marketing and public relations. The Fish Quay buzzes with social life. There are plenty of places to eat, from classic fish restaurants to trendy brasseries. You can even enjoy fish and chips while overlooking the river and watching the ships pass by.
Navigation Aids The nearby buoy and the distant Herd Groyne Lighthouse formed part of the navigation in this tidal part of the Tyne, near its mouth with the North Sea.
