del.icio.us
Here's a fun one for you!
Using someone else's data engine - I ran my del.icio.us account through it and got this.
I love it!

tiny
A little abstract - but nonetheless I think it holds up on it's own as a quality picture.
They are my Ivy's remains of a Saturday spent 'camping'

whoops
forgot all about posting a pic last night.
Life got confusing dealing with mice running through the apartment! They're cut little buggers - but they're not welcome to live in my place. Anyways - had to deal with that - managed to forget all about the picture.
Once again I'm reaching back a little bit to grab this one.
I took this in Las Vegas (I'm sure others have a similar shot) in the Belagio hotel.
I really liked the colors and fluid look of these lights - I hope this captures them appropriately.
Comments welcome.

motion again
Already I'm having trouble keeping up with the idea of one picture a day.
I haven't shot any photos in a while. So I'm kind of cheating and going back to the past a little bit.
Today's is from the walk home from the train to my apartment - once again - it's about the motion.
It's not the greatest - but I like the abstract-ness of it. :)
Perhaps I just like shapes.

night lights
Here's a different kind of motion. It's cars driving by, and the bright lights of stores, as you're running down the street trying to get somewhere quickly - - everything blurs, and changes into abstract shapes.
That's what we have here:
"nightlight"
Again, comments are welcome.

let the madness begin
Let the photo madness begin.
I think from this point on out I'm going to try and post 1 picture per day.
I'm starting with this one, which is a tweaked one from the same series of walking around and trying to capture motion with a still camera. It's a subway exit into grand central terminal at rush hour. I like how iPhoto managed to really massage this picture into a whole deep and rich look. I'm quite impressed with iPhoto right now. It's a bit too simple sometimes, but it keeps me from having to fire up photoshop for just some simple levels adjustments and gamma shifting. My biggest gripe with photoshop right now is it's 'activation' scheme. I hate crap like this. In fact I hate it so much, I'm going back to CS1 without any second thoughts. I liked the 'bridge' software that they came out with... but I can't stand being assumed a software pirate. In fact - apparently I'm a 'casual pirate' because I use more than one computer and only purchase software for one of them. But after the joy of having a motherboard replaced by apple (free - thank you very much apple) and then being told by some of the software makers that I had bought software from that it was a 'second' computer, and I'd have to buy their software again, because it locked to the ethernet port... well. Let's just say I don't care so much about software company's rights to make profits at my expense.
But that's way too much bitching about software... back to the photos. Without further ado, I give you "exit2":
I welcome comments and suggestions.

getting closer
I know things move fast and move slow at the same time. I'm slow to get up my music mixes on line, I'm slow to get up my pictures online. Everything else around me moves at a speed accelerating every day. The older I get the less long the days seem. The shorter the nights are, the less patience I have for the need of my own sleeping.
Ecto, don't let me down now.
Post my picture, please.
If it works, it's from a series of pictures I was working on using intentional camera movement.
Obviously, this one is about the subject's movement. I liked the horizontal lines and the matching horizontal movement.
Maybe I should re-touch some of my pictures a bit more.
This one's a bit boring color wise... stay tuned. I'll do a movement2 at some point.

shift to reverse
Well... guess it's not the end of the world, but I had to go from the new 10.4 - Tiger, back down to 10.3 Jaguar. There were some applications that I need to use at work (remote desktop, now up to date) that just didn't seem to be working in Tiger.
I found out the hard way that you really can't do an 'archive and install' to keep network and user settings when you're going backwards from Tiger to Jaguar. That was a bit of a bummer. So I've done the re-format, and now I'm re-installing from my backups.
(I've learned my lesson - I have backups now.)
So... it's taking a bit long to go back from firewire - but at least I'm at work and have a different machine to work on! :)
Better go and get some of that work done.

tiger surprises
OK here's some new things I learned about tiger that I didn't know.
Safari now opens PDF files right inside of itself. I used to have a plugin that would do that... now it just does it on it's own. (Personally I don't care for that... often I want to download the manual and print it out to read at my leisure.)
no longer can you get just a simple search of the folder you're parked in... it goes through the spotlight engine. Which to me seems slower than my old Command-F!
stay tuned!
