Okay, I am still waiting for my copy of Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Photoshop CS3. I was so thoroughly inspired by Shrew’s Photoshop adventures that I went ahead and ordered the book. And I don’t even have Photoshop CS3. Nor do I have the OS required for CS3. (Excuse my while I lament my situation.)
To make the wait a [...]
This morning, as I drove up the driveway and headed up the steps with seventy-six things in my hand, I noticed a little plant hidden behind my massive purple mums. It was a rust-colored mum. It wasn’t crying out for attention or anything. It just quietly sat there content with what sun and moisture it could get.
Since it had been [...]
Because Music Maven’s been on a mission to lure Shrew over to the land of twang, and me, I just like butting my head in where it doesn’t belong.
But I love this Alison Krauss number, which is a cover of a Todd Rundgren original. So maybe there’s hope that Shrew will like it too.

Uh … that would be me. It was chilly, the aluminum stands were bitingly cold, the people next to me kept jostling around and stomping their feet, the field wasn’t brightly lit, and I was too far for my flash to be of any use. (Plus, I really hate using the flash.)
So I ended up with pictures like this:
Pretty trippy, [...]
In my previous post, brc so perfectly echoed my feelings when she said:
I have to say that I’m finding this whole macro thing to be almost a religious experience. Since I figured out how to use that setting on my camera I’m awestruck at what I see on the computer. The details in nature are truly amazing.
Yes indeed. When I [...]
Remember how I lamented the fact that all my originally vari-colored mums had mysteriously turned purple? Well, I may have spoken too soon.
These beauties greeted me yesterday, the first afternoon since I got back from my trip that I’ve been able to walk outside without fear of any physical activity imploding my lungs or my releasing some virus that’ll mutate [...]
Because it’s Sunday. I’m tired of having the flu. It’s cold outside. I’m home alone. And I went and dug up my old Symphony Sessions CD because this post reminded me of it.
This music makes me think of long drives across upstate New York with my mom and my older brother. It’s music that makes me well up inside and [...]
The Myth of Talent by Craig Tanner
Head on over to Shrew’s site for a reprint of Craig Tanner’s powerful article “The Myth of Talent.” Then check out Craig’s photoblog and be prepared to be amazed by this man’s work.
Oh, and although Shrewie thanks me for forwarding the article to her, in reality, ultimately the credit goes to her. Here’s [...]
Just got back from my Caribbean trip, and now I have to get used to seeing the extremely brown reflection of an Asian girl looking back at me from the mirror. The brown reflection also seems to be coughing a lot in a hoarse and unflattering hack of a voice. Must be punishment for having too much fun in the [...]
