I was in San Jose yesterday for my wife's graduation. It was held at the HP Pavilion. This is a panoramic of the building (it took some heavy tweaking in Photoshop).

This is an example of our manipulations of photographs to create a "comic" look.

This photo was take at a parade in San Francisco with a point and shoot Olympus.

Because we'll eventually need large quantities of photos for an up and coming project, I wonder how much of a hassle I'm going to be going through.
It's sad but, I've even thought of leaving my DSLR at home and just using the point and shoot and play it off like I'm just another tourist.

I took these as the sun was setting at our apartment complex. If the weather permits I'll take some more tomorrow. The brush fires in California are causing a lot of damage but, they do make pretty sunsets.

Taken with my cell with "added" crappy reflection. $44.91 to fill up the tank on a 99 Neon. I'm not really complaining, It may sound crazy, but I don't even care if it goes to $8.00 a gallon. Nancy and I only have one car and we live close enough to her job that she can walk and hey, it's a Neon not some honkin SUV (must suck for them).

May be $8.00 a gallon is what it'll take to help get us off the sauce.

Sothink here I come....right back where I started from...

So...if you've been following my twitter postings you'll know that I downloaded the trial version of Flash CS3 a couple of days ago and have been playing (i.e. wanting to smash its physicalessness into nothingness...if that's even possible) with it. The whole reason for this excursion was because Sothink Quicker was crashing whenever I tried importing video that I had worked with in Photoshop CS3. I just couldn't get it to work. So, I resined myself to getting Flash CS3 and the $699 price tag that goes with it. However after playing with it a little I found myself becoming more and more frustrated over (what is in my opinion an) overly complex action script set up. I mean come on! I'm a creator I don't want to lean another language just to make a button or go from one scene to another I just want to tell the software to "make this do that." and be done with it. That's what's so good about Sothink...simple. I can make a functional button with one line of action script...and to make a scene go from one to another...get this I don't haft to do anything. It just goes. Anyway so now I'm back working with Sothink Quicker and have found a video encoder (cost $45) that will convert the .mov files so that Quicker can read them. I know some day I'll need to become proficient with Adobe Flash but, I'm going to put that off for as long as possible.

All praise for the P!

The P setting on the Nikon D40 that is. I was speaking to my co-conspirator Lukus Traverso about how the new camera is smarter than me (as far as taking pictures that is...). Luckily the D40 includes a setting that more or less automates the ISO and Aperture settings giving the best shot possible to the inexperienced...something that I will not be forever. I also found this site that really helps if your new to photography or DSLR's.
