I was giving a presentation to the 6th graders at the Middle School and it was time for them to show me what they had done. There were some pretty . . . . . interesting effects and a few were REALLY good and one girl did a very nice job with a Justin Bieber image. However, as soon as it appeared on the screen 95% of the class started booing.
There is hope.

When I read reviews of the books I was warned that heroes and good people died. In book one a very good person DID die Eddard. However I had not made it to this part in book three.
Many many people who had read all the books new that this was coming. A friend of mine asked another friend who had seen the episode what happens. The response was "Everybody dies".
Well, not EVERYBODY. Just many of the good people. At least MY favorites did not die and in fact the only people that died were minor good people. What was bad was when they killed the Wolf :-(
Speaking of sadness. We watched the last 45 minutes of Warhorse. OMG, how freaking emotional is THAT movie! And nothing gut wrenching happened.

I've been struggling with new photo software Lightroom 4. The beauty with LR4 (I have heard) is that it acts as a database for all of your photos, BUT, is not really intuitive when learning the "how does it work" part. Or the "where does it go" part. I'm on my 4th iteration of creating the files.
It DOES do a lot of wonderful fun things that are easier then Photoshop though.
But what I have found is that while I'm looking at my 15,000 photographs and keywording each and every one and starting over, I'm finding lost gems.
For instance, I had a request for "Lone Tree" and was having one of those "where the hell is THAT photo" moments and found a few others. In the future all I would have to do is search "tree" and all the images with tree would pop up. SWEET!!

My canvas guy has left the country for who knows how long and it's really messing things up. I think I mentioned that once already though.
SO - since canvas has now basically DOUBLED in price and some plans are on hold I'm starting to do more framing WHICH means many of my images can no longer be the 2x3 ration (like 20x30) and must conform to standard rations of 4x5,11x14 and so forth.
This is an oldie but goody but now square. I might like this better actually.

Here is a shot of Mullins in Columbus. This has actually given me a different inspiration so while I think this is a little . . .gritty it's gottin a new idea in to my head.

I'm through the Dark Ages in my book (Europe 101 The History & Art for the Traveler). The Vikings were so misunderstood.
I'm now up to Medieval Religious Art. Ya gotta love this stuff!!
Who would NOT want this hanging on their walls! DUDE has a little pee pee!
Have a great day
I like my 20x30 of the Square as is. You can see the umbrellas reflected in the windows.
ReplyDeleteCorrect - I do like that myself.
