Day 227 of 365 days. Continuing my unintentional series of "me sitting down." There were basically two things I had to accomplish today, work on my paper and get some of the furniture and clothes moved up to the new bedroom. Well, at least I got half of that done. I really should have worked…
Ok, this is really weird. I never really expected to be posting these that often, but for some reason several of my old shots keep popping in there. But now I’m actually kind of glad I’m keeping track. For some reason Explore recently decided that it liked me and lots of my older pics (as well as some of my new ones, like yesterday‘s) keep popping in… I used to float between 9 and 12 a lot. Now its 20. I’m guessing they changed the algorithm again.

Well, that certainly took long enough. Got mail that my Smoking picture from 1-12-07 finally appeared in the All Photographers Now exhibt at the Musee de l’Elysee in Switzerland.
Well, at least there’s one person looking at it.

Day 226 of 365 days. You know, I almost want to call this a bringing sexy back pic? What do you people think? I got to sleep in today. It was nice and I needed it. After I finally did get up, I did a little bit of the moving from our current bedroom to…
Day 225 of 365 days. Got home just before midnight last night from a wrestling show, after not really sleeping the night before. Went to sleep and now I’m off to another show that I won’t be home from til 2am probably. Sometimes this hobby is more demanding than a "real" job. I suppose I…
Day 224 of 365 days. At long last we’re finished. Well, almost. Steph and I had a new carpet installed in our attic today. After over two years of living in our house, our bedroom is finally done. Well, sort of. Now that there’s carpet, the doors don’t quite fit anymore, so we need to…
I’m still not convinced I’m going to keep doing this. Does anyone even care? But anyway, I’m up to 18.

Day 223 of 365 days. Ever since I convinced Steph to do her own 365 project, she’s been appearing in mine less and less. Technically, she was in the background of my 3-17-07 just heavily bokehed, but i figured it was about time I actually included her more directly. Plus, hey, if it gets me…
Day 222 of 365 days. Had my second interview with a company today (third if you count the phone interview I did first) and it seemed to go well. They probably want me to meet with another person next week. I actually kind of like the job, but really I’ll be kinda upset if I’ve…
For the Class With Dave group. Assignment: Black and White architecture. This is a repeat assignment from earlier. My original version of this assignment was a much more standard, though high contrast B&W night scene, so I decided to go with something more creative and different from what I normally do. This was shot in the afternoon on the University of Pittsburgh campus. In order to get more fantastic and less realistic tones, I used a combination of Channel Mixer, Curves and Levels adjustment layers with layer masks.
Channel Mixer:
Red: +40 Green: +180 Blue: -100
Levels 1:
input Black: 10 Gray: 1.00 White: 233
output Black: 0 White: 255
with a layer mask blocking out the right (bright) side of the sky.
Curves (input,output):
0,0 41,90 168,141 197,181 228,137 255,255
with a layer mask blocking out the building and the tree
Levels 2:
input: Black: 0 Gray: 1.24 White: 255
output Black: 0 White: 255
Day 221 of 365 days. I had been wanting to do another bodyscaping style pic, and this weeks Class with Dave assignment kind of gave me the excuse to do so. It also meant that I had to go downstairs and lift some before taking the shot, something that I have been seriously neglecting (and…
One of these three shots will be my 365 days shot for today as well as my class with dave shot (bodyscaping) Please vote and help me decide!
