I swung by Nutter's open house, but didn't feel like waiting the 3 hours to shake his hand. Still, City Hall is looking pretty good now that they've blasted the pigeon crap off.

If you're like me, you sometime eat your first meal of the day after 1 in the afternoon. Do I eat breakfast? Do I eat lunch? Should I go back to sleep until dinner? Well today I came up with the solution. I present to you, THE PANCAKE DOG!

It's you basic 'pigs-in-blanket' concept crossed with a corn dog. This is as tasty as it looks and sounds, which is to say if you think it doesn't, it's probably not for you. To be honest, I probably should use some sort of sausage or brat instead of a hot dog, but a hot dog and pancake mix are what I had to work with.

I took the picture of a dead squirrel about a year ago. When I took it, I thought "it looks like a 'T'!" I sat on it for a while, but kept it in the back of my mind. My larger plan was to do a whole series of found fonts, eventually yielding an alphabet. That hasn't happend, and, at the rate of a letter a year, probably won't. Despite that, I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Not so much the squirrel to letter itself, but the whole presentation, with the border and such. Usually I toss my pictures down without it. In fact, when I used to play with the darkroom I'd get off on leaving the edges of the negative in there just to show that the picture was uncropped. I still prefer that, but sometimes it's good to play around.

So, this little bit of wonderment took me about 6 hours to put together. Flowers are pretty cliche, but it had been a good long time since I've geeked out with Photoshop. As a technical exercise in using layers and selections, I'm pretty pleased.

A late night binge of productivity

2006-05-13T01:38:00.000-05:00

It used to be that my great joy in Photography was playing in the dark room. I loved tinkering with the machines and watching the picture appear before me. Or maybe it was just the fumes from the chemicals. In any case, my Fuji FinePix gives me instant gratification with picture taking, and now I find the post production work with Photoshop to be a bit of a chore. It doesn't help that my laptop monitor changes brightness levels depending on what angle I view it at. Posting online is fun, but it's no replacement for a print in the hand.

Unfortunately, most of my pictures of the Turtle were very out of focus when I took a closer look at them. My camera sadly has a hard time with that in low light. That very last one of Monkeyman, though, I think turned out quite nice.

Towards the end of the evening, I realized that I hadn't left the house all day. I'd had a few plans to, but they fell through. I decided to correct this by grabbing my camera and hopping in the car.

Taking pictures of Monkeyman and Turtle is like shooting fish swimming in a barrel of cute. I enjoying the setting of this one, though, especially since Monkeyman is sitting next to a couple bottles of hooch meant for me.
