SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > my little guy 'bonked his bean' (graff lingo for "hit his head") this morning awfully hard on the toybox.  he got over it very quickly but i was thinking that the black and blue spot on his forehead might not look too well for his birthday on sunday. so--i raced to dress him in his birthday portrait outfit and urged him to pose for me.  it was a struggle for us both but i think i got a couple of cute ones.
(thanks john for offering feedback and helping me to pick these out of the album.)  
happy early birthday my love.  sorry-but momma is probably going to dress you up for a few years to come--until you are able to put up a fight!

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.07.03 (Thu) Well, it was a virutal Friday, biked in by 7, wrapped up my remaining use cases by 3:30 and took off to start my 3 day weekend!  I got to watch Peyton for a bit until Kayla got off work, then waited while B biked Bri home but no one was there when they arrived. She did not have the keys so they had to come back.  I grabbed the camera and figured the 3 of us could run over to Mel's and grab some car shots until her mom got home to let Bri in. 

After grabbing this shot we ran to my parents and hung out with them for a while, then we left my parents and I pulled over to swapd spots with Brandon so he could get some practice driving stick.  It finally clicked and he got the hang of it.  I had him drive us out to Folsom to visit Robin for some more practice and then I realized we were not going to get Bri home on time.  I decided to drive on the way back so we could make better time and we got Bri back by 10:01, I hope she didn't get in trouble.

Robin just arrived home, gotta run!

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > This was taken on my 6th grade Europe trip with Mr. Dolby. Out of all the different places we went in two weeks, this was one of my favorites by far. It was taken from a bridge while we walked to St. Marks square on the way in.

Okay, I'm liking this "painterly" approach to image creation.  This one is not a montage like the previous version fron 1/21.  My photo image, but I did still use the stock "texture" files supplied on the CD that came with the magazine (see 1/21 for more info).  

So then I tried using my own creation texture files (and one I found online).  

Here's the result (different look and feel - even more impressionistic):

"Artsy-fartsy" day.

So I bought one of those slick photography magazines that Barnes & Noble sells - you know the ones I'm talking about - oversized, published in the UK, comes with the CD in the back.  This one is Advanced Photoshop Techniques - Issue 25.

I liked one of the articles in the issue I bought, specifically on PS textures.  This is my effort to follow the steps they outlined.  

I used a couple of my own images  and I used a couple of their supplied stock shots.  Here's the finished result.
