I finally got the prints in (yay!) and now I just need to get more frames from Sam Flax, but they look very nice.

Blogging has been very light as I deal with the work that has been piling up lately. And as I spell check this before I post it I see that the word “blogging” is flagged as a misspelling.

And happy birthday Adam.

I’m ordering more prints from the Kodak Gallery, who has done good work for me in the past. I took/created the photo above which will pair with the similar photo (with the same text) that I have of Schaef.

To upload the photos (65 megs this go-round) Kodak asks you to install an Active X control, making this the first time I’ve used Internet Explorer in around a month. It seems to work quite well.

In related news, Sam Flax has some extremely good deals on picture frames. While the high end frames are quite pricey, the medium is extremely low in cost.

I think this will be my last photo expedition to Freedom Parkway for awhile. I have been photoshopping the photos a bit more.

I hereby launch my lonesome fiddler photo series. The goal is to have many different people and places playing fiddle in silhouette. The below is the first draft. Much thanks to Jason for his help.

What I was shooting for is the image below. For this happen with a real person and not my angry nun bottle opener I would need a light bulb 4 feet tall. All thinks in time I suppose.

I’ve finally updated my gallery area to get rid of the pop-ups and added a back and next button, which will hopefully make that area a much more useful area.

Enjoy

All I get was one good picture out of 15. Oh well.

On another note, the photo framing (or treatment technique anyway) is called Southern Preserve Plaquing (where the photo is mounted on beveled black wood and then coated with a non-gloss protective coating). Has anyone heard of it?

I visited Clark Ashton’s Commuter Gallery today. I’m somewhat happy with the pictures, realistically most of them should have been shot as landscapes, not portraits (which is why most of them are focused the way they are). On the whole I don’t think I did it anywhere near justice. Some of them are good I suppose.

I also got some nice shots of Clark’s neighbors Chevy Newport car, which is a mighty sweet ride.

I got the Olympus lens in the mail today and I have to say it doesn’t seem like it was worth it. I’m considering getting this (assuming it turns out to be compatible.

In the meantime, here’s a close-up photo
