Wedding Pics Part One

IMG_4102

A few months ago, Shelly and I took some pictures at a wedding reception for a work friend. Today's Thing is fixing all the photos. Tomorrow, I'll have a DVD for the couple with a menu and photos. Fixing the over 130 photos took a while because the lighting was low and everyone had red eye. It was tricky finding the right exposure, color temp and saturation. There were a few good shots in the set, but because of a weird pause on the digital camera, almost all of the bride shots caught her with a strange expression on her face.

Oh well.

Card Houses

My Thing for the day is a triple decker card house:

OK. How about just a tiny card house:

Mini Card House

It might work better if our floors were level. ;p
Well, how about just some nice photos of cards:

PCI Card


My warhorse mac is over six years old and still chugging along. I'm expanding the mac with a bigger external hard drive and a better DVD burner, but I have to install a USB 2.0 card to upgrade. I've never installed a PCI card before and it turned out to be pretty easy. No drivers or nuthin'. The hardest part was getting all the dust out from inside the mac, that was three-fourths of the time. For those with older computers, blow the dust out of them every six months or so. I must have aired out a pound of dust, all sucked in by the fan system. Anyway, here's some photos:

Skitch!
The PCI card only costs 20 bucks for five
new ports, 4 external/1 internal.


HPIM0042
Skitch! I had to use almost a full can of air.


HPIM0043
Skitch! And the fans blades were worse.


HPIM0045
Skitch! Mac clean, hard part over.


Photo: Graffiti

I am not condoning graffiti, but this was very cute.
It's the same color as the tagging on the buildings on the block.

Did you see the name of who won the free t-shirt?? That's right, this zombie lover right here! YAY! The shirt came in the mail today and the personalization on the envelope is awesome, too!! It fits the 1/2 manaquin pretty good, I hope it fits Bryan.
So my Thing tonight is a big, heartfelt, purple "THANK YOU" to Len!

I've updated my photo page, and my flickr page. On the sidebar, see the new and improved seeshells' photos, and click here for my flickr page, complete with collections.

Photo Contest

Worth 1000 is one of the sites I visit daily. I love looking at the Photoshop contests, people get so creative, the contests are inspiring and fun. Worth also has text contests, mulitmedia, and photography. Three and a half or so years ago I entered a beginning photography contest with the photo below, and came in fourth place. I have entered a few other times since then.
My 'thing' today, is that I have entered another beginner photography contest. Voting started today, and goes for about a week, so I won't tell you which entry is mine just yet. Here's the link to the contest, if you choose to vote, I think you have to sign up, don't feel like you have to.

Yahtzee! pt 2

The second 'thing' that my thrifted game is, is a submission of my photos to Board Game Geek. An awesome site where you can talk about games, review games, list all the games you own, post pictures of games. I updated my profile some while I was there, but I don't have half the games I own listed yet.BGGYahtzeePix

Yahtzee! pt 1

Two things I love are gaming (that is to say, the playing of games) and 'thrifting' (the art of finding something really cool at a thrift store, garage sale, or auction). So combining the two is pure bliss for me. (Combining a third thing I really love, crafting, into the mix, will be nirvana. Stay tuned...)Today I thrifted a game. And the first 'thing' that it is is a photograph:Jackpot Yahtzee Close Up

Self Portrait with SVU

Self Portrait with SVU
As a photography project and in an effort to see myself as others see me, I am going to start experimenting with self portraits. Self portrait does not necessarily mean a face shot, obviously, I've seen many creative self portraits on flickr that do not include the full face. I've also started a new page on my photo part of the blog just for the self portraits.

24 hours of flickr

May 5, 2007 was a special flickr day, 24 hours of flickr. Any and every flickr-ite was invited to take a photo of their day. Whatever they wanted to show their day, a day-in-the-life. Everyone can post one photo taken on that day to the big pool, and some of the photos will be chosen to be in a flickr book that will be coming out. This is my contribution.

ScrapBlog

My folks brought some pictures this weekend that they had made digital from slides. There were some cute shots of me and my younger brother that I don't ever remember seeing before. The new photos prompted me to make a new ScrapBlog page.
