Cuteness!



I got to visit with my longtime friend and her brand new baby the other day. What a sweetheart! I am so excited for Jessica and her little family!

Cards

I had business cards printed at last! I wanted to hold out for the letterpress, but realize that I will have to save up before that's an option and these will work for the moment. Now I just need to get moving on my e-portfolio!!

We have internet again!!!

Well, Steph and I finally sucked it up and got Comcast. It really was great when we were "stealing" internet from that unknown source, but once we figured out that our source was the Holiday Inn across the freeway...the guilt was just too much. No worries now though. I can go online whenever I want. No more library 30 minute limits.

Since it's been a little while I will leave you with some highlights from the last month or so:

It’s Photoshop. On the Web. From Adobe. (p.s. It’s pretty great.)

Today, Adobe releases Photoshop Express for the web.

Now before you go berserk, let us exercise some journalistic caution — it’s not everything you can do in Photoshop fit into a web browser. Not nearly.

No layers here, no fancy pants masking. But for 95% of your photos, it offers pretty much all you need to fix ‘em up, and it does it with style.

Whether adjusting exposure, white balance, or hue, touching up blemishes, or distorting your image, Photoshop Express provides an easy slider and thumbnails to give you an instant preview of your image at various settings. Even undo is better than you’d expect.

No, it’s not a Photoshop replacement, but it is a remarkably slick and well-designed basic photo-editing and sharing application. Arguably the best so far.

So what does it cost? It’s free, amigo.

Wow! This is not the same as real Photoshop, but still pretty cool! You should check it out.

Field Trip Thursday




On my days off from work lately I have been taking myself on photo field trips. These are from the sweet abandoned house that I found during my wanderings. You know me and old junk. Only one problem...I chickened out and decided I could not go into the creepy house alone. No worries though, because I am planning a return visit with a buddy. I tried out some new Photoshop magic on these and thought it fit the tone pretty well. What do you think?

Free tacos!!!

Well, hello! I know, I know, it’s been a good month since have given any sort of update here. And actually some major changes have taken place. I took a new job working at FORTHGEAR about two weeks ago. I also moved to Layton with my friend Stephanie around that time. It’s a lot of fun living with Steph and what can I say, life in the taco trailer is great! Kidding!! Sorry for the false “free tacos” claim. We don’t live in that amazing trailer. We finally found a cute two bedroom townhouse with washer and dryer. Great rent too! So far we love it! Especially because, living here makes both of our commutes to work only about five or six minutes. Speaking of… I better jet. Here is a photo from one of my recent fieldtrips though. I will post some others soon. Enjoy!
