Just a Swift Kick in the ......

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:01:01 GMT

Do you ever just want to kick things? Bad habits, bad traits, broken computers, people (just kidding)? Anyway, I took this photo while I was watching some students at Hopkins practice a few weeks ago.

I present you all with incredibly cute pictures today of my and my roomates' cat Ezekiel [full name: Ezekiel Meowmer II, C.O.P. (Cat of Perfection)].

Renaissance Festivities...

So two weekends ago, I went to the Renaissance Festival with a bunch of my photo friends and well, here's what I saw:

Back to Reality...

Here's a more natural looking picture, but still Mac-processed, as it should be...

Nocturnal Luminance

Here's a shot that I took about 3 years ago with my old Rebel XT, but I just processed it yesterday, when I realized that I had some old "gems" that I had never gotten around to processing. Following in the tradition of my recent posts, I bring you an extremely post-processed that I made on my Mac.

24.

Though I feel no different from how I felt yesterday, this age gives me all the more reason to watch one of my favorite TV shows.

Anyway, all of you are probably here to see some pretty pictures; not listen to me go on about growing older, etc. So here's a picture I took at the National Arboretum with Michelle two weekends ago. Hope you enjoy my first picture posted as a 24 year old.

So here's another shot that I took with Michelle at the National Arboretum...
Yay, more excessively-processed Macbook Pro fun.

So I went shooting with my wonderful girlfriend on Saturday, despite my immense amount of work... We went to the US National Arboretum, and I got some interesting looking pics. This one is a little bit more post processed than usual. I hope you guys like.

PS. Processed on CS3 for Mac on my MBP

Old Town Alexandria I

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:45:10 GMT

So I went to Old Town Alexandria a little while back ago with my wonderful girlfriend Michelle and our mutual friend Mark. Here's one of the million images that I took that night. I hope that I haven't lost my touch too much in my sabbatical.

This time I did the processing under Windows Vista x64 (but still through my Macbook Pro). Adobe has really done a good job making the Mac and Windows versions of their products function identically. I approve.

The Sky is Falling!!!!

PS. Yes, I am back... Muhahaha!! I just needed a little bit of a xanga break. I had way too much going on.

PPS. These images were processed on the new baby--my new, fully loaded Apple Macbook Pro. I really like it. I have it running Mac OS X Leopard on one partition (where I do my image processing and productivity stuff) and Windows Vista x64 on the other partition (for the more fun moments in life). Yes, I am a traitor (in two ways)!
