Almost Anything is Better than Self-Flagellation

Dateline: Whydowelovepainville or Is it just me?

Silly trick, but I liked it

For some reason, maybe a lack of readers, maybe fatalism, maybe the repredeprerecession, I've really fallen off from posting new entries here, even though I've been doing a lot of new stuff.

This one may be lame, but it was fun.



In any case, I've been self-censoring too much lately, and dedicating more time than makes sense to debugging one of the biggest, buggiest sites out there. It's well past time for a change.



There's not much more to say about this, is there?

This photo is starting to haunt me

There's something terrible about digital, both in general and specific. I think for the very first time I actually looked at this one in full scale. You probably won't notice the haunting artifacts unless you look very closely, or you're one of those permitted to see the full scale image. Anyway...



That's it. I'm procrastinating and pushing myself to a strange exhaustion, probably because I'll be seeing my parents a little later today, for the first time in over a year, and I'm conflicted about that, guilty, trapped, pummeled... You can pick your term and I've probably felt it sometime recently.

I'm going to add in a book that's helped me resolve at least some of my photography issues, if not my persistent feelings of ineptitude and such. Also, if I don't do this soon, Amazon might shoot me, or cut off my Associate "privileges." Anyway, I'm in love with Freeman's books, and even though this one is probably the hardest to read, it's also the one that has probably helped me the most over the past year or so, even though I didn't do so badly with exposure issues before I started reading it. And now I have someplace to point to when I talk to people about exposure.


Let's see how that worked.

ECRS Winter Workshop: An Adventure

And I mean that in more ways than one. Here's a slideshow of a few collages from the event. More when I have the time and energy to put them together. All photos are also available in individual form. They are also, it should be obvious, available in much higher resolution and quality. Most of what's presented here is strictly based on raw, unprocessed images whereas I usually try to spend at least 10 minutes and often much longer when presenting photos in "finished" form.

Note that if you click the link to view the images below on their Picasa page, you can see these at full screen size (still not actual size, but especially on older monitors it may be the best choice available).



Video below the fold, so to speak.

If I can think of something to add to this post, that too will happen. First I need to get some feedback and ensure this is not something that others might object to.
