Being Remade

 Howdy Friends,

Well the black-hole-of-time called Photoshop was at it again this week... I have heard it said that transformation is a process not a product.  I couldn't help but think of this truth while I was working on the pictures below.  The photos show the transformation from the original picture to the re-created picture in the end.  Kind of fun to look at and think about.  Enjoy.   

















Hope to see you below the green boxes,

Gillian Gardiner Style

Howdy Friends!

Like Gillian Welch?  I hope you've had a chance to listen to a song or two of hers.  Really good stuff!  I was feeling inspired yesterday and recorded a version of one of her songs called One More Dollar.  I changed the lyrics around a little to make it personal to me and also to Gardiner.  My 15 month-old helped me out a little on the back up vocals.  Thanks sweetie!

So here's One More Dollar, Gardiner style.

Fun with Photoshop

Howdy Friends,

Recently I received Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for my birthday.  (Thanks Mom!)  It's a comprehensive program to say the least with unlimited creative possibilities.  Note to self, this could become a black-hole vortex of time.  Noted.

Last weekend my family and I made an afternoon trip into the park.  I was able to snap some pictures with the intent of "tweaking" them a bit later.  This morning I got a little time and had some fun.  Below are some selected before and after images of our outing. 

Enjoy!







 That's all for now.  Hope to see you below the green boxes.

Follow Me

Howdy Friends!

We are already into the second period of the year...  geez where did that go?  I wish I could tell you I was out rippin lips like my hog catchin', monster grabbin', sweet fly makin' buddy Satoshi was doin', but alas I'm unable to do so.  Holy cow!  Some of those pictures remind me of the mythical beast of lore!  You should check out his posts if you have a little time.

I did change 5 poopy diapers this month!  That counts for something, right?

Well, I have been working on a project of the map kind.  I found a fun idea for a map and applied it to Yellowstone.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  I'll play with it a little more this week...  who knows, maybe we could get it on a T-Shirt.


That's about all for now.  It's warm today, and when the baby goes down for a nap, I may sneak down to the confluence to see what's going on.

Until then,

I hope to see you below the green boxes.
