When all else fails, there’s always the sunset. Not the most exciting sunset shot ever, but certainly better than no picture at all 🙂

This is what we do in Miami (and all urban centers, really) when space is limited: rooftop gardens and/or lounge spaces. Now if only someone would start a mass movement for rooftop vegetable gardens…. I see some unused space on the roof of my building 🙂

Bwahaha! I did it!
This is after chasing him around the house again; only this time with the “real” camera. Mr. no-fun in question spent a time running from me, and doing the usual turning his head away from the camera. Then, he decided that if he was going to submit to having his picture taken, it might as well be a badass one. So he viciously shook the empty beaver carcass (no shots were usable from that display of manly, vicious, studliness) and jumped on the bed. I think he’s thinking if he closes his eyes, I’ll go away because I can’t see him and therefore can’t take his picture. This is only the best of a string of shots I got off with his eyes closed.
And there he is with his eyes open and he’s even deigned to grace me with a smile. A smile and weird ears. D’ar is there because D’ar likes having his picture (narcissistic little despot that he is).
Nembu’s patience with picture taking is wearing thin; still with the weird, crooked ears. What’s wrong with this dog? Oh yeah, a lot.

After following him around the house and harassing him to no end, this is the best shot I could get of my big old man.

I’m tired of seeing such a good example of Mid-century modernism lay empty and unloved. 72,000+(?) of prime office space with parking lot on Biscayne Blvd. in MiMo/Upper East Side. Sure the windows are covered by metal grate, but the building looks cool…

What do you mean by putting a camera in my face? How could you do such a thing to such a dog? Seriously. Why?

Today’s picture. No where in the rules does it say I have to smile (Dad) ;p
I figured I would go ahead and get my POD out of the way during work so I don’t have to interrupt the mass amount of sewing I need to do tonight. More on that later .
April 6, 2011 – Playing with Portraits Of My Dearest
I’ve had it in my mind for awhile to play with portraits in Photoshop and have recently found a bevy of tutorials to help with inspiration.
With this first set, I decided to eschew the tutorials and instead play with one of my favorite effects, lomography, and different textures.
This is the original untouched version, taken during lunch this afternoon.
This version incorporates some light color correction and some fairly hefty blurring/halftoning of the background. I hate the car, but short of creating a mask and running the risk of making my DH look like he was somewhere he was not, I decided to (almost) live with it.
This version was run through a simple lomography action set in Photoshop. I love the green tones and popped colors.
This version incorporates two different textures with the lomo (see below); a distressed metal/burned film texture and a copper bokeh pattern. I like the end result; my DH says it makes him look old and vaguely creepy. I don’t see the old, and I happen to like vaguely creepy portraits. Bonus: I hardly even notice the hated car in the background.

Finally! At long last, the split pea soup my DH has been asking for for months. (yeah, I know, bad wife. Better late than never)

A portion of the Star Wars lego tableau staged on my headboard run through a Lomography action in Photoshop. What? You doubted I was an utter geek? Star Wars is awesome. Star Wars + Legos is even better.
