Slow Going

Well, Christmas is finally over... it's not that i don't like Christmas. i actually love the holidays and having people to see and time to relax as a family. it's just that this year Christmas has been going on since the week before Dec 25 and i have to admit, i'm ready to get back to routine.

not much to report in the way of pictures. i'm supposed to have a session on Friday and i'm crossing my fingers that i don't get sick. Caleb and Sadie and Andy all have bad colds (well, Andy's isn't too bad and Sadie is on the mend). i'm just hoping that i don't get it.

i finished Sadie's one year pictures (check out my smugmug site to see them) and i've just been playing around with this thing called virtual photographer. it works with my editing software to create different effects on my pictures. it's been really cool to work with. so i have been looking at some pictures i took last year to see if i can improve them at all.

I tried to make the new version a little more subtle and cool. Let me know what you think. I'm still not sure that I like it.
thanks

  1. Keep pressing on . . .

    We've been slain by bacterial conjunctivitis, but (except for Eden who now has something else) we're all rising again for another week.

    With regard to the pic, I prefer the earlier one by a little bit. But if you're contructing an album with similar photos or hanging in a room with similar photos (and appropriate background), then I'd prefer the 2nd. I think one's answer to this question can be relative, depending on taste and use ;-) Theresa makes all of these type of decisions in the family, I'll ask her to take a look . . .

  2. Yeah! a comment.

    thanks for the feedback. the second showed up a little more desaturated than i had wanted it to... there's always some kind of difference between what i see in the paint shop program and what ends up on the web.
