Photography

As of late, I've been experimenting with some photoshop tutorials to make my photos look a little more professional. The one I've loved the most so far is this tutorial which explains how to make your digital shots appear more like lomo photographs. While I don't think the result turned out like lomography on my photographs, I really like the effect and I did manage to make some nice photos.

Lately I'm working on a series revolving around country life since, well...I have no other option at the moment as I am stuck here. But, without further adieu, here are some of my shots. Click them to see them larger, it'll take you to my flickr account where you can select "all sizes" and see them at in larger sizes.









Anyway, you should definitely try this tutorial out for yourself and see what your own results are!

Ready to move foward.

I'm pretty much ready to get out of Albany forever. The things that I felt attached to here, I'm no longer attached to, and there isn't enough time to make new things happen. I need something new, and I'm hoping that the universe or whatever force there is out there is with me on that fact.

Anyway, I finally got a flickr account, so if you want to see some of my photos, go here: Clicky.

Getting Up Early...

So, tomorrow I finally get the three paychecks the Federal Work Study program has been owing me for what seems like forever. However, since the payroll office is located in its new, convenient location of NOT ON CAMPUS, I have to plan around these things. This means getting up early, as I have class at 1:15 (that I've skipped more times than I should already), avoiding the cleaning man who comes anywhere from 9:30 to 12:30, and finding time to eat sometime between all of this when I have work at 3pm, with class getting out at...2:35? I mean, attendance isn't taken in class, and it's pretty much useless to even go to it, but...I need the class to graduate (gen-eds) and I feel like somehow THIS stupid class is going to ruin everything.

Hopefully not?

Hopefully it'll all turn out all right.

For now, I leave this picture. Click it, etc.

Stomach aches...

I think I'm going to end up getting that bug that's going around. I haven't gotten the stomach flu in about a year, so I guess I'm due. Still, it was nice when I went about 7 years without vomiting once. Vomiting is my least favorite pastime in the world, at least I'm pretty sure.

I created a new deviantART account for my more polished photography pieces. I'm not so sure deviantART is the most popular place for artwork these days, but I'm not sure really where else to put it up. I actually think most people use Flickr? I haven't used it yet, I'm going to have to look into it.

For now, here's one of my photos from devART. If you click on it, it should take you to the page, and from there you can click on my username and view my gallery. There are prints available at unreasonable prices (not my fault) if anyone is interested, haha.

Kicking it off...

So, here it is. I've finally decided on a place for a public blog, after making weak attempts at having them elsewhere. Although, I don't think blogging is really something someone should really try hard to accomplish...just having a public blog makes so that I can't as openly bitch about things and people. Or maybe I can.

Now for random fun, let's post some bad pictures from my high school photography class that I attempted to salvage using photoshop. I think more of this kind of thing will be posted here.











The reason why I keep these things kicking around is because of the memories they bring back from high school. Good memories, but I'm happy to have gone forward with life.
