2010.8.31 Not much to say tonight. Just working to get back into the “zone” and the habit of a picture a day. It’s amazing how fast time can creep up on you.

2010.8.30 I’ll admit I didn’t think I was going to pull a picture off for today. But then, as the sun was going down, and I was getting back in my car after picking up frozen yogurt for our late night snack – there it was. A simply yellow fire hydrant with almost dead purple…
I haven’t had the chance to blog this yet, but I’m excited to finally get it up here. Alyssa and Collin had a set of twins a while back. (Is that proper English – “a set of twins”???) Jackson and Riley are their names. Amazingly cute kids. You may remember Alyssa and Collin from these…
2010.8.28 (Samantha) I’ve been out of it for a few days. It thought I would be able to keep up with posting, but I decided rather the force it I would rather miss a few days. I would much rather post stuff I like then images that I’m just posting to make it every day….
I mentioned yesterday that I would be traveling without the ability to upload photos from my DSLR. So, as promised here is an iPhone shot. I was drawn in by the reflections on the floor. I couldn’t get those shots to work the way I wanted but I ended up with some great motion effects….
2010.8.22 I will be doing some traveling for my day job the next few days so I may be limited to posting from my iPhone. I will not have my laptop so no processing or uploading. I need my “work” laptop and there is not much I can do with it. It’s funny how much…
This is the first photo I’ve posted here from the iPhone 4. Hopefully you know I post one iPhone picture a day at http://eyephlog.yagers.org. If not, go check it out.
2010.8.19 I seem to be drawn to half dead flowers recently. I wonder if there is something hidden in there deep in my head causing this?? I used Topaz detail on this to bring out the details in the dead petals. I’m liking this plugin quite a bit. I would like to be a photoshop…
2010.8.16 We have had a lot of foggy mornings this summer. The rest of the world has been baking, but we have had it pretty easy. I love the place I live.
I’ve been feeling in a bit of a creative funk in my personal work lately. Taking a photo a day and trying to post a good photo everyday can do that to you. I decided to take a trip to the Ventura County Fair and see if I could re-energize my creativity. The interesting thing…
2010.8.14 I’m not a huge fan of HDR and what many make if it. But I do play with it occasionally, and it can be useful to bring some exposure into a sky, or other more subtle techniques. I think you are going to use it aggressively, then really do it. Either go big or…
2010.8.13 This is Rachel. I work with Rachel. I haven’t done portraits of my co-workers since way back in the day and my 50 faces project. Over the next few weeks I’m going to try convince them all to let me take their photo. Rachel just started in my office a few months ago. She…
