I'm a slacker and are you on facebook?

Thu Jul 9, 2009, 7:52 AM
I have been working two jobs and training for a half marathon, so I haven't spent nearly as much time taking photos as I'd like. I've been going to shows like crazy but, because the lighting is so dim and I don't have what you'd call an advanced camera, my photos are not quite as amazing as I'd like them to be. I've taught myself a lot about Photoshop and have been using it to adjust color and contrast (I generally spend less than a minute on each photo).

I have been sketching, too, and am stunned at how far downhill my skills have gone in the years since I stopped drawing.

And I'm obsessed with facebook so, if you'd like to be friends, note me or post your link here and I'll friend you.

The following are photos that I have posted on facebook but have not yet gotten around to posting here:

Carpe Lumen! Carpe Scienciam! Carpe Vitam!

The very concept of existence is surreal. To be able to understand it, would cause you to first lose yourself in the concept of what is.
