Log(pye)

It’s almost been six months since I last typed anything of remote value. So what have I been doing in this span of time… Basically just trying to escape work and procrastinate anywhere else I can put time into. Somewhere along the way I got lost, and now I find myself overwhelmed with things to do – pulling myself in all directions, because I took on so many different things to try to find my “out".

Since San Francisco, I only picked up my camera once for a week in Vegas… and nothing else since then. The Blue Angels were in Seattle again for the annual Sea Fair event; so I took the opportunity to catch some sun and take some photos!

I touched up these photos gently in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 (something new I’m playing with). I’ve always thought that Photoshop was a little too heavy for my workflow since I tend only to do slight changes and tweaks to pretty much bring out more saturation here, crop a bit there, sharpen up the shot a bit all-around. Anyway, it seems pretty nice. The UI is laid out pretty well; the common tools are all there; most things I want to do are either one-click or can be saved as a preset. All-in-all it looks promising. I think I will soon put all my photos (at least the newly shot ones) into the Library and see if I can manage them from within Lightroom.

..eyp; Climb on!
