the shat upon

those of you who know me, know that i can be very annoying and immature ... especially when it comes to phrases that i think are funny or odd or interesting. i will declare that new phrase as my "new band name" or "at least a song title for the band." i don't have a band. i can play "louie louie" on guitar and i don't know the whole thing ... anyway, the title of this blog is my new emo band's name. the shat upon. seems appropriate, those emo kids are so depressed ... that phrase actually came from wanting to shoot seagulls at a view point on the way to san diego ... weave and i were worried that we might become "the shat upon." ok seriously, that's my new band name.

i had fun shooting here and, no, we did not get shat upon.


sea gull or eagle?

the one called "wing" might be my favorite. it is not cropped (except for size) and honestly, i don't remember taking the picture, but i love it ... actually, its hard for me to pick a favorite. i like all 4 above, which is rare for me ...

Lightroom experiment #2. I took my real camera to the area that I have Otis run ... I think the iPhone pix are better, but these are OK and were a good experiment in Lightroom cause I got to burn some areas and do other stuff.

Sunday quest

Does this ever happen to you? You see something, a place, a sign, anything that you think would make a cool picture ... Go there and you just can't find the picture. You look at angles and shadows and change lenses and everything ... and you just can't find the picture that you know is there ... That's what this is:

Sunday evening

Anyone see the sunset on Sunday? Wow. None of these are editted, no color boosting, no cropping, except the last one is color boosted a little.

I took a few shots at the Nebenkanoozer's (sp?) charity poker tournament. They are not great, but I love the fisheye.
