jackson, wy

I spent the afternoon wandering around Jackson, documenting the old signs and buildings that are probably not going to be around much longer for whatever reasons. The full set is here, but here are some of my favorites -

prague again

A few more shots from my re-processing of Prague pictures. These are from the Charles Bridge area.

sunday afternoon

We took a field trip out to our lot today. I've been trying to take a few pictures every week or so - I think it will make an interesting record of the whole building process. They put in our road a few weeks ago and just poured the sidewalks last week. A few of my favorites from today:

prague revisited

Today I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Lightroom and have been happily tinkering away for the better part of the afternoon. I've gone back and looked at my pictures from Prague and have re-processed a few of them - mostly images I overlooked the first time through. Here are a few of my favorites from this afternoon (more to come, I'm sure).















and the newlyweds -

restorations

I've finally finished the restorations that I've had since MAY (shame shame shame on me) and will be sending them off soon. Matting multiple images into one mat has always been a bit of a challenge for me; the first one did NOT come out with the right size windows so I had to start over. But I perservered and they look great; I think Janet (hi!) will be happy with them.

She wanted to keep a sepia-y tone to them so after touching them up I converted to true b/w and added a browny-yellow layer in overlay mode and adjusted to opacity until I thought it looked right. I used the same color/opacity for the other images in the series so they would hang well together and not be all over the map.
