Feed me, Seymore!


I'm just saying, this flower looks like it could turn evil any minute and start asking for some blood. If it breaks into song, run!

very much an oldie

This is a photograph that I took back in 2006 when I took my one and only photography class in college. It was my very last quarter of school and I had finished all of my required classes, yet I still had credits that had to be filled. So, I decided to just take fun classes. I took a French literature class (which ended up being extremely NOT fun), a class on Mockumentaries (yes, I got to watch Spinal Tap as part of my curriculum....jealous?), and a photography class. I'd always liked taking pictures, but never really thought of myself as a photographer. This class definitely opened my eyes up to a whole new world. And the rest, as they say, is history.



This is probably my favorite picture that I took for that class. Unfortunately, this is a poorly scanned in copy of that photo, but you get the general idea. One day, I will go through my huge box of negatives and find this negative, so I can have a better quality copy on my computer. Until then....I hope you enjoy this one!

amazing what a little work can do

Here's the before shot. This is how the picture looked after I snapped it.


Not too awful, but overexposed.


And here's the after shot. I used Picasa to fix the contrast, saturate the colors and create a glow. I think the result looks great!

more sprinkles!


Yeah, I know, I need to go take more pictures. I just worked the past 6 days. One of those days was a 13 hour day too, so I haven't had much free time. Today is my day off though, so I will go out and take some new pictures!
