Today I started something new-compressing pictures. I have avoided this until now so that the pictures would look their best. The trade off was the download times were longer, and so I am now compressing them so this page will load quicker. The quality of the pictures will probably not seem less to most of you, but if you consistently notice compression artifacts, let me know and I will adjust the compression amount. Thanks!

I don't care... Thursday, September 18, 2008 | 0

...if this picture is almost identical to the one on July 14th; I'm going to post it anyways. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some pretty good fall colors in darkish kind of areas like this and I will be able to play with some more of the painting with light concept with fall colored trees.

post #250 Wednesday, September 17, 2008 | 4

Since you guys seem to like the flower fandango pictures, I thought I'd post another one. This will probably be the last with these flowers (maybe one more post). And since today makes the 250th post, I thought I'd include something different: a picture of me taking the picture you see here. Weird huh?

a flower fandangito Monday, September 15, 2008 | 13

I'm posting this a little early since I didn't put anything up for Sunday. This was taken at the same time as the "flower fandango" pictures, but has fewer flowers. I guess it takes more flowers to be considered a full fledged fandango.

masks - last day Friday, September 12, 2008 | 1

I love the expressiveness of this one.

masks - day one Tuesday, September 09, 2008 | 2

Today is the beginning of four days of masks from the Museum of Northern British Columbia in Prince Rupert. Out of the four masks, this one may just be my favorite. I love the beak like quality of this one, and the colors on this one really appeals to me.

Using Alison's camera feels weird.

wheeeee! Sunday, September 07, 2008 | 0

I looked at the blog to make sure this picture posted right, and it made me realize that the last four days of pictures were all taken on the same day (first day with the digital camera last February). I guess I should go out and take some new pictures, eh?

america Friday, September 05, 2008 | 1

With the conventions being the last couple of weeks, America has really been on my mind. I love this country, and I also love the fact that local scout troops have decorated our dumpsters along the river in a patriotic manner.

Here's a picture from outside of Warwick Castle in England. I can't wait for cooler weather and to see the aspens changing colors.

a brighter flower fandango Monday, September 01, 2008 | 3

This is a brighter picture taken the same time I took the picture posted on August 11th. I'm kinda curious which one people like better. Both of these were taken at f1.8, but drastically different exposure times. This brighter one had an exposure of 1/640th of a second while the darker one on August 11th had an exposure of 1/4000th of a second (the fastest my camera will go).

I'm sure there is a great spiritual reference to the amount of time we spend in the light, but I'll let you think of it on your own. :-)
