Photo of the Day: Aspen Mountains

I鈥檓 not really sure if I like this photo, but I would love some feedback. I think it is slightly out of focus. I remember the feeling I had when I was taking this photo and that was a great feeling. I was on my own, in the middle of the rockies, breathing cool fresh air. The feeling is probably not enough to call this a great photo, but here it is regardless 馃槈 ...

Photo of the Day: Wedding Bands

This is perhaps the picture I am most proud of. It was a beautiful wedding and this picture is really amazing to me. However, I鈥檓 not sure I did good job on the color corrections. I鈥檓 posting both an edited version and a version taken directly from the master. Let me know which one you like the most.

Photo of the Day: Wavecrest on the edge of Focus

Recently I redescovered Jason Santa Maria鈥榮 blog. He writes about some very interesting design topics, and has a very unique blog layout. He鈥檚 a cool person, I鈥檝e written him in the past and gotten responses. My days as a designer are, at least temporarily, over. My job these days really revolves around programming an debugging. And right now I鈥檓 doing MFC/Windows programming, so web is really not a key focus of mine. This means that Jason鈥檚 blog really doesn鈥檛 cover all that relevant material for me. ...

I Love Shoulder Stands

Today I got slammed back into doing shoulder stands at CheerGym鈥檚 practice. This is a relatively simple stunt where you take a girl throw her up in the air and catch her on your shoulders. I got to do this with my good friend Chaz, and while it didn鈥檛 really hurt, I do have some marks on my shoulders from all of her foot prints. ...
