Do you really know how to export your photos?

Monday, May 31, 2010

Last week I ran across a problem that I’ve been seeing more and more. One of my regular clients (and new friend as well) showed up with a few images for me to print. He needed a few 24×36″ photo floats. I started looking at his images and noted something.  They were all 72dpi.  Uh….how [...]

Toying with masking….again

Friday, May 28, 2010

Yesterday I started thinking about the rest of the Sweet Nasty band members and where I could put them.  The fun edit of Lorin got the fuel going for doing some “edits.”  And this morning in between clients I’ve been playing with options. Now, these are nowhere near done, and they’re not for anything beyond [...]

Insult to injury, or somebody being funny?

Thursday, May 27, 2010

So, to follow up on the prior post, we’ve got a little more. Early this morning a woman popped into the gallery.  We chatted for a while as she wandered around looking at all the artwork we have on display.  She explained that she was waiting on a class at another local business and thought [...]

Photoshop CS5 Upgrade Tragedy….Looks like I’m sticking with what I’ve got

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

Well gang, I’m here to tell you that I’m disappointed right now. I just uninstalled the Photoshop CS5 demo on the computer here at the gallery. And I’m bumming……Disappointed with myself, with Adobe, and with the universe in general right now. What went wrong? Well, today I made the decision to pull the trigger and [...]

The Black Pine Turbo Tent put up with a lot!

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

A nod has to be given to the Turbo Tent that I added to the truck’s inventory last year. I got it on the cheap through Overstock.com when I started planning for workshops figuring it would be convenient for participants. Sure enough, it is. I’d learned about the Turbo Tent last year through Overland Journal.  [...]

There’s sand in my vegenaise

Monday, May 24, 2010

Or, the alternate title….. “No worries….we’ve got a shovel.” Today’s blog post is a story.  It’s the story of Suzukis, sand, sandwiches, & snow.  It’s a White Pocket story, and it has the possibility of a long one.  How long will it go?  That depends on when I wear down and succumb to the sleep [...]
