In response to SF Girl's tag, I've compiled a brief yet enlightening list of seven things that are weird and/or interesting about me. Here we go: SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: "Seven Things ", url: "http://mygpscameraphone.com/2008/01/27/s even-things" } );

Deep Blue
2008-01-22 20:55:00
This was a fun exercise in Photoshop filter application. Many times, filters are overdone and abused, causing the image to look worse than it did originally. However, when applied in moderation, they can produce interesting results. The image here was shot with my camera phone, as usual, and then edited in Photoshop CS. After a bit ...

Linotype for a Line-O-Type
2008-01-13 04:58:00
In the atrium of Weimer Hall on the University of Florida campus sits a dusty relic whose purpose has been overtaken by today’s modern printing methods. No, it’s not Walter Cronkite. It’s a machine called a Linotype . The Linotype was not a printing press, but the machine used to create type bars that created the monolithic plates ...

Shadow Girl

Nancy and I received a late Christmas gift to ourselves on Tuesday - cell phone data transfer software! I know, how exciting! This is a big deal because our phones do not have removable memory or Bluetooth. (For what it’s worth, they will survive submersion for up to 20 minutes and are indestructible.) What this means ...

Two Great Ways to Start Off the New Year
2008-01-08 16:57:00
It’s not even halfway through January and I’m lucky enough to be recognized by two fellow bloggers, Susanne and Shiera. A few days ago, Susanne recognized me, along with three others, as one of her inspirations in 2007, which is pretty amazing, considering some of the photos she has taken. She’s picking up and moving a ...

Make a Bad Photo Good in Three Steps
2008-01-06 09:29:00
Every so often, that award-winning photo you had envisioned turns out to be a waste bin liner. You thought the frame captured what your mind saw, but apparently not. Other factors like equipment and lighting may cause problems with the final product as well, but this shouldn't leave you discouraged. There is a way.

In his article, “Interesting Uses of Camera Mobile Phone s,” Amit lists some pretty good ideas to make use of an otherwise less-than-perfect camera. His ideas include remembering where ...

Escape from Workatraz
2008-01-03 22:52:00
The fence outside my work zone keeps us caged like animals, running the length of the parking lot and then some. Three rows of barbed-wire top it off, making escape difficult at best. Paid security personnel monitor our every move via security cameras and mobile guards. Resistance is futile. We are given one meal time per ...

Bad Hair Day

I could have started the new year like Dan and blogged about ground round, but I opted for a less meaty approach - bad hair days. This camera phone photo was captured at my favorite overlook at Paynes Prairie, a place right alongside a 4-lane highway. It’s an easy trip to get “out of town” within ...

Blooming Sour Grass
2007-12-31 04:12:00
Back in October, I posted a photo of my lawn, or lack thereof. It was a black-and-white photo of what I now know to be called sour grass (thanks to Debo Hobo), but it wasn’t anything spectacular to look at. While I’ve seen it bloom before, I haven’t seen it look so robust and hearty. The ...
