I’m finding it really hard to focus right now…

Posted on December 9, 2009

There’s too much that needs to get done, and I can’t seem to concentrate today.

Apparently Saturday was a big day here on the blog… I got 117 visitors! that’s an all-time high here. haha! I hope you all found what you were searching for. Don’t know where you all came from, but hello! And I’m sorry it’s usually dreadfully boring around here. I feel now I should update more often. I know I say/write that a lot, but really I will try.

I got an early Christmas present. A Quantaray 18-50mm f3.5 wide angle lens. I read a few reviews online that weren’t too favorable, but for thirty dollars I figured it was worth a shot. Found it here.

Here’s what I’ve taken with the lens. Nothing spectacular… just a couple test shots.

Wordle…

Posted on December 6, 2009

Wordle is a neat site that makes “word clouds” from text, websites, twitter feeds, or pretty much anythng you give it… Words you use more appear larger, and you can tweak the fonts and colors to make it look how you want.

I Wordled my blog to see what came up… here’s what I’ve been talking bout lately.

I think is funny that the word Divorce is HUGE from the mention of that invitation a few posts back.

More projects!

Posted on December 2, 2009

Finally got around to posting the last few projects I’ve been working on!

Took me long enough… I know.

Project 3 – CD Jacket Design:

With this project, I ended up creating my own imaginary artist. I started with an image I had taken over the summer, added a texture to it, and as it started to take on a fresco sort of look to it, decided to make it an Italian CD… lol. The image of the guitarist is the wonderful Brigitte Dale, a writer and video blogger who graciously let me use her image in this project.

Brigitte is currently in the finals to become the next Sam-e Good Mood Blogger, so help her win this awesome gig by voting for her here: http://www.sam-e.com/job/profile/213

Project 4 – Menu Design:

For this project, we had to use style sheets. I decided to go with a coffee shop theme. Though the shop doesn’t actually exist, there are other eateries in the downtown Port Jefferson area that have the double name, (Salsa Salsa, Pasta Pasta) that gave me the idea for the name of my shop.
