I did a mini self-shot photo shoot today. I'll upload the rest of the photos for comment and fun. I really just needed something for LinkedIn that had a tie. At this point in the shoot we're in the backyard, after I think I have the real image in the bag.

You can see my Soloflex in the left side of the shot, set up for pull ups, and bookshelves too tall to fit into the office on the right. My office is the building. Here is a link to the Picasa album. Here is a link to my Flikr photstream.

Back to work

After the weekend alone, it is great to get back to the normal routine here. Plus, I have creative work to do, so that makes for extra ordinary fun. And anxiety.

Powerpoint this week. Last week was Word. Now I'm going to take my other work and transcribe into a master layout.

Next comes brainstorming for the rest of the pages, while filling in on what I have already imagined.

My client has a strong social message and component to their business, which makes for some great images, at least in my head so far. We shall see. Powerpoint Ho!

Leaves Changing Color

As I walked to the garage to hunt for some boxed items, I was struck by the light on the tree across the street. We don't get too many leaves changing color in the hot Southern California Autumn, so I cherish those I see. I'm happy they are not near enough to my yard that I am capable of cherishing them too ;-)

I'm still getting the hang of linking and posting etc, so I beg forgiveness in advance. Advice welcome.

Here is a the URL of my shots of the front yard, including a panoramic series!

Picture post technical fixings

OK, so it is tough to see the fishnet, but it is there. Note also the black leggings. And the shoes! The horror.

OK, I'm sorry.

Lady, I'm sorry.

Excuse me

This lady walked into the bank ahead of me, stopped abruptly, then when I walked by her, huffed and huffed to try and get past me. Then she huffed some more on line behind me.

When we both first reached the front of the line, there was no one ahead of me, but the first available teller asked us to wait. Immediately after that the other teller called me up, so I moved along.

After I got up to the window, I noticed the woman come chugging up around the other side of the barrier...she actually got out of line to look for someone else, before finally going around to the window to plaintively whine to the first teller, are you open yet?

Lastly, sigh, I first noticed this woman because of the fishnet top. OMFG.

Picture added, pullup achievements

Jesum Crow, that profile picture I made for Twitter is ragged. But I don't feel like making another. So there it is. In other news, I am up to 1 pull up.

Woohoo.!

That's at a time. I can do a few a day.

But the difference between 0 and 1 is HUGE when dealing in pullups.

For that matter, I'm at 0.90 of a pullup, really. I can get my eyes and nose above the bar, but not my chin. I guess I'm not talking about chinups, but I'm pretty sure I've got some more to go before I really hit 1. By that time I'll be at 5!

Back to blogging

I need someplace to write down things that may only interest me, but that I insist on inflicting upon the world. I have a few blogging options. Maybe Blogger is the right one. We shall see.
