Isabelle looks

This photo title sounds like a Ben Folds song.

I worked on this photo in Lab mode, as suggested by Deke in DekePod. You get more control, and keep the histogram pure. I'm planning on working in lab mode, so I made F7 an action to switch to lab more and F8 is an action to move back to rgb.

Oh yeah, Isabelle looks great here.

snowman

We brought a truck full of snow down from Mt. Baldy for our kindergartners. It was very cool because it was about 78º outside. Also, most of my students had not touched snow before. We talked about how water changes from ice to water. We built a ramp, sledded down it, and then built this snowman.

custom drink

I think that a third grader with a good writing teacher invented how we order drinks at Starbucks. And the third grader got extra credit for extra adjectives. For example, one of my drinks is an iced venti soy upside down caramel macchiato. That's seven words!

We have a giant pegboard in the teacher's lounge to hang mugs on.

me - rain = happy bill

originally uploaded by billaday.

I know, it's tough to tell... I hate the rain. I am so not a fan of being wet, of my hair staying wet, of my socks staying wet, of having to wear a jacket to stay less wet. I actually can't imagine living somewhere where there is actually inclement weather. It only rains a few days each year, and it's already too much. I want to write a song with the lyrics, "Rain, rain go away. Come again never.".

Tron

Though I haven't seen Tron in years, if ever, this is what I remember it to be like. I don't think we'll ever be robots inside a computer, but I do think that playing that one Tron light game on your phone is fun. You know what I mean.

iron off

I like the texture in this shot. It reminds me of an old t-shirt that's fading.
