After shooting and editing 350 pictures, I finally have some family portraits to share with Michelle and Danny. View On Black

Workflow wise, I used Lightroom for the first time. I like how I could take my Photoshop knowledge and apply it to Lightroom. Good times, good product. Easy smart filter. Now I just need to see how well it manages files and projects.

I've noticed that after 2 1/2 years of photo-a-day, not as many things "catch my eye." And yes, I'm using quotes on that. When I first started the photo-a-day project, I had my camera always with me, and I found many, many shots that I had to take. Things don't grab me like they used to. I guess I'm pickier regarding my subject matter.

So... this shot. This scene actually caught my eye. I thought to myself, "I need to stop and take this picture." So I did.

I like the angles, color, texture, and contrast. Not sure about the composition. Is it too busy?

This sculpture caught my eye last week. I brought my f1.4 lens to work, and snapped some shots.

Dedicated to Zel. Not only is this photo Zel-ish, but he left a comment last year asking me why I took so long to photograph a building that caught my eye. Mostly because of that comment/encouragement, I photographed this shot without procrastinating.

I really enjoy teaching at APU. As though it's not the coolest thing ever to help people become better teachers, I get to back on a college campus. There's so much learning, interesting people, flyers, and architecture around. This photo falls under that last category.

Netbook

Pat the Sound Guy built his own Netbook, and installed Mac OS X on it. Dude! Super awesome, super tiny. And, under $400. Wow. I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and I'm totally envious of this. His explanation:

"This is the kinda thing you could take for a bike ride."
