                <description><![CDATA[ Fall is here. Life is looking up, inshallah.<br />
<br />
A couple of the recent D.C. shots got picked up at Onexposure.com, and I'm stoked that they're on display there under the Urban category [my whole page can be viewed <a href="http://www.onexposure.net/portfolio.php?search=true&userid=2362&order=added-desc">here</a>, just click the photo to move forward].<br />
<br />
I was thinking today about people, and the myriad various people we come across and forget about so quickly. I wanted to go into great detail here, while I was writing in this very box, but decided I would spare you a giant explosion of text without at least giving you fair warning to escape it. If you're interested in reading, you can view it on my <a href="http://gustheghost.vox.com/library/post/passersby.html">Vox</a>.<br />
<br />
That was a lot of out links. I didn't mean it that way. How are you? No, really?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Work has taken me here and there, lately. Just got done doing an East to West tour of the states. A lot of Atlanta. Not nearly enough San Francisco. Huge fan of Little Five Points in Atlanta. Aching to go back. Too much to drink at the Rub-It-In in Augusta, ended up singing "Friends in Low Places" to a crowd of strangers after eleven beers and a shot of Yukon. Lots of books read on the myriad flights to and fro. Gambling. Oh lord, the casinos out there.<br />
<br />
Anyway, only coherent enough to shoot photos in Atlanta. Enjoy.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I took a season off to rest my head, etc. The weather's been extremely schizo, and I've not had a good opportunity to get out of the house and take nearly as many pictures as I'd like. Next week should be nice, and I plan on hitting the city again, especially now that I've found a few new neighborhoods to stroll around without fear of death, burglary, and the usual fare of city dangers.<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone who kept up viewing all the stuff I've put up, you guys rock!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately I've been keeping this little journal with thoughts that I've had it in. Nothing really fully fleshed out, or anything that particularly deep--just random little quips or anecdotes that don't lead anywhere. I've created a collection of them (<a href="http://veryshallowthoughts.blogspot.com">[link]</a>). Each one is to be paired with some random photo of mine.<br />

I'm not looking forward to work today. It was a fairly eventful weekend, and all I want is to just sleep. Ah well, here's to the next thirteen hours.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've lately been pondering upon the different techniques used to achieve the image we see when we look at a photograph. Earnestly, I've been scouring the vastness of the internet in search for answers to silly questions, mostly digital emulations of classic film techniques. A recent glance over of <a href="http://otherjoseph.deviantart.com/">otherjoseph</a>'s photo gallery has filled me with this sort of curious jealousy--I'd love to learn to edit a photo like him, to really bring out the original image I'd been aiming for. True, while I will admit that most of the time the image has to be conceptualized prior to even clicking the shutter, one should also utilize the "digital darkroom to its fullest."<br />
<br />
Which brings me to now. I'm using a combination of Picasa to "touch up" the initial RAW image, and then using GIMP for the flourishes.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear from anyone about techniques they utilize both pre- and post-camera. Really, I don't care about what format you use (digital, analog) or what software (Paint, Photoshop, GIMP); what I'm looking for is ideas, as that's what truly fuels photography, or art for that matter. And I hope everyone can take something away from this as much as I hope to. Now that I think about it, why stop there? Who's your favorite artist? What makes them so? What is the one thing, in terms of style, anyway, that captivates you? What do you wish you could emulate about that?<br />
<br />
I'm sorry if this is such a rambling entry. I'm just really looking to improving, and I would love to have as much input as possible. I take things a tad overboard, sometimes <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
Furthermore, tomorrow marks the first day of Autumn. There's a corn maze in Gambrills and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch some forty-five minutes west. I plan on frequenting both. Pictures (and new techniques?) to follow shortly.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Fall is almost here. The leaves are already yellowing at the tips and curling slightly, some already fallen and hiding the dew on the grass. There is a smell on the air of early twilight, the summer afternoons already, this third week of September, beginning to darken quite early, while the shoppette hangs up jack o' lantern static clings to their windows and string fake spider webs from the corners of the ceiling.<br />
<br />
I couldn't be happier. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I happened upon a folder on my ill-fated laptop containing many old photographs that I hadn't seen in months; all were in their original colour format, so I added frames and uploaded them. Really, it's a reprieve from all the black and white.<br />
<br />
Life goes on charmingly. ]]></description>
