Picture of the week

This time I'm cheating just a little bit and picking 4 pictures for this week. Since seeing a "tilt shift" photography exhibit at the memorial union I've been mildly curious about the art form.

Tilt shift photography uses a special lens to make it look like the pictures you've taken are of miniature models. But recently I ran across a website that produces the same effect from regular pictures.

I tried a few, I think they turned out okay. It's something I'm sure I'll play around with more in the future. I think that the picture you start with goes a long way towards deciding how good the end result will be.

Haiku of the week

Had to get up early for work, so he tried to go to bed early. But his brain was not cooperating. So he drank a little beer, took an herbal sleep aid, and then took an over the counter sleep aid as well. He fell asleep reading Shriek: An Afterward. Though he is not proud, he does not apologize for the Haiku of the day.

And the canning continues...
This week was cranberries.

Haiku Thursday

Haiku Thursday (or in a pinch I reserve the right to substitute a kanji of the day)

sun washed pavement - clean and cold
seeds float on Fall's breath
