A couple of things of note:
1.) I actually wrote this post last week, but it broke my website, so I took it down.
Well, it didn’t really break my website, but it broke the HTML, and everything was displaying all wonky. So I spent two hours beating my head against the wall and getting nowhere before finally giving up and writing the darn thing in Windows Notepad. Yaaay 1993. :-p
2.) While I’m writing this post on Thursday evening, you’ll actually be reading it Friday evening or later (I have it queued to autopost on Friday evening), when I’ll be on my first of the four legs of my trip to Rome! Whoohooo!! I’m taking my laptop, so I do plan to post at least a few pictures while I’m there. I’m going with two of my most favorite non-family-members ever — John and Joel! So if you see two weird guys in my picture, John’s the dark-haired one and Joel’s the towhead. And since I have two companions on this trip, maybe I’ll even get myself in a picture or two. :-)
Anyway, these pictures are from a fairly short photo shoot I did of a coworker’s granddaughter this past May — I’m still working on getting my backlog of pictures from last spring and summer onto this website.
As a sort of experiment, I’m going to post large versions of a few shots I like, and underneath next to somewhere near them I’ll post clickable thumbnails of the same picture edited a couple of different ways with regards to color. I’m kind of partial to the low-saturation and black+whites shots myself (the low-sat ones have kind of an antique look that I really like), but it seems like other people I’ve shown them to prefer the more saturated ones. But this is why I solicit opinions — it’s nice to get a feel for what other people like. :-)
As always, click for larger versions. :-)
