Some voices I could recognize anywhere
Totally randomly I ended up with a free ticket tonight to see Arlo Guthrie in concert at UC Davis. I grew up with both of my parents playing tapes (and then CDs, and now mp3s) of his music, and I’ve a huge soft spot in my music heart for him, but for some reason it [...]
Fun with filters, again
When I take pictures with my cameraphone, I generally open them up in PicSayPro, an image-editing app for Android phones (I have the Motorola Droid) and do a bit of adjusting, mostly for temperature/white balance and tint (my phone tends to take pictures a bit on the bluish/greenish side.) Given the fact that (a) it’s [...]
Scenes from a run
I finally decided a couple of weeks ago to get off my lazy behind and start running again. It’s been far too long, and I really don’t have an excuse not to. And I can’t wuss out after a week, since Darryl goaded me into doing the Race for the Cure on May 8th. I [...]
Milo the Screech Owl
Milo the Screech Owl, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. This little cutie is Milo, a Western Screech Owl and a resident at the Discovery Museum of Sacramento. John’s nephews (ages 9 and 11) spent the night last night, and since it was pouring rain today and we didn’t want to do anything outside, we took them [...]
Full moon over a Midtown mural
Full moon over a Midtown mural, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I’m actually using this as a test post–I’ve got someone helping me fix a couple of broken things on my website, so this is to see if that works or not. Carry on, not much to see here. :-) .
Bookshelf at Borders
Books on the shelf at Borders. I read in a photography book that you’re always ten meters from ten good pics. I found one. :-), originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I went to browse the photography books, and in one of them I read that you’re always ten meters from ten good pics. So I started [...]
Oil drops on wet pavement
Cool pictures of mundane things: oil drops on the parking lot at my bank, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I stopped at the bank today and saw this and had to stop in the middle of the parking lot to take the picture. I think the people walking by thought I was a bit odd… Oh [...]
Fun with my cameraphone and in-phone processing
I know I’ve been totally MIA lately with regards to this blog. I’ve been working on a HUGE report project for work, and I’ve routinely been putting in 14+ hour days. Yes, I’m getting paid extra for this–it’s going in my trip fund for this summer. And it’s an interesting project–frustrating, but challenging. I thought [...]
The best camera is the one you have with you
Leaves: A hundred thousand reasons why I love fall. :-), originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I snapped this picture of a tree outside of my work this morning with my cameraphone. I wanted to just stand there and stare at the tree, to watch the morning light play over it. Instead, I had to content myself [...]
