Neighborhood night life
I never thought I’d enjoy living downtown in a large largish city, but know what? I really really do. Yeah, I hate it when the garbage truck shows up at 5:00 in the morning to empty the dumpster in the alley behind my bedroom. I’m not a big fan of the hipsters that hang out [...]

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 [...]

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. :-) .

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 [...]
ChalkItUp!
Ok, I know I promised balloon pictures, but I figured I should stick to chronological order and get these online first. Hence, balloon pictures shall be online sometime in the next few days. (Incidentally, I have quite the backlog of posts to get to–I would like to actually finish my trip to the car museum [...]

A few neat old odds and ends
Some neat old odds and ends from my visit to the California Auto Museum last Saturday: . . . . According to the docent I talked to, this was the highest-selling Model T ever a few years ago–I think he said it sold for $73,000. Nice. It’s one of only a handful in existence of [...]
1906 Ford Model K Touring Car
Like I mentioned yesterday, over the course of the next few days, I’ll be posting some pictures I took of the classic cars at the California Auto Museum this past Saturday. Normally I’ll mix things up, like I did yesterday, but today I’m sticking with only one car, because someone said that it made his [...]
It’s classic cars week here at HowISeeLife.com!
Today I went to the California Auto Museum downtown for a photography workshop, where I was fortunate to spend several hours there having fun looking at the gorgeous cars and talking to one of the docents. While I don’t really care about a car’s performance (well, except the one I’m driving!) I’m a sucker for [...]
