We took a bunch of pictures in December and early January; here are some of the best.

For the first few days we (the Salmons and the Thompsons) had the horses they were stabled in temporary quarters. They were… well, I’ll be kind and say it was not the Horsie Hilton. But then again, what is?

A happier New Orleans just eight months ago.

Our hotel was at the corner of Bourbon and Canal.

Is that snow? In New Orleans?

Two clowns and a statue.

Thingies.

I don’t know how to identify the rest of these photos. Wendy and Marcia took these photos on a walk around the […]

This is the most complex Premier project I’ve ever attempted. Seven layers. Over a hundred different clips. Alpha blends. Motion blur. Drop shadows. It’s taking hours to render just six minutes of video.

Update, Monday morning: last night I discovered three different mistakes, and Wendy spotted a fourth. Then I didn’t like the size of the […]

Update: I took this photo, cropped it, boosted the contrast to make it spooky, and it’s now a nifty buddy icon for my Flickr account.

One of these days, my daughters will learn: if you take silly photos of yourself - or have a friend take them - delete them from the camera after you’ve had your laughs! If you don’t, Dad will publish the photos on his weblog.

Oh, the humanity!

The sun set over the Pacific Ocean as an evening fog rolled in. Taken from a San Francisco-area seaside hill with my trusty old Pentax K1000 about sixteen years ago.

That was my first trip to California, in June of 1988 or 1989. I went with Andy Mager to attend Xhibition - a conference for X […]

The last couple of nights we’ve noticed bats flying around the house in the late twilight and early evening. At first it appeared to be just one bat, flying circles around the house, but later I saw two of them at once. These two spent about half an hour circling the house, not cruising but […]

Wendy and Summer went to the Houston Highland Games up in town today. They took Hubble and Major with them; they handed out brochures at the Houston Sheltie Sanctuary table and visited with the other Sheltie and Collie rescue volunteers.
