IÂ showed prints from my 365 Sketches project in the east gallery of the Mercer County Library Headquarters in Lawrence Township, NJ. The show was up for the entire month of February, 2011, and the opening reception was from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday February 6th, 2011. Â During the reception, I gave an overview and talk that explained the history and processes of the project.

37 of 365 is a common phrase #GIMP
I have a friend who has started saying this to me after every other sentence just because it makes me laugh to hear it. I thought it might be nice for my friend to see how I visualize it when they say it.

35 of 365 is an improved photo #GIMP
So I had a snapshot that I thought captured my smile nicely, but had some other issues worth fixing. I opened the original in the GIMP, Removed some wayward beard with the smudge tool, tightened focus with the sharpen tool in a few places, removed background noise with the blur tool, brightened and added depth to the photo using the brightness/contrast feature, made the image grayscale using desaturate, and added a color overtone with the colorize feature. I think more than anything, I just wanted to make up for yesterday’s monster.

Yes, when you use the clone tool to put your eye where your mouth was, and your mouth where your eyes were, you would call it a mixed facial orifice self-portrait. Wouldn’t you? This is a reminder that I am always looking for suggestions of photos and ideas in need of execution. When I don’t have them, I do freaky stuff like this. Apologies!

My very good friend Tim McGee asked me to bring balance to a photo of his dog, Maisy. I said I’d be happy to. Today, here’s a screencast of what I did to improve the photo in a few ways. Thanks for the opportunity, Tim!

32 of 365 is a massive panda #GIMP
So this is for Shaun Holland, who sometimes says Sad Panda to comment on a sad situation or person with just a touch of schadenfreude. Shaun makes me laugh all day long. This panda is not sad though, he’s just massive.
