  • Sick stairs, Alvar Aalto

  • 9to5 (otp300) try 2

    This morning, I ended up waiting a bit to pay my bill at the coffee shop. So I took the opportunity to take a panorama at the counter.  By the way, Publicus serves great espressos.  Eric knows what he’s doing.

  • 9to5 (otp300)

    The assignment this week was 9 to 5.  And while I couldn’t think of anything particularly cool beyond shots of my office, last night I saw was an impressive looking automated delivery tower at the front of the Walmart at Fort Apache and Tropicana.  Its pretty cool, but in an ominous dystopian way also.

    I woke up this morning that what that image needed was a border.

  • bad retouching (otp299)

    Due to the recent meme, the guys decided to throw up a fun counter intuitive assignment.  This Saturday I came across a case of bad retouching by my daughter at a nature walk, which I then tried to make worse with a filter, worse cropping, and even worse manual adjustments.

    I thought I’d have a second shot at the assignment when she started trying to trace my mother in law’s handwriting, but it was just too sweet a moment to mess up gratuitously.

  • Mental Reset Days

    This lifehacker article about Personal Inventory Day makes a bit of sense.  The gist is to take a week every month to reset and make sure things are going in the right direction.

    I’m not sure formalize it this myself, but I do make a point to get an espresso on Friday mornings to square up and make sure things are pointing in the right direction for the last workday of the week and the weekend.  Maybe I should also use it to just assess things in general.
