I recently discovered Personas for Firefox

By

In Personal, Photography

I recently discovered how Personas can dress up a Firefox web browsers. I use both Firefox and Safari.

I won’t point you to their main page, because as do so many things today, it suffers badly from the low-cut-top epidemic. This is the scenery theme page. If you’re in Firefox, just put your mouse over the different personas and see how they colorize your browser.

Bora Bora Island – Tahiti is my current favorite, having looked at only a few of the 137 pages of scenery personas. It’s giving me the feel I’m looking for. It has a calm, warm stripe on top that complements the blues and aquas of the image itself.

It’s amazing how colors affect mood, which is one of the main reasons I so greatly like photography, how glorious images can inspire people’s hearts, 24/7.

Cheers!

“Magnificent Seven Theme” (((Stereo))) — Let’s Ride Together In Love Against Witchcraft, MAGNIFICENTLY — Until ‘ONE’ Happens!

I’ve always loved this song: OVERCOME no matter what!! TOGETHER, we can do it — no matter what happens! They can’t take our soul if we stay together in the LIGHT, fighting darkness!

I saw the movie for maybe the first time a few days ago, as it came out just 3 years after I was born. Seven guys get together to free the poor farmers from the oppressors!

Alone, they couldn’t have done it, but together…!!!!!!!

Awesome! We need to ride again, this time without guns, standing up for what’s right, against the dark side — bringing in the LIGHT!

It’s not too late. ONE can happen, today!

Fight the GOOD fight!

To Be Free : )

TURN IT UP!

Lets Ride

TOGETHER!

In Costco: get it while you can

after this shocker,
where I describe the product also:

A Tire Runs Over It

John and I were painting the floor
(new yellow over old yeller),
when I noticed that the paint that dripped from John’s roller
left an interesting design.

The dark marks on the left look like it was made by a tire,
so the title is a play on words on: A River Runs Through It.

In Costco: get it while you can, Personal

UPDATE:

Back on the shelves at Costco:
Borden’s non-radiated, non-rbGH, GREAT tasting milk!

.

I’ve been a Costco fan for years: great products; great prices;  and known for treating their staff well. Costco’s CEO, Jim Sinegal, even endorses one of my favorite books of all time, Wooden on Leadership.

He states on the back cover:

“Wooden On Leadership offers valuable lessons no matter what your endeavor. ‘Competitive Greatness’ is our goal and that of any successful organization. Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success is where it all starts.”

–Jim Sinegal, president & CEO, Costco

I’ve often found incredible products that I thought would be worth sharing on my blog, so others can get it while they can. Because so often Costco finds a cheaper deal (or something), and we’ll never see these products again. So “get it while you can.”

And if you say an asterisk [*] on the lot’s price label, this means that this pallet will be Costco’s last.

Well, I just now discovered that the cartons of milk we recently purchased looked like (almost identical packaging) the excellent, Borden shelf-stable milk, which isn’t radiated and contains no artificial hormones. But this product is totally different.

It’s made by Real Fresh. It’s Ultra-Pasteurized (nuclear radiated) and is not artificial hormone free. And the proof is that it tastes nasty — while Borden’s non-radiated, non-rbGH milk had a rich, wholesome taste.

What a disappointment! We’re taking the case back. Nutrition should be more important than saving a few pennies (or even dollars).

So I’m launching this first Costco post. Probably many more will come, mainly consisting of products that Costco does have.

And I know I’m starting out on a somewhat negative foot here. But Costco tries to find the balance between price and what people want. And if more people demand wholesome, unadulterated products Costco will carry more of them — just as they have this great Borden milk for these many great “Uhm, uhm good!” months. This milk was truly amazing!

Cheers from Alaska!

Hello!

Rich asked me how I’m doing, so I thought I’d just write an update to everyone.

We’ve been busy moving at work. Thankfully, it’s almost done. We painted parts of our original, now remodeled cargo building, today.

I did take some photos during the move, including the eagles (one is sitting on the nest), but I haven’t had a chance yet to work on them and get them online.

The Most Beautiful Fine Art Gallery in the World? | Camera Sensor Size Comparison

By

On April 16, 2010

In Personal, Photography

This may be the most beautiful fine art gallery in the world … those mighty, 600 year old, cedar tree trunks!!! And I can only imagine the cedar wood smell — ummm!

Up, right now on Rodney Lough Jr.’s home page are photos of his new 2,500 square foot gallery in Las Vegas. And if you click on the Press Center tab, you’ll see an overview with the photos.

I spent many hours at Rodney’s tiny Sausalito gallery and his giant, 5,000 square foot Pier 39 gallery last May, where I saw what may be my favorite photo of all time. It looks great online, but the 24 x 40 inch print, seen in person, lit by halogens — magnificent!!! This Outdoor Photographer article pdf file also highlights this photo — large image!

And Rodney achieves the finest detail possible, because he shoots exclusively an 8 x 10 camera which actually uses 8 x 10 inch film! In comparison (Wikipedia has a great chart), most pro photographers shoot SLRs that have an APS sensor that is about 0.9 x 0.6 inches. And the largest sensors in the pocket cameras are 0.3 x 0.2 inches, which is what my G11 uses.

My 5D MkII has a 35mm size sensor that measures 1.4 x .95 inches. And Elizabeth Carmel shoots a Hasselblad that has a medium format sensor measuring about 2 x 1.5 inches.

Her up to 60-inch prints are also stunning. I also visited her gallery in Truckee, CA, last year.

It is wonderful to see, firsthand, what can be done with an 8 x 10. But in my opinion, it’s really overkill (and so limiting to shoot with), unless one would print really, really, REALLY big, which he can definitely do.

His galleries are worth checking out. He has one at the Mall of America too.

12/30/09

I have only a few photos left to post;
though, the red wall is still intact
(as far as I know).
It may get some more action.

I still need to shoot Miguel, at least.

And we still have the move to the old freight building.

We’ll see.
