Cops...



My doctor told me that since I'm retired, I should make an effort to keep busy, and keep my mind active, but most of all, I should have a good time.


So the other day I went downtown to run a few errands and buy my wife some jewelry. I went into the local Jewelry store. I was only there for about 5 minutes. When I came out, there was this cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break?'



He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.


His insensitivity annoyed me, so I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and then wrote out another ticket for having worn tires. So I proceeded to call him 'doughnut eating Gestapo'. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he wrote a third ticket when I called him a Moron in Blue. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I talked back to him the more tickets he wrote.



Personally, I didn't really care. I came downtown on the bus.

Bubble Wrap

I was painting my retaining walls today, and they just so happened to come in bubble wrap.

Cameras and Bubble Wrap are my 2 favorite things (ok maybe not) but what happens when you get the two together in the same room. Well this happens.

Waterfall Editing


(Click for larger image)


I did a bit of editing in photoshop and Picnik. The left is before, the right is after editing.

While the water looks a bit better, adding green also makes the moss brighter, and the red makes leaves and other orange/red objects brighter. So here you get a more smooth, cooling effect, and it makes it look better overall.

Photo Editing

Jack Taylor's Hibernia

I was recently approached by a friend wondering if I could do some photo editing for him. So on we go and he sends me this large file with a high quality photo of his RC vessel "Hibernia".

From the start the photo had a few problems, and still does professionally. The back lighting was pretty bad and the whole photo was foggy. So I opened up photoshop, edited the Levels, and Histogram, and took out that distracting chimney.

He liked how it looked after and I sent it back. It brings out the true colors in Hibernia.

Lost Images, New Post

So anyway. The past blog posts could not be restored by blogger/google employees. Therefore all the pasts posts were lost except Jan 1-10 because those posts will still in cache.

So for now I will continue posting photo's but they may not be everyday, therefor the blog title and URL will be changing shortly and it will no longer by 1 photo a day, 365 days a year. I really don't have the time to take that many photos that are different enough to post a new one every day. No photos will ever repeat themselves, on purpose. Although I may accidentally post one that has already been posted but had been lost.


So for today I will post this. This is a boxcar at the Northwest Railway Museum.
