Correction and gorgeous photos

So it turns out that many of the photographs in that Smashing article in my last post aren’t actual tilt shift, they’re digital imitations.  This includes the one by roevin that I featured.  Still very neat photos, though.  And in investigating my friends Mark and Joel’s allegations (see, Joel, you actually are in this note) I discovered more of roevin’s beautiful photographs.  Check them out here.

If you want to see more of roevin’s fake tilt shift, go here.  They’re quite impressive.

I don’t know why you would want to make reality look like a toy, but it’s a really cool trick.  Thanks to T Clair for the link to this article: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/16/beautiful-examples-of-tilt-shift-photography/. My favorite photo is this one by roevin.

Fun with ice

The ice cubes in our freezer had melted and refrozen into one giant block.  I enjoyed melting it creatively with hot water.

What I will be doing in twelve days…

Sans the attic, Tyler and David… 😦 But avec Graeme, Ashlee, Riley, Jacquie, Jordon and Aaron. Hopefully Aaron. I’m not sure whether R2D2 will be there.

“Bagshot Row is an artistic community which seeks to apply the values and lessons of true, good, and beautiful art to both the spiritual and practical elements of life. Originating in Dubuque, IA and founded by Graeme Pitman, David Kern, Tyler Smith, Justin Phelan, and Riley Miller, Bagshot Row is a mixture of faith, literature, word (both in essay/blog/musing and poetry), photography, prayer, design, music all bound up in the belief that our very lives can be worship. We meet infrequently on Thursday nights at 9pm to discuss things we have written or read or sometimes just to hang out in an attic.”
