dragonlady7Back to work today, but at least the store doesn't open until noon so I have a few hours to psych myself up to the concept this morning. Oh, if I want coffee I'd better make it now, though. Boo.
Getting photos uploaded as we speak-- the first batch from the Olympus (from last week) went up last week, and the only thing I did yesterday was pull the second batch, both weeks' worth of photos from the digital SLR, off that camera, and edit them somewhat. So those are going up now onto Flickr, and will get captioned and organized today probably. Then the second batch from the Olympus will probably happen at work today-- maybe, anyway-- and the last batch will be on a roll of film I have to a) find, b) develop, and c) export to a disk so I have them digitized.
Z has a hilarious mini-recap of the events of War up on his e:strip blog. My only quibble is that i believe it was actually, phonetically, the "Old Grand-Dad-i-Tini", and he's left out a syllable. But that's all right. We were pretty drunk.
I actually wasn't all that drunk. I repeatedly got very shrill and silly, but never actually reached a stage of inebriation where the symptoms couldn't be chalked up to overtiredness or overexcitedness. Which was perfect, really-- one does not actually wish to confront those port-a-potties in the morning whilst in an actual state of hangover. Bleah!
I have had to edit a lot of the photos from the SLR because I had the ISO set too high. For the layman, what that means is that the photos look really grainy, with little flecks of color in areas that should be solid. It's most pronounced in half-lit situations with skin tones, which is why so many of the photos of people are black and white-- the grain is not distracting in monochrome, but is hideous in full color.
I set the night shots to sepia because they were monochromatic red anyway-- that's all the camera could pick up. Sepia looks less like a cheap horror movie-- black and white lost too much of the atmosphere. I swear I'm not just being an artsy wanker.
Anyway-- photos are going up here, and will be sorted and labeled; I will eventually, I hope, make a coherent journal-type post to go along with them, so don't feel obligated to look at them right yet.
