Week 25 Jun 18 – Jun 24

A couple of additional steps, but same general treatment.

Week 24 Jun 11 – Jun 17

1. Dude. Don’t bother to signal. Nobody’s paying attention, and they don’t care where you’re going anyway.
2. Yield? Your vehicle will totally fit in that space.
3. Under no circumstances should you let other cars merge. Anyplace you are is way more important than where they need to go.
4. Following distance is for chumps. Tailgating saves gas and makes more space on the road.
5. Red lights are only a suggestion that you stop – not an iron clad rule. Besides, anyplace you are going is way more important than anyplace those other cars are going.
6. Sometimes you’re tired. You’re weak. You don’t want to fight your way into that line of traffic to merge onto the extra ramp. Stay strong. It’s your duty to pass everyone who’s been waiting and force your vehicle in at the front of the line. There’s always someone weaker than you up at the front.
7. Any lane is a passing lane. Pass on the left. Pass on the right. Pass like you mean it.
8. Roll down the windows. Turn on the AC. And turn up the tunes. Everyone loves your music.
9. The passing lane is your birthright. Intimidate the other cars until they get out of your way.
10. It’s a race. You’re a superstar. Drive like it.

Photo I took of my friends this evening. Tom, the idea to use the hammock? Dynamite!

Week 23 Jun 4 – Jun 10

I did some extra processing of the original photo. I blame Megan Sommerville.

Niece Ivy. Another edit using a new technique for selective coloring I saw demonstrated yesterday at Precision Camera’s photo expo.

This is the second version of the photo.

1. She won’t know a time when only white men could be elected President
2. She won’t know what a modem is – let alone why you would use it to connect to the internet
3. She won’t know that it’s OK to drink out of a garden hose
4. She won’t know that you have to go to the library to do research
5. She won’t know that you have to wait to have your photos developed before you can see them
6. She won’t know that there was a time when you couldn’t but a computer on your lap
7. She won’t know that you can change your own oil
8. She won’t know that you can’t use electricity to power a car
9. She won’t know the comforting clickey clack of a typerwriter
10. She won’t know that Beta Max is better than VHS, vinyl sounds warmer than CDs or that film is superior to digital
