- They didn’t seem to mind me photographing them at all – though my bobbing and weaving may have confused them. After all, they’d never met one like me before…

  - Oh – and I was going to comment – about the 600… It started out as a project learning Photoshop. I had taken a couple of short courses, but didn’t seem to be getting the hang of it, so I started a project doing one photo a day, learning a new photoshop skill each day, or doing tutorials. I look at some of the early ones and they were pretty bad, but they really evolved and became an interesting diary of sorts because there was a story or poem with almost all of them.
    And they did improved my photoshop skills – and my photography because I was analysing my photos so closely… And somewhere along the line, I began doing less and less Photoshop and focussed on the photography… But there is always a story…

- Free Photoshop! Seriously, if you don’t mind using CS2, Photoshop is no longer going to support the product so they are giving it away, including the serial numbers for all the create suite products including Photoshop and Illustrator. http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html
  I downloaded it and have been using Photoshop CS2 since yesterday and it has all the tools I usually use – layers, masking, blending, brushes which work exactly the same way more current versions do. It’s missing some of the high-end bells and whistles that I don’t normally use anyway. Definitely worth getting if you have been wanting to get Photoshop but not shelling out over a thousand dollars for it.

  - Actually, I shelled out for the whole Adobe Creative Suite back in 2007. I don’t regret it, and I paid the educator’s price, but it’s ps3

  - Well then – you remain sorted for the next while… Until you are doing 3D web design, you won’t be missing much of the new stuff…

  - I don’t see that happening in the foreseeable future.

It’s still 2013

I'm part of Post A Day 2013

Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.

But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.

Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.

Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

These days it's all about the Photopo, but I also write fiction. You can find some of my short stories here.

Photopo

One photo every day (well, almost every day) taken to a different dimension, funny, poignant, sad, hopefully clever... Observations about living in this world and pondering the possibilities of others. To view the archive, click here.

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
