I’ve had a lot of fun making these images of Thrift Store Santas. Here are the last of them for this year. Merry Christmas!
I had the opportunity to travel to Salt Lake City last week to attend some business meetings. I actually travelled without taking my Nikon DSLR with me for the first time since May, 2011. It felt a bit weird, but I had my iPhone 14 Pro Max with me and […]
I’m sure that the Thrift Stores I have been visiting would rather that I actually buy the Santa Claus figurines that I have been photographing for this fun little project, but alas, that is not to be. What would I do with them once I purchased them? I would probably […]
As some of you know, I like to visit Thrift Stores. I have been able to find some very interesting things and some very interesting and useful things! For example, I found a slotted spoon for placing eggs in boiling water and a thing for doing something, but I don’t […]
I’ve been having fun lately “watercolorizing” photos of cars using the Aquarelleum photoshop plugin by Profactions
I have a habit of spending time at thrift stores. One of my favorite thrift stores to go to is Savers, and while I was in Las Vegas, I went to the Savers there. On one of my visits to a Las Vegas Savers, I saw this model sailboat. I […]
Lisa and I spent three months in Las Vegas so that we could spend some time with our son, Skyler and his family. While we were there, I played around some more with ON1 Photo Raw, Photoshop and the Aquarelleum Photoshop plugin by Profactions. Here are a few of the […]
Here are some of my photos of animals that I have recently revisited in Photoshop using the Aquarelleum plugin by Profactions.
At one point in the “The Beatles: Get Back” documentary, John Lennon says, “And now, your host for this evening, the Bottles.” I collect blue glass bottles, along with a few bottles of other colors, too, and just couldn’t resist making this image with four of the bottles in my […]
I use the On1 Photo Raw application on my macbook to develop the digital photos I take. I typically leave the photos alone after developing them with On1 Photo Raw, but I was introduced to a Photoshop plugin called Aquarelleum that was developed by Profactions. I purchased a copy of […]
The phrase “Be Useful” strikes me as being at the heart of what it means to live happily on this earth. It is actually a truncation of the phrase, “learn to be useful.” As we grow up we have to learn how to be useful, since as babies, we’re incapable […]
Ever since the beginning of the pandemic when I started working from home, I haven’t taken as many photos as I was pre-pandemic. Commuting to and from work each day prior to the pandemic gave me many opportunities to see lots of interesting things and sights to photograph. Staying at […]
I started a pin collection several years ago because, well, why not? Lisa had given me a pin when we were first dating, and I eventually got the idea to add other pins. The pin Lisa gave me is the “I’m Sweet” pin, because apparently she thinks that I am […]
On Monday, October 8, 2012, I drove from Salt Lake City, Utah to LeRoy and Piedmont, Wyoming. I traveled along Interstate 80, past Evanston, WY to exit 24. LeRoy is north of the Interstate and Piedmont is south of it. I have fond memories as a child of camping with […]
