Day 133 - Natures Comeback #2

Well as promised I posted two pictures today due to the lack of actual photoness in the previous day. Today's photo is one I took while walking around with the camera. Faucets in general are interesting, really anything mechanical, but the fact that the grass had gone right through it made it even better.

I was also informed that one of my photographs has been selected to be published within Bayousphere at UHCL! The photograph that has been selected is my "Untitled" photograph that I entered into the AIDS Awareness Day art contest and it should be printed this fall. I will be sure to keep you updated on that.

Day 132 - Design with Text

Before you say anything, there is a photo within this design. So it might be very subtle, but it is there, trust me.

Today's tutorial used:
www.1stwebdesigner.com/tutorials/learn-how-to-create-grea...

I have also decided that it is weird not using an actual picture for my 365, so I might take an extra one tomorrow to make up for today. Using a manipulated photo just doesn't seem right.

Day 131 - Mustang Baseball Poster

While this is not necessarily a photo that I took today, I did finish editing it today. I decided that I want to go back and work on my photo manipulation/photoshop skills. This is the first of the series I am going to try to do for the next week. Give me some feedback one what you think of the whole concept and what you like/don't like. The more feedback I get the more I will know what I did right or wrong.

Day 123 - Kickin' It Old School / 100th Post!!!

Ok, so for my 100th post, I thought I would take you back in time. Way back to when I did not own a camera and all of my "art" was done in class on the tax payers dime. I know it is not the most original or most creative idea, but I did not even know that this was going to be my 100th post in this blog. I do think it is time for a facelift on this old thing. It is over a year old as of a month ago... anyhow onto today's photo!

For today's photo is more of a picture of art, but its my art. I recently saw a friend put up some of their old art work online and it made me want to go back to some of my older art.

So here it is, Pipes by Greg Griffith 2000. Pastel on Black Construction Paper.

Did you like what I did there, it was like it's a true piece of fine art. I hope you enjoy!

Day 122 - Butler Park

Sorry for the long delay on posting pictures, but I had a few technical difficulties while in Austin this last weekend. Yes, I was still taking pictures, but I had forgot to bring my transfer cord so I could upload them to the laptop. Just one of those lessons you only need to learn once.

Anyway, like always in Austin, we went on a walk throughout the city and happened to stumble upon a small 9 hole golf course known as, Butler Park Pitch and Putt. All holes, but one, are no longer than 100 yards and you only need to bring 2-3 clubs and your putter with you. It seems like a perfect way to practice one's short game when you don't want to pay the big bucks for a fancy golf course. Also throughout this walk I was using my new Holga camera and those pictures should be in within the week. Hopefully they turn out well.

Day 121 - Herbs & Spices

On Saturday, Catherine cooked up some awesome fish taco's for us to eat after we finished watching the derby. Sadly my horse was not the victor, but the taco's made the night.

Day 120

Not much on ideas for this Friday, but when I drive into Austin it is usually hard for me to find something to photograph right away. Today I just had Catherine write on her chalk board just to give some appearance that I attempted something for day 120
