It's time for some FOOTBALL!!

It's been a long time since the last post, but the other day I went out to my brothers football scrimmage. This gave me a good chance to test out my daylight sports photography skills. I went ahead and posted a few of the pictures that I seemed to like the most, its hard to narrow it down from over 600 photo's.

Earlier last week I was hoping to grab Canons 100mm 2.8 macro, but as of today it is back to being out of stock. It seems to be a pretty hard to get lens. Next time I will be sure to grab it as soon as I find it.

Onto the photos!

Images from months past...

Well, a few things that I have almost forgotten about until now. Up first was for a movie poster project for one of my classes last semester. We were told to create three original movie posters and this was considered to be my "funny" poster of the bunch. I think it pretty much explains itself...



Following, is another poster design I presented to the Siggraph Conference, in their annual poster contest. This one has been in hiding mostly because I was waiting to hear back from the Siggraph judges. Sadly, I was not successful in making it to the finals of judging, there is always next year. The theme of this contest was "Network Your Senses." Since the Siggraph conference is all about technology, they encourage the theme to portray technology as much as possible. Overall my idea was to incorporate Binary Code in the shape of a face, to represent the senses. The Binary Code itself says "Wellcome to Siggraph 2009 in New Orleans! Network your senses."

Rocko's Modern Life...

Don't ask me why, but that song is stuck in my head. I have not seen an episode of that in years and it randomly just popped up while I was trying to break down my designers block. With summer school officially over as of 9:00PM tonight, hopefully I will have more time to actually enjoy part of my summer. Well, the part that does not involve me sitting in my freezing cold office 8 ours a day. I have a few things I would like to accomplish before this summer is complete:

Design and Publish Personal Design Website
Enter Multiple Design/Photography/Photoshop Contests on Worth1000.com
Find out more information about becoming an ACE (Adobe Certified Expert)

Doesn't seem like to long of a list...but I am sure it will grow as the summer, or even this week, goes on. About time to call it a night so I can get up bright and early for work!

Happy 4th of July!

Well, er....5th I guess now. I just wanted to drop by and give a quick photo of the day from the fireworks. I know its not the best picture, but it will do for now.



There are others, I just have not had a chance to go through and find the better ones yet...until next time!

"Time has stopped before us..."

I received my new DSLR today! I went with the Canon 40D and a Canon EFS 17-85mm lens. I am about to head out for Austin for Catherine's graduation, so as soon as I get back (or possibly while I am there) I will be sure to post some pictures.

Actually here is one picture I have of my newest model...Teddy. Off to Austin!

Hello

Kind of bored today, so I thought I would go back and work on a little project I had going during the semester.


It is almost entirely 100% original from Photoshop tools alone, except for a picture or two that I used from my library. Creating this was just something fun I had wanted to do, but never really had the time. Living back in the Houston area, right next to JSC, has really brought my space nerd back out. I had originally planned on putting together a whole solar system of planets and even mess with the space that Earth is in. 

Onto other news, my camera is now out of commission and I have heard a few bad things about the Rebel series from Canon. I went browsing yesterday (oh by the way, why doesn't Fry's have Nikon's???) and narrowed it down to four choices. Well, really three, the Canon EOS 40D, Nikon D90, and the Nikon D5000. The Canon 50D was on the list, but do I really need 15.1MP? Seems like a waste of and extra $500 to me. All come strapped with a CMOS sensor, but what really has been attracting me is the speed of the 40D. It shoots 6.5 frames per second while the two Nikon's are barley hitting 4 fps. Other than the speed the Nikon's seem like better Cameras to me, so I didnt know which route I want to take. 

Well, time to get started on some real work...

Cheers!

About to head to bed for the night and thought I would post a picture of something themed around one of my current projects. Hopefully I will have a website with a real gallery by mid summer. Keep your fingers crossed!
