“It the way you name your ship…”
My life has changed dramatically since May, but I am trying to keep a good name on it. I need about 4 more hours in my day, and things keep dropping off my list. It is funny what becomes more important as you prioritize your time in life…
“And we laugh, and we cry
And we recited sacred text
And we rose and we fell
And then we said, okay what’s next?”
This is my soundtrack of the weekend, I need to see this band live soon, always a great time!
Until then, I frantically study drugs’ effect on neurotransmitters and try to keep it all straight, with a brain that may or may not have used drugs that affected my neurotransmitters many years ago.
Life is fucking weird, dude.

So what happened in May? Inquiring minds want to know! And I hear you about not enough time in the day, every day there’s shit that doesn’t get done.

May was when I quit my job to become a student. Nursing school starts in less than a year, and now I am full time making up some credits I was lacking…I don’t know how you keep up with your blog so well, Marty, it is always an inspiration to me!

That’s cool and thanks for the nice words about the blog! The only way I keep up with my blog is I don’t have a real life, it’s just work and the blog. It’s a different way to live, but I likes it!

Thanks Jenny. No, not a new technique. In fact I don’t think the cghnaes I made were really any specific technique. They’re more just a different way to make adjustments. This was a single photo shot as a jpeg and taken 9 years ago. The main thing I was trying when I picked up this shot again, was how could I crop the image differently to improve the final product. I think I actually posted this one some time ago, and now I cropped out about 50% of the original image. Then I worked on contrast and exposure somewhat. I’ve been noticing lately, as I look at other people’s images how often they crop them way down and how good that ends up looking. So I’ve been trying that on some of my older photographs, not always successfully, which is why this is the first I’ve posted out of several I’ve played with.
