Lunch break activism
I did make it out to the presentation of the pro-net neutrality petitions to Senator Schumer’s office today. Jen has a wrapup on her site. I have more to say on the issue, but I’m still adjusting to Amanda’s new schedule, so it’ll have to wait for another day.
Smoke yellowed and falling
Every day I’ve been driving by the slowly demolishing Aud, and keep seeing the old, cigarette smoke-yellowed sound baffling cans hanging from the ceiling and envisioning this shot: Luckily, Sara Etten snapped it, along with a series of other great shots, available here.
Punaro Glen Construction: Beginning of September
We have a hole in the ground! Only problem… we don’t technically have a building permit yet. They can’t set the footers until they have the permit. We’ve been stuck in this loop of the building inspector saying he’s going to issue the permit, but first wanted the fire chief to give an opinion on…
Extra! Extra! Canadians figure out socialized medicine doesn’t work!

Canada’s system has big problems, though, ones which are easy to see and predict, yet hastily ignored by those looking to feed the Hutt of federal government. However, it’s hard to ignore the…

for something like this, to replicate the feel I think you want, you probably want to feather edges of your faux-vignette a little more and add a layer or two of grain to give it more of a realistic, film-y feel. Very cool shot, though.
it’s a very nice shot, i like it a lot, but the corner darking could be less dark. i’m sure your camera didn’t do it THAT dark (and if it did, maybe something is wrong haha).
Yeah, the vignette is completely Photoshopped and I couldn’t get it to come out quite the way I wanted it to. I also went back to the RAW shot and tweaked it a little bit to make it a bit more dynamic. Going to take it back into PS and work it a bit more.
