Turkey Be Gone

By this, I mean the Turkey Day weekend is over. (Actually, the non-frozen part of our yearly turkey has been gobbled up by me, so turkey be gone applies there, as well...)

*sigh*

Back to work!

Actually, I'm an ecommerce/web developer, so there really is no down time, unless you're actually "off the grid" - on vacation, somewhere without VPN access or what have ya.

But it was a nice weekend; I think I (finally!) posted all but the last 5% of my vacation pictures from our trip to Maine in early September.

About freakin' time - it's been three months.

Some observations about this posting process:

• I have some good (homegrown) tools to help me with this process, but it's still a very one-by-one process. Time consuming.


• Google/Google Maps are invaluable to this process. Hey, pic I took 90 days ago, where is this shop? Google it. Ah, on Middle Street...


• I suck as a photographer. That's partly being on vacation (snapshots vs. taking the time to compose etc), but I've been out of game too long. Need to retrain myself.


• Great fun to revisit the photos - takes time to cull images in/out, but that's fun. To me...


• I have to get better at processing pics. I have a decent camera, shoot at high shutter speeds/low ISO. Yet Dooce (Heather Armstrong) kicks my ass with her pics. She's a graphic artist/web designer (hence way better than me at this stuff), but her pics rock. Mine don't. I gotta get better.

Update 12/03/2008: Did I actually use the word "actually" three times in the first five sentences? Yes! We have a winner (loser)! Wow. Someday I'll actually learn to aktually rite goodish. Eep.
