I did this for my brother who’s tinkering around with HDR. He took the photos and I used them to show my workflow. I used Lightroom, Photomatix and Noiseware as part of the workflow process. Hope you find it worth the 15 minutes. You can watch the HD version on Facebook or just play the version below.

Painful, is life
at times
when we feel
lonely
when we feel
broken
when we feel
unmotivated
Painful, is life
when we cannot
reach a goal
when we cannot
save time for ourselves
when we cannot
fulfill our needs
Painful, is life
in shadows
of memories that haunt us
Painful, is life
in death
and sorrow
Painful, is life
in despair
and devastation
Painful, is life
closing in on us
suffocating
the very breaths
we need to
survive
Painful, is life
in the end
Coit Tower and a bunch of other attractions in the City have been turned green because of the homecoming of Wicked. This shot is from a little while after sunset last night.
We’ve had some very peculiar weather today, from being nice and sunny, to raining. At one point we had a pretty nice rainbow going so I thought I’d grab a couple shots of it
Reflecting back on the Inauguration, one of my favorite parts were the live performance by musicians Anthony McGill, Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma and Gabriela Montero. I found that someone had pulled together an mp3, which turns out was likely the recording of what was actually being played to the audience and folks on TV. The performance was “live”, but the audio being fed wasn’t. I guess its another version of lip synching. Read more about it on Wikipedia. For those who enjoyed the song, you can listen to it again below or download it.
Photo from August 2008. Just added the documentary The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill to my Netflix queue. Hope to learn a bit more about these guys.
