Woohoo!

It's me, it's me! I'm posting! We've been very busy with our normal jobs AND with other projects over the past couple of months, but I think we're both starting to adjust to it a little now. It's not that the things themselves are getting easier or less time-consuming, but we've been starting to be more productive again with our free time, which is good. For the last two months I've basically been doing one of three things at all times: eating, sleeping, or working. Actually, there has been a small amount of non-working, eating or sleeping time in there (and a few bits of shower time here and there as well) but mostly my non-working time has been spent in a pretty couch-potatoish state zombied out in front of le tube. I've made some updates to my site though, and put up THREE new slideshows in the section now called "photographs." I added some slideshows to 3-D too, and deleted the temporary creations section because those pretty much qualify as 2-D or 3-D, and since I don't take pictures of most of the stuff I make anyway, I might as well just squish down the categories. I do feel like "photographs" seems a little dumb for a title when a lot of the stuff in the other categories (at least in 3-D) was photographed as well, but the "photographs" images are actually only photographs I've taken for the sake of taking photos, rather than photographs taken only to show something else I've made. You probably really didn't need me to get into that, but I just did, so I'm not erasing it because it was a lot to write, and maybe someone out there was helped by the explanation. :) So. the three new photograph slideshows are 1) pictures from our Chinese New Year party (finally!) 2) pictures from the duck pond at my work, and 3) pictures from our yard, because it's spring and things are all bloomy and pretty outside. I do touch up my photos normally (that's what photoshop is for, right?) to try and compensate for images that are too dark, too light, too blurry, etc, but the duck pond and yard photos are not touched up AT ALL. No contrast, no brightness, no saturation, NOTHING. Thank you, nature, and thank you, Nikon...I am so impressed with the way they turned out. :)
