Show's Coming Up

The re-prints made it on time. All the photos are framed, and need only to have the wire put in the back of each frame. I'm pretty excited and am hoping for a great turn out. We'll see how it goes. As a reminder to anyone in the Dallas area: I'm having a show at KE Cellars Winery in Rockwall, TX. Opening night is a big to do, so come out and have some wine, pizza, and cheese with me! Ask me questions! Buy a print directly from me! Or, you know, be lame (or in another state/country - I won't hold that against you).

In my normal life, I've been finding it a true joy to actually edit my photos. For the longest time, I've been of the mindset that if I didn't take it great the first time, it's not worth it. Well, I have Lightroom to see if I can't get around that. I'm still framing the pictures, and taking them how I want them, but I'm shooting in all RAW now. I'm getting pretty good pictures, but I've learned how to use Lightroom to actually make them superb. I no longer feel burdened by my camera's processing to get the images I want. It's liberating. And tons of fun. Way more fun than I was expecting it to be.

This, though, makes me feel weird. I know I'm not letting myself get lazy now, but I'm afraid it's going to make me so. I take a picture expecting to edit it later. I don't want to get into that. I'm going to have to figure out the balance of taking the shots and touching them up later to make them better. So far, so good. It's going to be a fine balance, but I think I'm going to try and keep it in mind when I'm taking pictures.

Anyways, you'll all get to see the initial fruits of my labors soon. I'm about done going through the images I want to keep from the Buddhist Center of Dallas and should be uploading them soon (like, within the next few day or two, soon).

As always, thanks for watching!
