Pictures from when Blogger was down

So while Blogger/Blogspot was down for maintenance, I posted a couple pictures on Facebook and Tumblr. Here they are for your viewing pleasure.

This one is, again, of my co-worker. The files in the background are no longer there so this was kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity. Using simple filters and layers in Photoshop I was able to separate my subject from the background and change it to black and white. This picture was taken with my Minolta camera and is a bit blurry and grainy because of it, but I ultimately love the way it came out blur and all.  We took about 4 or 5 pictures, all different poses, with in a couple minutes (Yes, we were taking a break, boss. I swear!) in the records vault at our job. Next time you go to the doctor's office look at the shelves where they keep the patient records, the shelves usually are on tracks and are rolled using a crank to save space. These types of shelves are really fun when someone is down on the floor at the back and you "accidentally" start rolling the shelves one way or the other. I actually screamed the first time it happened to me because I thought it was the much older vault clerk and that she wouldn't hear me unless I screamed.

These are some pretty little roses (I think) at the Oklahoma City Zoo. I loved the color of the petals and leaves, so bright and vibrant.

Enjoy. XOXOXO
