I do thoroughly enjoy this 'look' as it were, and will be doing further work in it. I was trying to get a more surrealistic feel in this last shot, bringing the model into close focus. Amazingly enough, the... http://colin.gfxartist.com/artworks/108632 Colin Photography / Figure This is the second in my possibly ongoing experimentation with different aging and exposure techniques within photoshop. Once again with my neice and her friend as models. I tried to get more of an even light/dark balance within the photo, while maintaining the very soft overall focus of the... http://colin.gfxartist.com/artworks/108560 Colin Photography / Figure A shot taken last year of my niece and a friend as they were about to head off to prom. Of course, she describes this as a "hideous" photo of herself. However, I beg to differ. This also marks a bit of experimentation I'm doing in photoshop to give photos that... http://colin.gfxartist.com/artworks/108533 Colin Tip or trick Whist surfing around today, I found this most interesting article on how to make your own 'stealth' iPod nano case: http://www.sneakmove.com/2005/09/diy-ipod-nano-case-with-urban-camo.html Since 'official' nano cases are still a couple of weeks out from even being able... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/100290 Colin Review Well, Steve Jobs has finally managed to dip his hand into my pocket for a portable music player. After resisting iPods over the years for many practical reasons, the Apple crew finally put together the right blend of features, technology, and size to grab me by the wallet. One minute, I'm... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/98849 Colin Announcement Since most of the GFXartist team these days are heavily involved with a flood of clientelle in their now thriving business, and my own creativity has seemingly disappeared, I've decided to try my hand at getting GFXartist cleaned up a bit, and hopefully updated a bit more frequently.... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/98581 Colin Personal Well, we had quite a storm last night. I was jarred awake in the early a.m. hour by my ringing telephone. An hour later, a full equipment check at the datacenter was complete, with only one of our remote access points showing problems. So much for getting a little more sleep in this morning.... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/98354 Colin Personal Tuesday. There's not much noteable about Tuesdays. Today isn't much different, except that I'm spending some time playing with my new toys; some used Dell PowerEdge servers that I recently bought. I've spent the last few years tooting the 'roll your own' mantra... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/98259 Colin Photography / Vehicle "Imagine yourself winding along a deserted back road, enjoying the coolness of an overcast day, the wind blowing through the car clearing your burdened mind. Suddenly, mother nature decides that you need to slow down..." This was shot with my trusty Sony Cybershot... http://colin.gfxartist.com/artworks/98057 Colin Personal Well, it's been quite a while since I posted anything here at GFXartist, let alone online. It's turned out to be quite the crazy, busy, and at times overwhelming year. The evolution of GFXartist over these past couple of years is amazing, and it makes me laugh when I think of where it... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/98055 Colin Personal I just thought I would try out this local blog thing. Since I have my own website and the requisite blog to go with it, which I don't update either, this doesn't make a lot of sense for me. But, since I'm here, what the fuck? Thursday. What a boring ass day. Not much... http://colin.gfxartist.com/blog/74188 Colin Photography / Nature A simple black and white photo of this most interesting tower. The tower is actually a water tower for a large estate that's built on top of a mountain. I hope to have more photos of the estate later this year, as my first visit was cut short by weather. A little clean up with photoshop... http://colin.gfxartist.com/artworks/40206 Colin Photography / Nature A quick photo shot on New Year's Eve 2003, whilst standing near our fire for the occasion. Nothing special, but it did come out rather nice. http://colin.gfxartist.com/artworks/40202
