The Ones I Like List of 2010 [#3]

to better see you with. Well, no need to reinvent the wheel on this one. I wrote a bit about this photo back in July, explaining why it meant something to me. So, if you didn’t get to see the post then, you can click here and see it now. (Or, if you’d like to read it again, awesome!) If time is money and money is time, spare yourself the click and read an excerpt below:
There…I breathed in all that was right with art and design and people who who carry quarters…and fold…in public…for the world to see. I saw my reflection in that which was tumbling just moments earlier. That which was now housing “clean” and stillness. I saw people all around me creating things…piles of cotton origami, friendships with those they’ll only see on Wednesday nights, lists of to do and have done. I could do that. Create something. I took “that which makes me whole” in my hands, steadied myself and took a picture. And another. And another.
Since this post will be a “been there, done that” for those who have seen my earlier, ever-so-rare mid-year blogpost, I offer two things I learned this year that have saved me time as a photographer. The first, how to make a copyright symbol without cutting and pasting. Just hold down the alt key and press “0, 1, 6, 9” one after the other and release. There you go — copyright symbol! The second, Lightscribe! I use it for all my DVD’s now. Instead of dealing with stick-on CD labels or handwritten jobs, Lightscribe etches your label right onto the DVD. My computer comes with it, but it also comes as a stand alone. I recommended it to one friend already, and she loves it. Just thought I’d share.
