Off for the weekend
Oct. 29th, 2005 07:14 amTo my mind the, "holiday season" starts with Hallowe'en. It's when the cycle of parties, which makes it so much easier to stay in touch with semi-local friends, begins.
The weather starts to turn. People are more likely to build fires, with the sense of homeliness that smell brings (having grown up in houses where some of the winter heat came from liberating old sunlight, trapped in trees, woodsmoke is very evocative).
So Maia and I are off to L.A. for the weekend, to begin the season og hopeful cheer, as the sun begins truly disappear, and the cold begins to settle in, and an evening spent with friends, warding off the dark with food, drink and company, becomes more common.
On a side note, I just installed Adobe's CS2. It's'a wonnerful!
Many of my complaints about Photoshop seem to have been fixed. Pictures are easier to open (I shoot RAW files) and I can make truly huge image files from the "negatives" they provide. What editing I do (mostly adjustments of contrast, saturation and brilliance. I'm trying to recreate what I saw when I pressed the shutter release) is much faster, and easier.
So I hope to inflict more pictures on you.
