Sundries

We don't want the pet sitter to be faint with hunger while we are gone, so picked up a few of his favorite things.

Purple Evening

More from the Minneapolis Prince tribute this weekend.

Composite Background Test

I bought my first green screen recently and began experimenting with it this evening.  My husband was a good sport and let me use him for my test subject.

35W in Purple

Another tribute to the loss of the pioneer of the Minneapolis Sound.

The 35W bridge is lit up "purple" this weekend in memory of the passing of Prince.  Unfortunately, the closer we got to the bridge, the pinker it looked.  The red and blue LED lights were struggling to make purple.

So I took creative license and adjusted the color.  Not to mention that I made it darker and more abstract in Photoshop and Perfect Effects 9.

Purple Minneapolis

Purple is the theme this weekend as Minneapolis honors the memory of Prince.

It Was Raining Purple Today

I've been thinking a lot today about Prince, his music, where I was at various times in my own life while listening to his music.  A local boy has left the building.  RIP, Prince.

Adopted Grandma

Day 7 of "Back to the 80s" –  I "adopted" this sweet lady as my grandma after the only grandma I knew passed away.  She was a soft-spoken, kind-hearted soul.

Back in my college days, I not only took images, I also developed the film and prints by hand.  Film – that stuff they used to take pictures before SD cards.

This was taken with my first SLR camera, the Pentax Super Program.  I didn't own a flash back then, so a lot of these images were pretty dark.

The Kid

Day 5 of "Back to the 80s"

My friend, "The Kid."  It didn't matter that she was a great-grandmother and I could have been a granddaughter.  We were "just us kids" when we were together.

This image was part of a college project.  I wanted to memorialize people who I knew wouldn't be around forever.

Private Event

Day 1 of a new series "Back to the 80s."

This image was part of a college assignment in 1989, back in my MCAD days.

I don't know these people, but as the "public", I did manage to intrude slightly on their private event.
