I just noticed that my sister has posted some photos from the Peace March in Portland.

Lovely shots of the city and its people. Some great commentary and an ode to spring.

Yesterday Glin and I served as pit crew for Tom while he finished his last track day and class at the Portland International Raceway. We weren’t that great as far as pit crews go – we were usually still out walking around the track when Tommy finished a session. We did however circumnavigate the track on the inside and outside, took a few pictures (thanks Hilly) and used zip ties on non-bike things.

This was the first time I’ve been at a bike track and I had a blast. Being 4 feet away from a bike going over 160mph is pretty cool, and the fence and concrete were nice. Hearing a set of 600cc engines whiz by then have a liter bike buzz by, having your head tugged when a group moves past, watching a downed bike slide like a curling stone – all cool. There were a couple bad-asses on the course that were just amazing to watch, but it was also fun to see a friend out doing really well, and looking cooler on the track (thanks to the all black with orange wheels and lego-orange visor) than many of the other riders.

I’ve put up a gallery of still shots that I took with my sister’s D70, her wide-angle lens, and her 70-300mm (sweet), but there are several “in a series” shots that I want to stitch together somehow to show the motion and movement.

I’ve posted my photos from Scott and Stephanie’s lovely wedding in Bellingham. I always miss the people, but this time I realized that I missed the city itself too. Congrats and best wishes.

Wow – apparently it’s been so long that all my previous posts are no longer on the page. Anyway, here’s a picture from down the street of some wart-like growths on a maple leaf. Also, here are some pics from our trip to Manzanita recently with family.

Posted a few pics from our Eagle Creek trail hike on Saturday. Didn’t take the camera out with us that night though. Hopefully Troy got a few good pics from our shenanigans at the nickel arcade, at the pubs, and playing alley ball with the toys we won from the arcade. Good times.

Dear Apple,

The red-eye reduction tool in iPhoto is great, but how about adding yellow/green-eye reduction for dogs and cats?

I’ve posted the first set of photos taken with the SD550. I really like the Color Accent feature, which you’ll notice in several pictures. The camera lets you select a color (like the photoshop eyedropper) and it then highlights that and changes the rest to grayscale.

I also use the stitch assist last night but the picture itself isn’t that good. More to come though.

Lastly – I’ve changed the image resolution to 800×600, so the images will be a little bigger from now on. What’s the point of hosting at home if you can’t overuse disk space?
