In Color... ...Hockey Night

Rick Nash and some guy not named Rick Nash

You had to know it would happen after I discovered that I really like pictures in both black and white and color, that eventually, I'd be wasting my time going through my hockey pictures and giving them the Pleasentville effect.  I started with that Kipper picture and slowly figured out how to make it look better.  Some have just the player in color, others have the lines from the ice, or the crease for the goalies in color as well.

In Color...

Nelis Dutch Village, Holland Michigan

So I have discovered an online photo editor that I kinda like.  And I was playing around there for the last week or so, and have discovered that I really like pictures that are in both black and white and color.  This is what I have spent the last week doing, now that my semester is over.  Bringing the Pleasentville treatment to my photos.  Most are flowers, I found they were the easiest to work with, but I have some animals, and some landscapes.  Those with vibrant colors were the most fun.

Old News

Ever look though an old newspaper or magazine to see what has changed.  I like to do that sometimes.  I like to watch old things taped of the television.  They are silly.  This post is gonna be like my blog version of that.  As I mentioned, I got a newspaper from 1968 recently.  So join me on this little walk through Christmas Eve 1968.

1968...

The super awesome exhibit at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul is 1968.  My sister and I went up to see it and to catch some hockey.  It was a good time, they also had their Dia de los Muertos celebration so we spent some time there too.  But as I am sure you can guess, that is another post for another time.  This one is all about hopping back to the past and the tumultuous time that was 1968.  So we get there and the first thing we get is a newspaper from December of 1968 (yes, there is a post about this too).  Nothing like an old newspaper image of the moon to get you in the mood for some history.   Not in any order and no captions, just the pictures. 

Randomness: Things in my room

Butterflies and hockey players... oh yeah!

Sometimes, when I don't know what to write about I do one of these take a picture of everything and call it random and post it.  With the hope that it will get my creative juices flowing.  I don't know if it does or if it just a cop out post.  But here goes, this edition of randomness involves the strange things I have floating around my room.

snow... Snow... SNOW

I'll let ya in on another secret, I love snow.  Not much of one I am sure.  No where near as dramatic as my last confession.  But hey, they can't all me that important.  And hardly too shocking cause I am from the glorious state of Minnesota and I spent 2 winters in the interior of Yellowstone at Snow Lodge and I've been skiing since I could walk.  So, yeah, one of those open secret things.  Well, I digress, it snow around the beginning of the month.  I don't remember the actual date but it was just wonderful!
