Hard Boiled rain

current mood: awake
current song: Metallica

Here's the before and after with the Sin City rain effect.  Still testing this one and I have yet to apply it to a photo that I tool expressly for it.  I actually prefer the "before" photo.

 Even though we're retaking these on the 12th, I found myself trying to salvage this one anyway.

I've been toying with effects to turn photos into true Hard Boiled scenes.  This was just a test, so nothing is as it will be in the final photos and this one will not appear in the book.  Still, I pretty much have the effects.  Now I just need to set up photo shoots to get the images we want.  Long process, but well worth it.

Swimming in Noir

excited

current location: In the dark streets
current mood: excited
current song: Metallica

I've spent the last few days writing down ideas for Noir photos for Hard Boiled and watching some of the great Film Noir movie classics.  I'm really looking forward to these photo shoots.  I love working with B&W and I'm lucky enough to live in an area with plenty of atmospheric locales.  Of course, I've had to track down a '50's ashtray for a couple of shots and a classic car for a couple more.  All those antique ashtrays my parents used to have... to bad my sister sold them all.

The Hard Boiled creation process is just amazing.  It should be illegal to have this much fun.

Blood Omens

current song: Blood Omens Season 2

Tomorrow is the first night of Season 2 of my Savage fantasy campaign.  I had planned on waiting until next weekend since we'll be playing both Friday and Saturday night, but I got talked into starting early.  I sat up last night going back over the plot points I had set up, the locales the PCs would be visiting and what kind of entities they would encounter.  It was Epic before but now the PCs are going to learn the true meaning of the word!

I just finished burning a CD for the game.  New music (but with familiar themes) for a new Season.

We'll see if Thor still smiles upon the PCs or if the encroaching Darkness has grown too strong.

current song: I kissed a girl

I decided to put my Deviant Art page to use.  I'll use it as a place to post tests and experiments for my various photo projects and to store my more interesting shots. http://deadgunslinger.deviantart.com/

Just keep in mind the cemetery shots and the B&W shots are tests/experiments.  The cemetery shots are scheduled for a reshoot in July.  I can't wait to get that one right...

Test shots

I was bored today so I went out and took some test photos.  That's what I love about digital... you can take as many photos as you want and never have to buy film.

Dark Knight tickets!!

current location: Gotham City
current mood: bouncy

 I just bought my ticket for the midnight showing of The Dark Knight at the IMAX in Indy on July 17th (technically, it's the 18th but who cares?)  Man, I cannot wait for this one.  

I saw the 5 Minute preview of the IMAX footage when I went to see I Am Legend and it blew me away.  When the crooks go over the edge of the building, your stomach churns because it feels like you're actually going over the edge.  Awesome!!
