Enjoying the CNY break

Ok so I'm really really enjoying the absence of sandflies, tekkaning, camo cream and such over this 4 days and 4 nights. What a great book out! Strangely enough, I sleep on average about 3 hours a day but my body automatically wakes up at 8 or so at the very latest. I felt dead tired this morning and thought I would seriously need to sleep in the afternoon but as the day progressed, the tiredness seemed to slip away. I hope I'll still be fresh while fishing tonight to get some great photos of my section mates and the fishing trip. Hurhur. Back to feeding the mosquitoes, but at least it's on our own terms now and we'll have fun doing it! Damn, I can't wait to ORD; funny considering I haven't even POPed! Anyhow, decided not to sign on with the navy because they told me flat out my photography would have to take a back seat, so um ya, it's down to air force or no command school at all right now, since I really dont relish army life at all, nor do I see any joy in becoming an officer commissioned by Nathan. I don't think it makes you a better person, just a more busy one. Anyhow, given the joy my new toys(the 16-35L, 80-200L and incoming 28-70 and 135L) have been giving me will probably make me want to go shooting again and again! I'm infected with the L-virus, sigh.

I probably won't be putting up any long blog posts for quite a while more, and most will definitely be short ones like these, since I'd rather do a multitude of other things rather than writing about myself; like photograph for example. If you still need any lovely photo advice, I'd be happy to provide specific tips to solve any imaging problem you can throw at me, but I probably will not be continuing with the PIME articles, since they take about 2 hours each to write. You all know how to get me, so do so, 24 hour hotline guaranteed, except when I'm in camp. Hurhur. Please leave 1 week for information turn around if you email.

Was just fiddling with cross processing this morning, and cross processed the picture of Joce I took the other day, so now the pic has more mojo. Digital cross processing attempts to emulate what I did with my slides for the lomo project, process them in c41 as opposed to E6, giving you highly saturated off-colour images, which may add to, or destroy the photo. Here's the result. You can actually get actions for this online if you have photoshop, making the process much more simple. Of course, the most pretty results are achieved manually, but normally I just use a do-it-all action. Mail me if you wanna know more.
