The Great Gallery

Canyonlands National Park, Utah. I'd like to see this sometime.

Something interesting once in a while

It's a quiet day at work. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July. Sometimes I work with really interesting images.

Gmail allows custom colors... finally

I'm really happy about this. It took a long time before Gmail provided us with themes. Now, in addition to themes, we have the freedom to deviate even further from that terribly underdeveloped aesthetic system that Google has forced onto us for all to long.

Learning to write

Writing is hard for me, and that's one of the reasons I started this blog—to practice putting my ideas into words. I was checking out Edward Tufte's site tonight, and found this book about sentence structure by his wife Virginia. I think I'll buy it and daydream about reading it, just like I did with The Quantitive Display of Information.

Trial and error

I spent about three hours color correcting this photo yesterday. It seems our monitors are somewhat out of calibration with our large-format LightJet printer. The frustrations come from tweaking colors in Photoshop, saving two or three versions for print, printing the files on the LightJet, processing the paper, trimming the paper off the roll, and then holding the print next to the original and realizing your color corrections are not even close.
