Stuck

There is a job that I think I'm a good fit for open in Colorado.  The application requires the standard CV and cover letter.  It also requires:

• A statement of my philosophy of science education.
• My most interesting research experience.

Needless to say, I'm dragging my feet.  I just don't have a clue about what I need to write.  I do know I need to write it well and it needs to show the depth of my knowledge, which is rather shallow in some parts.

I suppose for the philosophy statement, I will need to go back over some of my old classwork.  I'm almost positive I've had to generate similar statements.  

When I get one of them done, I'll post them and you can ridicule them ;)

Study of Beached Canoe

I'm not sure which of these I like best. I took a bunch of pictures of this canoe from many angles. One problem is that for some reason I didn't plug in the remote shutter that lets me take photos with the shutter open for more than 30 seconds. So the images get very very dark very very fast. The other problem is that in the dark, it's hard to see the canoe to even take a picture of it. So I have lots of pictures with bits of the canoe missing.

Study of Lone Tree in Foggy Water Channel

I think this is my favorite...


This is the same image brightened. I think I like the darker image better. Seems creepier.

When A Good Photo Goes Bad

I went out to the Garden to take pictures of the lotus blossoms.  I forgot my 70-300 mm telephoto, so I couldn't really get the nice blossoms far away.

Here's one:

The problem with this is that the blossom is nice but the image is too soft.  I think the focus was on a leaf that was slightly in front of it.  So what do you do with an image that is lovely, but not technically lovely?

That's when the awesome photoshop filters come in....

It's a light painting!  See can't tell it is blurry in this image...

This is the watercolor filter.  It's a little on the dark side but still...it's a nice effect.

Job Hunting

is rough when your self-esteem is in the basement.  How am I supposed to sell myself when I think I'm worthless?

Awesome Day

I haven't posted much in the last few days because I haven't felt well.  Mostly I felt unwanted and unneeded.

But I had an awesome day today!

I got up early and took pictures of lotuses.  I then helped photobuddy with his latest book.  He fed me brunch.  I then got tater pancakes for later.  We watched movies and chillaxed.

Then we went swimming.  :)
