Mother and Child, Marathon

Speaking of Photoshop technique: these are almost totally unworked since I didn't have the time. They're just up as reminders to me - worth working on. Scanned at 5400, flipped down to 72 dpi in one pass; and just sharped with the Photoshop unsharp mask. They are just ideas for me right now. You can see all sorts of technical errors - bad sharpening; highlight of baby's face blown; hair of woman mixing with background, etc. And it can all and will be fixed.

Shhhh!

Business Crap

So far I've spent about $100 on samples from Lulu and haven't seen a thing yet.

I published the first Lulu draft calendar on11/04/2005. Still hasn't shipped. And what has shipped - still hasn't arrived. Oh man - today's Vet. Day. No mail

What does Lulu mean anyway? "It's a Lulu?"

I also think Lulu was Ed Norton's childhood dog. Remember the sleep-walking episode? Poor Ed is dreaming about his pooch and starts sleep-walking - looking for his poor Lulu that he lost at Coney Island. "Loooo-looooo."

There was also a screen siren in silent films called Lulu. (Louise Brooks)

Lulu may be the bleeding edge technology of the day.

Anyway - the ftp connection was (is) unbearably slow this morning so I decided to develop two rolls of film. Ah the old technology. Can't beat it sometimes. Hope to have something worth looking at later.
