Fun with Photoshop!

Here are some of the pictures that I have done for my class. The first picture is the original, and the second is the one that I edited with Photoshop. It is a lot of fun!!! I am by no means great, but I have fun!

Cameron Playing in the Pool

Black and White Cameron Playing in the Pool...where's the ball?

Here is my final project. My assignment was to make a tableau. For those who don't know, a tableau in this case is a picture of a scene that tells a story in just one picture. I decided to do the end of a chess game. Check Mate! (I played my sister Megan, and this was the first time she had ever played, and she won! Good job Megan!)

Here is the original:

Here is the final product with edits done in Photoshop.

So anyways. They aren't great because I'm still learning the program. I'm going to be sad when I can't use Photoshop anymore when I graduate...unless I spend a fortune for it. Anywho, tell me what you think! Have a great day!

4 months later...

So it's been a while since I've blogged. I have been busy with work and school and family, that I just didn't think about it. A lot has happened since I blogged last. The kids have grown and developed so much, it kind of makes me sad. I don't want them to get too big too fast. Here is a recent picture of Allie.

She's so adorable! I can't believe how big she is getting.

Here is a picture of Cameron.

He is so hilarious!!!!

Classes are going well. I'm taking 3 right now during the summer. One is an online History class about early western civilizations in the Middle East, Europe, East Asia, and Africa. It's pretty time intensive, but I'm learning a lot. Another one is a teaching course called Data and Assessment Decision Making. It isn't too bad. And I'm taking a digital photography class. That class is so fun. I'm learning how to take good pictures using proper composition styles and techniques. I'm am by no means great, but some of them have turned out alright. I'm learning how to edit them using photoshop. (Luckily it is free to use on campus, because it's like a $600 program.) Here are just some of the pictures I've used for my assignments.

I'll try to keep this updated more frequently rather than every 4 months. I am going to get myself a nice new camera so I can take some cool pictures. I'll post some of the ones that turn out well. Have a nice day!

Nap time on Sunday

So Becca and the kids are taking a nap, so I thought I would do a new post, since I haven't in a long time. I can't believe how fast Allie is growing up. She'll be 2 months old next week. Cameron is a handfull, but I love him soo much! He learned how to climb out of his crib, but suprisingly has done okay with is "new bed" (his crib with the side off). He fell out of it last night though and bumped his head pretty hard. Poor little dude! So we put his matress on the floor and he's doing pretty well. He's been napping for about 2 hours! Anywho...here are some recent pics of us!

Camron with his new haircut!

Allie Jane in her pretty pink dress!

Big Brother!!!

I love our family!!!!

Allie!!!

The past couple of days have been quite an adventure. Running back and forth from school and the hospital, chasing Cameron, trying to study, remembering how to hold a newborn again, and much more. But, I've had the best time. I didn't think it was possible to love someone as much as I love Cameron. Allie is so precious and I lover her just as much as I love Cameron. Becca and I are both much more comfortable with Allie than we were with Cameron. I love Allie so much. I love her dark hair, her dimple on her left cheek, the way she snorts when she gets mad, and just everything about her. I'm so proud of Becca for doing so well. I love you sweeite!!!

Here are some pics from the hospital:Our first family picture

Our new purchase

So today Becca and I splurged and bought a brand new TV!!! This is one of the first new things that we have bought in a while. We were able to use some Christmas money that we got (thanks everyone!). It is a Philips 32 inch flat screen LCD HDTV. It's pretty cool. I'm excited to play my games on it! Anyway...here is a picture of it.

Tunnel Monster!!!!!!

So Cameron and I have a new game called the Tunnel Monster. When we are driving on I-215, we drive under many over-passes. Cameron calls them tunnels. Today while we were driving, I would tell him that the tunnel monster would get him when we drive under them. I would stick my arm behind the seat, and when we drove under it, I would grab his leg and tickle it. He would freak out and want me to to it again. He was sad when there were no more tunnels. We'll have to get it on video one of these days. I'll post a video of it when we do!

Today is a beautiful day outside so we will probably go to the Zoo and ride the train (hopefully it is open today). There is a big long tunnel when you ride the train. Watch out Cameron....the tunnel monster is going to get you!!!!

Picture Tag

No one tagged me specifically, but Becca said I should do it. (And I have to do what ever she says). Since Becca did one and used the 4th file and the 4th picture, I am going to do the 6th file and the 6th picture.

This is Cameron when he was about 11 months old. He's so cute. It is fun to go back and see his older pictures and see how much he has changed. I love our little Crammon.
