New Home St. Louis

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

I recently moved to St. Louis, MO. More specifically, I moved to University City, one of the hip inner-ring suburbs that was so named for Washington University’s presence in the city.

I’m living near Lewis Park, a nice little park where families go to let their toddlers run around and adults go to enjoy the pond.

I found a cool statue of a fish on a bicycle!

I will post some more St. Louis photography here in the next few weeks/months. If you like the first image by Thomas Hawk, check out many of his cool Arch Photos.

The second snow of the year in Chicago.



Instagram on Flickr

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

As I was cross posting an Instagram photo to Flickr the other day, I found a cool little trick.

Instagram applies to images that you upload to Flickr certain tags like “instagram,” “square format,” and “iphoneography.” It also adds tags for the type of filter you applied to the image, if any. You can use these tags to do searches for photos with only those filters.



Photoshop Filter Tutorials

Monday, August 1st, 2011

I’ll admit it – I’m a Photoshop n00b. That’s why I was so excited when I followed a tutorial on how to apply a Lomo-Fi filter using Photoshop. I’ve been doing this for awhile with my Instagram photos, but I wanted a way to make my photos look cool when I took them with my “real” camera.”

I’m going to continue to look for ways that I can add style to my photos using Photoshop and other tools. What other great photo filter tutorials are out there?
