Today, we never even picked up a camera. We launched into Photoshop, and stayed there all day.
There are these amazing genius people who can shoot photos straight out of their camera and, omigosh, they just upload them and they are amazing.
I am not one of those people. Perhaps if I spent years in photography school learning all the ins and outs of the technical aspects of photography, I could do it. But let's face it, I might be 76 before I have a chance to do that.
This is not to discount the photographer. Setting a scene, knowing your camera and its settings, and then knowing how to capture the right moment—these things are all critical. But good post-processing? Definitely another integral piece of the puzzle.
Above is an old shot of Ellery as well a super-old shot of Shep, both newly processed. Still delicious.
In other news, I'm still in Boston. I miss everyone terribly, but, um, at least I have power, which apparently none of you have.
