Photoshop Fun - Fake Album Cover

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Thursday, January 15th, 2009

My co-worker, Kent Downer, was showing me some of his facebook photos and one of them jumped out at me. The second I saw it, I just knew I had to photoshop it for fun. Here’s the before and after result:

Hot Air Balloon Ride

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

This past Saturday, I went on a hot air balloon ride! We went over a mile high, and it was awesome!
My business partner, Chris Tingom, came along (he rode in the other balloon) and he took a video of the experience, and a few photos. I took a video as well, but he beat me [...]

Digital Camera

Friday, June 10th, 2005

Ok so I finally broke down and bought a digital camera. I got a Sony Cybershot DSC-P73 (Approximately $250 retail). ‘Cept I bought it off of ebay for $142 (plus $15 shipping). The camera showed up on my doorstep literally two days after I placed the winning bid. The camera came new in it’s original box, complete with all accessories such as batteries and cables. I’m impressed!

Without further ado, I present a sample image that I just snapped:

Wednesday and Rose Colored Glasses

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

Ok so it’s already Wednesday. I don’t know how though, because it feels like a Monday.
(Sunday. *blink*. Wednesday. “what? how’d that happen?”)

At any rate. Yeah. Mom and Summer came and visited the other night, which was cool. Summer is all excited about this guy she might marry. I, of course, am skeptical. I’m sorry, but if someone’s gonna marry my little (older) sister, he’d better be downright amazing. So they spent the better part of 2 hours trying to convince me that he was incredible, etc… But I’ll just have to see about that. They’re women so they probably just have rose colored glasses on (lucky for us mediocre guys when it works that way, huh? haha!).

On a side note, I finally broke down and ordered a digital camera. I used to have one of those Sony Cybershot 3.2 megapixel cameras but I never used it so I sold it on ebay for like $175 or something. Now I just bought a Sony Cybershot 4.1 megapixel camera off of ebay for around $150. See? Now that’s the way to do an upgrade! Assuming you’re willing to wait a year for the new model to drop in price, that is…

Fun stuff.

Morning

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

I got up at 6:15 AM this morning. I think that’s the earliest I’ve gotten up in about a year.

Took a shower. Got dressed. Went to McDonalds and got a breakfast biscuit and coffee. Dropped the movie “X-Men” off at Blockbuster.

Got to work at 7:35 AM.

Only 10 more hours to go (marathon work day).
