I can has update
Sep. 19th, 2008 12:00 pmI've been busy the past couple of weekends and didn't say boo about it here. So, the quick rundown.
The weekend after Labor Day:
The Las Vegas Strip as seen from the Eiffel Tower
I was in Vegas for Photoshop World Conference and Tech Expo, which I liked so much that I plan on going again next year. I took lots of courses that I barely retained the info from, but that's alright, since they gave everyone a workbook the size of a telephone book that had everything that was covered in every course given.
Since I don't gamble, Vegas has little appeal to me as anything other than a place to sight see, so I did some sightseeing, took some shots along the strip, and managed to spend more money on tips than I did on food, and I managed to keep my spending at the tech expo under $500. Under by, like, $10.
Last weekend:
I went to the San Francisco Lindy Exchange, the first lindy exchange I've been to since the last San Francisco Lindy Exchange in '05. As is the usual with lindy exchanges, I aggravated my already bad knee, I watched Larry (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lrc ) eat a lot (he was like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Whenever he wasn't dancing, he were eating, looking for food, or getting ready to look for food), Drew got hammered, and I saw a grown man naked. Actually, it was two.
the_ogre took me on a day trip to the Marin Headlands, where I nearly stepped on a dead jellyfish while walking barefoot on Rodeo Beach. It was gloomy and overcast, which meant I got to shoot a lot of black and white. While listening to one of 7 versions of "Caravan" I have on my iPod, the_ogre told me I was the only person he knew who got jazz, which was a really sweet thing for him to say, and I should have thanked him for that, but didn't, so I'll say it here: Thank you.
I took a ton of shots that I'm still processing. If I'm good, I will actually have shots from the various exchange events up for viewing by the end of the weekend.
Drew's shoes
ETA: To follow-up on this entry, I won second place in the Foothill Cities Blog photo contest. My prize was one free photo album film to digital conversion. I had decided to give the prize to my mother, figuring she would want to digitally preserve some of the old family photos that belonged to her mother, but she was less than thrilled with the prospect of having to choose pictures for conversion, so I'm going to give it to Brett, instead.
