I found this picture of my grandma (on the right) and her sister. Isn’t she lovely?

Well, my Halloween was a complete bore (I spent all day/night cleaning my old apartment) but it looks like my little brother had fun!
For future reference, you can always identify a bona fide Northern California drag queen by the pit hair and choice of footwear.

Speaking of apps...

I also downloaded the TiltShiftGen app which allows you to take a picture and then render it to look like you are looking at a miniature mock up of the real thing. It works really well and the photos look super cute. Go get it! You will like it!
(i did not take this pic btw)

My heritage...

I just received this picture from my family’s geneologist. I guess my family (quite a few generations ago) bought a bar and cafe when they moved to California from Colorado. Behind the bar is my great great great Aunt Catherine. Pretty nice eh?

Test of the new camera
Emilily
So this is the new camera in action. I was testing how close it could focus, and how well it would capture shades of white, two things my last camera did not do very well at all.
Tuberose from the farmers' market this morning
(The background behind the flower is the pantone color booklet that Dylan just gave me. A numbered code for every single color in the world! Oh be still my beating heart.)
Testing the spacing of pictures…

Preview:
Emilily
This was slide number 22 of 41.
I did a bit of image editing to try to make it look old. (It already looked old because the original picture was taken in 1998 with a camera that was made in 1972, so I decided to try and enhance the sort of gritty and deteriorated look rather than hide it.)
Rooftop meeting
That was a LOT of scanning, but I am very happy with my new slide scanner. An unexpected bonus: all the tutorial videos are narrated in an incomprehensibley thick German accent, and you know how I feel about German engineering.
