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

That looks beautiful, like a magical sparkling waterfall raining shopping happiness! Maybe that’s where the free-designer-clothes-fairies come from!

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)

These apps looks super cool. I am definitely going to buy this TiltShift Generator, and look into those Bloom and Trope (and Air?) apps.
Hey – does this mean you have an iPhone now?!?!

I’m testing out Max’s old iphone but i’m still using my tmobile dash as my main phone. In December I’ll be making the switch!

Emilily
Awesome! There is an app that will let me track your phone with GPS, so we can always see where the other one is! That will be fun! Or is it creepy? Nah. Fun.

Carmen
it will only be creepy sometimes.

There is an app for that Emililyly! I just found it and downloaded it. It’s called “Loopt” I downloaded Trope and Bloom too. They give me something to do during meetings. ( on silence of course) Trope works for doodling.

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?

Stella
Carmen, nice photo. Where was the bar? Now Emily needs to post a photo of her ancestors, farther back then those funny-looking parents of hers!

Test of the new camera
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…

ooooooooh, niiiiice. I love that, what a good picture. I guess you picked a good camera! I like pantone color books too. If you like that, you’ll love this… http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/rating?time=30

Carmen
see, i’m having spacing issues too, how did you do these?
-
Emilily
I did them all left-justify, and then tweaked the horizontal space between them. I think I started with 10px on either side, then bumped it up 10px each time until they were about even. I tried doing it by left justifying the left one, center justifying the middle one, and right justifying the right one, but it kept doing unexpected things, it just wasn’t doing what I thought it should. Conclusion: I think the vertical and horizontal space controls are good when posting multiple pictures, and the left, right and center justify controls are good when you are trying to wrap text.

Preview:
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.

Oh she is! I can see some of your grandma’s features still.
