Deviations, Courses, Nutella, Oh My!

Tue Feb 6, 2007, 5:50 AM
So here I am again in my school's library. In France, that is. I'm quite glad to have internet access, though I must say the school's website is... Okay, I'll get to that in a minute.

First off, I've been having a grand ol' time with my camera. We went on an excursion to Strasbourg/Alsace over the weekend, and during the two days that we were there, I took 597 photos. Definitely a record for me. I probably didn't even take that many in the last four years that I was using my old camera.

Anyway, I got a lot of photos, and a few of them even merit some artistic appreciation (though some of them were taken purely for touristy reasons). And now that I've got a few of them touched up and stuff in Photoshop, I'm going to start posting them here.

It's worth noting that the adjustments I've made to these pictures (mostly levels, brightness/contrast, saturation, etc.) were made on my laptop, which doesn't have the best screen in the world. Its colors only seem to look right from a couple of very particular angles, and I'm not even sure if those are any good compared to "real" displays. So if they turn out exceedingly dark/light/ugly/etc., it's because there's nothing I can do about it on this computer. It's not because I have weird artistic vision or because I'm incompetent, etc., I swear...

But back on the subject of my school's website, it's terrible. I guess I'm just spoiled from Lewis & Clark, or maybe my French is just really bad and I'm not seeing something that's right in front of me, but I can't find the course catalog for the life of me. It's rather aggravating, if I do say so myself. But one day I shall conquer it, and it shall be pwned. You'll see...

And on a parting note, I like Nutella. It is a brilliant substance. And they have way more of it here than back home. I found a jar of 1500 grams, but I decided against getting it, as the next size down, 875 grams, was less than half the price (3.49 euro; now I'm curious how much it costs in the States... anyone out there know?).

Okay, that's all. Goodbye, good luck, and gesundheit.

Of me being silly? Like, ones that include me in the shot? Or do touristy shots of non-me objects taken in a silly manner count?

And speaking of photos, I just remembered... Would you happen to be able to e-mail me some or perhaps all of those ones that I sent you from our photoshoot and my moonshoot? (I would seem to have forgotten to bring any of my recent photos with me to show people here...)

Well, I suppose I ought to be off. And maybe eat a couple bananas. With Nutella. Yumm...
:iconfortysecondarcha:
it hink, as far as silly photos, all of those are acceptable, and even encouraged.
errrr... i think I was silly and deleted all the photos you sent me. ;_; sad.

Hmm, oh well. 'Tis okay. It's not of vital importance, and I'd've had to suffer with the low resolution that dialup was able to handle. Looks like I may need to make some new moonshots and stuff or something...
:iconzvennadin:
Well, I'm not sure how many of those I have so far, but I've got a couple. I shall indeed show you all the shots at some point. Though I'm not sure how many will make it onto dA.
:iconzvennadin:
Yeah, I'm going to have to contemplate that same thing. I guess I'll have to see how much I'm bringing back with me and all that.

But no, the website doesn't fail completely. I've since discovered how to use it. (Though it's still not set up in a very logical or easy way.)

I like cheese. I'm going to have a feast of cheddar when I get home, methinks.
:icononewhiterose:
hehe, i wish i could send you cheese!

glad to here that your school sight dosent fail :)
