I took some photos yesterday when Justine and I drove through Rocky Mountain National Park.

Some Colorado photos

I posted some photos on my Flickr account of our trip to Pikes Peak, near Colorado Springs, Colorado. I also posted some photos of the wedding we attended at the Arrowhead Golf Course.

Enjoy.

Adobe launches web-based Photoshop Express

Dave — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 03:55:18 +0000

Adobe launched the web-based Photoshop Express recently and I’m trying to figure out if it’s any better or worse than Flickr’s (picnik.com) web-based image editing tool. Adobe offers 2GB of storage, which is better storage than the free Flickr account, however, Express isn’t meant to be a photo sharing site like Flickr.

The functionality isn’t terribly interesting yet, but image editing is Adobe’s bread and butter, so I would expect the functionality to grow in the coming months.

The one immediate limitation I noticed is the requirement of Flash Player 9 to run the Express. I tried visiting the site with my current version of FireFox and got a blank screen. I suspected it was a problem with my version of Flash player. When I upgraded my Flash Player to the current version (9), it worked fine.

I hope Adobe continues to build on this platform. It’s an interesting idea and this space could use some decent competition.

Justine and I are in New Orleans for a wedding this weekend and took a ride on the St Charles Ave trolley. I took some photos of things we saw along the way. St Charles Ave is filled with the aroma of flowers (very different than the aroma of the French Quarter, I might add). It was a beautiful afternoon in New Orleans, with temperatures in the 70′s and breezy.

I suspect there are beignets and some chicory coffee in my future tomorrow morning.

I hope everyone else is having as much fun as I am.

Gregory Colbert – ashes and snow

Every now and then I find a photographer that takes my breath away.

This is one of those times…

Winter wonderland

I realized this past thanksgiving how much I miss snow during the holidays. I stumbled upon this great photo in Flickr that Rick Harris took of a Canadian winter.

He has a great eye for framing a shot. You can see the rest of his photos here.

Enjoy.
