Keepin' up with the times...

So I decided that it was high time for me to sell my soul to the devil keep up with the times of photography. Below is an image I took and (basically butchered) tweaked a little bit; I just (oversaturated) helped the colors, and added some (absurd and impractical) subtle (I don't have a Holga or any other means of drawing natural attention to the subject) vignetting, (not to mention there is no highball like this at Way Lake so I had to crop Jeff off a picture of Natalie V8, shrink him and put him back on the same problem to get "the feel" I was going for).

Note - I do actually have a Holga and it creates really artistic, natural vignetting... I find it interesting that the more we move forward in technology, the more we strive to be old school cave-people...

Now that's out of the way... there is a new addition to the Eastside Bouldering crew (that is, if Abbie ever allows her to visit the Eastside)... I give you; Sad Daisy...


Daisy being sad that she is no longer the token barnyard animal of the Eastside crew... poor little pig dog...

No but really, we have a new dog. Her name is Sadie (which I would like to add is just a hodge podge of the sounds that make up the name, Daisy). She is a mix of Jack or Parson Russell terrier and hobo and goat... BEHOLD!!!

... and then Derek Spencer came to California (and by "and then" i mean prior to everything else in this blog, since it is exactly backwards)
