So I've decided I like sticking to a theme during the week and switching to a different theme on the weekends so I can get a chance to pull things from my recent shooting about town, from my life, or deep from within the archives. After posting the image from yesterday I figured I was safe to find an image for Sunday.

I could have posted one of the many boring but pretty Velvia shots of fall leaves but that would be boring. I don't want to do that. Anything is better than boring. We'll save the boring for when winter reaches Minnesota and all of us living in the Northern climates forget what color looks like.

I reached back to 2000 when digital cameras were for early adopters, shaped like bricks, and buying flash memory required taking equity out of your home. Ah, how times have changed. Luckily, my processing ability has improved too.

I purchased my trusty DSC-S70 in Akihabara in a dodgy cash-only shop with my friend Fujii. It weighed in at a handsome 3.3MP (2048x1536!) and was my best friend until I did not lock the tripod key into the tripod properly while taking a self-portrait and it took a tumble to the black-top of the driveway below. The lens never quite moved correctly after that.

I've recropped, removed noise, adjusted levels, added grain and a slight vignette. I have a feeling you'll either like this shot a bit or hate it a lot. Let me know what you think!

Have a happy sunday!
