Working for Peanuts

Originally uploaded by Doc Stampede


So yeah. We had a “party” today at the company, to highlight the completion of a major acquisition that is supposed to be a very big deal to us all.

… The company’s idea of thanking us was to give us “treats” in a mini party.

…… Okay, I know that they were trying to do something, but given the huge endeavor that this was, and the company wide nature of it, yuathink they could have sprung for something more than peanuts?

… PEANUTS! We’re working for PEANUTS, PEOPLE, PEANUTS!

Okay, the desaturation combined with strong contrast curves just puts me in mind of the insane contrasty images from 300. Darn you Scooter, you’ve gotten me on this damned super-contrast kick..

POLLEN!!! Oh yeah, and HBW! :)

Um. Right. Project 365, Entry 177.

Kingdom Hearts worth… Hearts?

Originally uploaded by Doc Stampede


Eh?

Apparently the fact that these are original japanese Kingdom Hearts Foundation Arts Vol 1 series figures makes them worth some real money…

Anyone know how high a demand for these there is? When I saw them come out in blister packs I figured the value had decreased dramatically.

Of course, I actually really LIKE these figures, the detail is great..

A Post from the Wandering Doc

June 25th, 2008 No comments

Kinda brain dead to world at the moment. Sorry if I’m not too interesting these past few days.
Trying to come up with something fun but mostly want to sleep.
New PC has heartbeat. Any suggestions for a game that will show off the quad core / 9600GT combo?

Mucking around with the high contrast, overlaid desaturation bit that Scott’s been playing with.

Kinda fun, but I don’t know that I like it myself. Fun for this pic tho. :)

Photopost : 365′s for Today and A DIY Beauty Dish

June 21st, 2008 No comments

So, in doing some reading, I found some photos shot with what is called a “Beauty Dish” – yet another method of bouncing flash. Reading about this, I’m actually excited, and I think I’m going to have to build one.. Studio Lighting – Flash Mounted homemade DIY Beauty Dish or From Soup Dish to Beauty Dish | DIYPhotography.net

A couple of fun photos today for the various 365 pictures, one night shot and one sunset shot.
