Sunday blogger: I realize I've become a de facto Sunday blogger. This last week was about as busy as any I can remember since joining Adobe and, of course, the holidays are upon us. True, I promised not to blog unless I had something to say, but there's also the 'getting old' factor. After getting home late and making dinner, blogging hasn't come easily in the 2 hours or so before bedtime (we rise at 6 AM for the morning jog), particularly when a glass or two of Pinot Noir has been in the picture.

So, today, I did veg (vedge?) a bit. Linda and I walked the 3 or so miles over to Stanford Stadium to glimpse the demolition underway, and I took along the Leica (I had so much fun with it set to B&W last weekend). I came home with a couple dozen snaps that I processed on the Linux AMD-64 box (it's been so long since I've used it, its X-11 server had crashed without me noticing).

A hard reboot (Fedora Core 3 has a journaled file system, so I took the easy way out), and I was pretty quickly viewing files in GNOME and editing them in GIMP (snappy performance on the 64-bit processor). The jpeg above was edited in the GIMP, and the larger linked file was edited in Phostoshop CS on a Mac (source file is here). As mentioned, before, I love the Leica's B&W rendering: this image looks like a digital version of Tri-X Pan, my most favorite emulsion...
