Personal Touch

In between the business of other activities, I just found this piccy of the farm from the other week. Although to me the photo has no real charm, it has a more personal touch to my wife who grew up with the view.

I also see in this photo a taste of some different photo-editing styles. I find it easy to limit myself to a small few styles of editing and imaging. However, I'm sure I would find things a lot more interesting with greater variation.

Back at school now with lots of assignment and exam prep to do, so not too much time to burn on these things currently; also finished off a couple of frames that have been put on my waiting list which was a good feeling.

Baby Shelving

Although this is not directly photography or frame related, I thought I'd post it anyway. Baby room preparations necessitated the making of two new shelves which I proceeded to make from second-rate and recycled jarrah.

I have enjoyed the learning process afforded in woodworking. Getting joins looking nice, correct angles, and pleasing finishes. One website I have found useful is the following:

As with the frames I make, accurate measurement is the key to arriving at a good finished product. If you are confident in measuring and cutting accurately, assembly is made a lot easier. However, the warped state of some of the recycled timber made some parts of assembly difficult.
