Pearl Dogs

Tonight at Pearl Real Estate I'm involved with a First Thursday event, Dogs in the Pearl. The Pearl is a very dog friendly place and the event is a bit of a celebration of that. The local animal hospital will be there as will several dog stores and me. I'm showing images from the May/June issue of Explore the Pearl. It was the pet issue so I've got more than enough (over 1000) shots of dogs. I've just finished putting together the slide show for the evening. Not too over whelm people, the show is a bit less than 50 slides and has a running time of 132 seconds.

I put the show together in iPhoto, which is great for just throwing something together but a bit tedious. Especially using the Ken Burns effect. Makes for an interesting slide show but tedious. Since I was sequencing several images of each dog, the motion allowed me to tell a little story with each sequence, adding a lot to the end result. Below is a link to the slide show on YouTube, have a look and let me know what you think.

Pearl Real Estate is located at the corner of Lovejoy and 14th, the event is from 6 - 8PM.

Sorry about the related video menu that pops up when you roll over the video. I'm searching how to turn it off. If anyone knows please tell me.

Creative Expression

This car was spotted parked near the Armory on Memorial Weekend, and shows why it pays to have a digital point and shoot in your pocket. I don't know why I like art cars, but I do. Its not quite in-your-face but it is anti $5K rims, hydraulics, jacked up, booming stereo with HDTV, toy loaded car where you spent more on the toys than you did the Toyota Corolla you stuffed them all in.

There is something much more basic and raw about gluing a bunch of thoughtfully organized crap on your car. I love ‘em. So I hope you can appreciate the following pictures.
