Title: Party Part 1 Halloween 2009

Entry: So Here is the thing some pictures are very dark some are good and some are a mix. Based on the small size I can't tell how they will look so I think I will just post them in order and hope I don't miss any. Hope people like them and that they are ok. I need to find the right setting to take pictures inside in dark settings, I think there is away to make the ISO level standard but I'm not sure if yet how to do that. I need to figure that out before when ever the next e:strip party is.















































































































Not sure what my favorite costume was there where a bunch of good ones. I thought it was cleaer that Louis was with Peter who was dressed as I assumed Peter Pan but maybe I got that wrong. Then the Tower's as pirates was awesome.. It was a great time thanks to everyone who showed up and e:PMT for hosting it and changing the night so there was no wedding conflict.





































































































































































One Of the tough things with having a ton of pictures is you are often not sure where to call it or cut the blog to start part 2 it is tough to tell how many you have up and how it will be viewed by others so for now this is the end of Part 1. Hope someone enjoys the pictures of someone.

Well Part 2 is today. In terms of editing them I wish I had time. In the past I have tried with other software and what happens is some of them come out see able, but often what happens is the stuff with some light gets brighter but so does everything else and often there is just not enough light to enhance that.

Nice party pics as always. We have been dying for their release. So much fun.

(e:mike) and (e:paul) best costume and most naked. not surprised, but i liked it!

I think Oscar the Grouch was one of my favs. Somehow I missed that (e:Mike)'s sun was actually colored yellow - in the foyer it just looked white with glitter! Much cooler in the kitchen.

I liked the Xmas subtheme - (e:enknot), (e:paul), (e:libertad), my random acquaintance Kristen, and extending it some to (e:zobar) and the gladiator.

Thanks for taking pix, (e:Metalpeter)!

If you're using Picasa to export them in an appropriate size for estrip, you can also use it to edit before exporting. By double-clicking on any picture in the library, you open it to the editing screen. That lets you determine if it's a good enough picture, or maybe it needs some help like "fill light" which will lighten up the whole thing, or it's just crap and needs to be deleted. I delete nearly 50 percent of my shots, adjust some, and only post the best ones that really help illustrate the story I'm telling.

The "I'm feeling lucky" button will make a bunch of automatic adjustments that picasa thinks the picture might need. The nice thing about picasa is that it saves your changes and your original photos automatically so you don't lose anything by accident. There's also a very handy "undo" button in case you don't like what you changed.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for taking pics. I really need to get a camera. Mine disappeared at new years and my phone takes sucky pictures in low lighting.

Title: Hallowedding Weekend

Entry: So I just wanted to quickly say thanks to e:PMT for having the Halloween Party and being great hosts and everyone who went and had a great time. Also thanks to everyone who worked on the wedding and the reception it was great. Also sorry to e:vincent that my tiredness caused me to not hang out I really should have. Also sorry I didn't get that all the e:peeps where going to be kinda in the same area at the wedding. That being said it was a great time. I will start adding pictures soon but do to lack of time I will just put up a couple that kinda cover the sentiment.























Couple of Notes the shoes are e:leetee and was it e:Jason's or Josh's I can't remember. The Cake is Nightmare Before Christmas. Loved the movie theme of the tables. The Lady with me is Cindy and if memory serves correclty she is Keith Tower's women not sure if he has a page on her but I know his brother does. By the way great pirate costumes by the way by all 3 of them. Not sure what pictures I should post next? Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend.

Putting them up was supposed to happen today but with trying to catch up looks like it will take a couple of days to get the pictures up.

Can't wait to see the rest of the party pics.

Title: Fall Colors

Entry: First of all this has been and will be a crazy week. On Monday I went to wrestling. It was fun and crazy on the floor. It looks like my pictures came out dark so I'm not going to post them, I did a few on facebook and then gave up. Then coming up Friday is e:strip party, then Saturday is the wedding, wow that came fast. Then there is also the reception I'm really hopping that it will be a great time. I wonder if I will get any sleep at all? Well if you follow me on facebook you may have allready seen this pictures from around my neck of the woods. I wish I had time to like go to Hoyt lake and take pictures from other parts of the city but I don't.















































































I just hope the little bit of sickness I have is gone by then. Hey who knows maybe I can sleep all day Sunday, in any event it should get interesting, hope someone liked these pictures.
