The Peterazzi has been Busy, um wow,and has a lot of work to do argh..........
Category: peterazzi
So yes life of The Peterazzi is great some times. But it isn't all great all the time either. Yes photo taking for those out there is a good Hobby but sometimes it aint so easy.

So Wendsay day there was a bisons game to attand. Yeah it was a good time. Bisons won, food was good, weather was good. Of course The Peterazzi was out in full effect getting pictures of people on base and the players and runs..........

Thursday was a nice day off for The Peterazzi. But it wasn't really a day off from shoting. The fair with the niece and Sis was a good time, but of course there where Pictures of the neice to be had. Then all kinds of animals and crafts (stars wars and others). Then there where some shows so it was a big picture day. Then later that same night there where on top of pictures from the shows earlier there was Ultimate Night of distruction pictures to take. Those where not easy shots as much of the action was not on that part of the track but it was fun none the less.

Friday The Peterazzi went to Niagara Falls USA. Yes The Maid OF The Mist Photos where a lot of fun to be Taken by The Peterazzi. Some of them with all the water was like just point and see how they come out. That water was intense. Then other photos of the boat and from the boat where able to just take ones time and take. Then after the ride the Peterazzi got to see many other Pictrue Takers as he clibed the steps built into the rock up closer to the falls. Again lets not forget that The Peterazzi had a good time. That was followed by a trip to The Hardrock Cafe and more photos and great food.

So Saturday there was even more work for the Peterazzi. A return trip to the Fair. There was a great dog show, Deep Fried foods, A great tiger and lion show. Watching the Show Horses and Photos was interesting. Those ladies (not all but most) sure are pretty and so are the horses. It was pretty interesting. Then there where other Photos of the fair to be taken like that Organ type ride thing.

Now the Peterazzi still isn't done. He has a few pictures to take at a brunch today. He is also hoping that others besides him self are able to attend. Taking pictures and talking is sometimes tough to ballance. Besides that would make for better pictures anyways......

The Peterazzi isn't even sure how to get all the photos devolped and then they also need to be downloaded. Not to mention uploaded here and to a couple other sites. Oh yeah and then there is the paying for them also. So The Peterazzi has some thinking to do....... The Point is Being The Peterazzi isn't all fun and games, ARGh :)

Just wanted to add that the Brunch with (e:ladycroft) and (e:rory) was very nice...
metalpeter - 08/22/10 11:41
Some people who do digital don't print any photos, they put them on a computer and disc and online and share them that way. If you have pictures on say a CD yeah you can view them on a TV but there are two problems with that.
1. Tech changes and when (and at some point it might) CDs are no longer the format used to hold stuff then your pictures no longer are viewable (i have some pictures on hard disk that still haven't been converted to CD)
2. To view pictures you need some kind of device to view them

As with pictures that are printed you don't need any device they physicaly are there you just turn a page.

So Yes I print them. If a picture is un viewable then I delete it. I mean The Peterazzi deletes it.
paul - 08/22/10 11:02
I thought the whole point if digital is that you don't have to pay to have them developed- do you mean printed or have you gone back to non digital pics? I can't imagine having to pay for film conaiderong the amount of pictures we take.

weekend so Far Has been Great
Category: summer
So On Wendsday Night I went to the Bison's game and had a good time helps that they won and played well......

Thursday got to sleep in some. Went to the fair with my Sis and my niece. That was fun but a little intense at times. Later that night it was the ultimate night of destruction. Figure 8 racing bus and mini bus demolition and some monster truck freestyle. It is just to bad it was the same night as (e:ladycroft)'s dinner. The other down side is even though I had what I thought where decent tickets a lot of the action was hard to see. There where a couple fair things I missed so I think I'm leaving early sat to go and have fun again.

Today went and got my check from work and took care of some bills. Then treked out to the Falls for The Maid of the Mist and the HardRock Cafe (US side , don't have a passport or the legal equivalent of that). That was a good time. I got lucky and was early in line so picked a place up front, man some of that mist is intense, I tried to take pictures as I enjoyed it. The weird part was taking the 40 it has been some time since I've done that (used to take it 2 times a day for work), so that brought up some memories. All in all so far a great weekend. So to some up........

So far I have had a good weekend hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend........

Thing with the maid of the mist is that I learned is you have to have something to wipe the water off the camera, or maybe I just needed to be in one of the water modes or maybe be up top of the boat. Cause the spray (mist) soaks you so some pictures look good but some it is like water drops and mist. Hoping to start the download and upload process on sunday........
paul - 08/20/10 20:42
Glad to see you made it to the maid of the mist. Its pretty cool. I can never get any good pictures of it because it is too wet and I don't want to ruin my gadgets. Someday I want to go with like an underwater camera, lol. The cave of the winds is pretty cool too. You can see it from the maid of the mist, its where the people walk up to the falls of those wood structures,

The Expendables
Category: movies
So the expendables has a bunch of action stars in it. If you like action movies you will like this. I can't say what I would have liked to see with out giving anything away. I had a good time. I'm still hoping to see Salt, maybe next weekend or maybe I'll go someplace we shall see...... That being said Tonight it was either Transformers or Inglorious Bastard's I'm going with Inglorious I think, wish I had it on dvd, One of the versions I guess you can watch that entire German movie they are watching. I found out the other day this movie is a remake. I was flipping channels and saw (IFC or Sundance) about 10 of a movie called The Inglorious Bastards Wish I knew it was on before there was some scene is some type of truck where the one guy wanted to go to America and open up some kind of store after the war, just like in the "New" version. Yes it is a little heavy on the talking but I still want to rewatch it anyways............

Morvells
Category: summer
So On Tuesd. I went down to the final Bidwell Park way series and it was insane.

1. Take down the stupid rope thing all it does is cause more problems and takes away some of the lawn.

2. Kids having there version of a mosh pit was crazy

3. Next time have to get there early if I want to be in the middle.

4. I get blankets and chairs but there where multiple parties with multiple tables.

I did go to Zillycakes before hand:

I wish I could have seen the indian dancers. Next year I will make sure to plan better for that. I really don't get what sea lions have to do with an inland county fair. Sometimes, I feel like they are just reaching too hard to include everything.
metalpeter - 08/14/10 17:45
Well what I will say again (yes I lost a comment on my own blog). Is that I only saw the kids during the 2nd half of the show since I moved. When the kids where running around it did kinda look like a circle pit. Sometimes they where caring a kid by arms and legs, all the kids seemed to be having a great time in that open field. When the fire truck (no emergency that I know of) I thought they where going to at at like warped tour and turn on the hose and turn it into a mud pit, HA. It was hot but I guess not that hot..............

"kids having their own version of a mosh-pit"

LOL

Various Photos
Category: photos
So not sure what to do Sat.... One part wants to fly out to the fair even though I'm seeing distruction there on Thurs.... Another part wants to go to falls and see if the Maid of the mist is going on.... Then I also want to see the Expendables and maybe buy some lunch stuff..... That last one is what I'm leaning towards....

Where Nki's was now looks like it is some kind of Record store

On Saturday I went to see more Art at Blink and 464 But had to cut it short because I wanted to see The Hall of Fame inductions as well. That was part of what got me to write the post about how I have many tastes.

1. Not going to the falls or the Fair today but it would be a good time (to late)
2. Hoping to go to a movie soon, gotta get files off of here things are so slow...
3. That tree is at Grant and Amherst I'm not sure if it is 100% finished or not but 464 & Blink aka Mind web where invovled with the painting of it

4. I was just glad the camera caught it in that color that is pretty close to how it looked to me......
paul - 08/14/10 12:19
The maid of the mist would be so refreshing today, however, waiting in line for it would suck. Nice photos. I love it when the sky is the color of the bottom pics. Where is the tree picture painted on a house. I somehow missed that.
