Roots
Okay, so this picture is not what it seems at first glance. While I did get a picture of him holding the controller perfect (complete coincidince) I didn’t get that AND the screen in the same shot. So this is some fancy Photochop scripting to make it work.
It was pretty fun. I was sitting there listening to the podcast music and decided to pull out the game from the mystery song. We were playing that for a while and then switched to Galaga. Andrea and I had fun challenging each other’s scores. I remember Mom could get perfect scores on the “Challenging Stages” in between the levels. We didn’t do that good! Hehe.
It was a night of good old school fun!
What a good lookin’ guy.
6 Months Old. Must have got all his good looks from Momma. I know he didn’t get them from me!

06.20.11More Colorizing Stuff – Ye Olde Pump
Original
Color-rific!
Something to do
I think I have an idea. If I can find the resources, I think I’m going do some video editing. Need to dust off my editor… and my skills. Stay tuned!
A few more Guild Wars locales.
I haven’t posted one of these in a while. Gotten back into Guild Wars again recently. Lately as I’m going around I’m taking the time to appreciate some of the scenery. The artists and designers really created some breathtaking stuff. Well breath taking for a 3-5 year old video game anyway.
The original Guild Wars: Prophecies is over 5 years old. In the video game world, that is ancient. Still... the original has some of the most beautiful and detailed scenes. Sometimes in places you walk by all the time. Here is Old Ascalon City.
Autumn in Ascalon.
The second chapter: Factions is most people's least favorite out of the three games. However I find the world to be absolutely beautiful. Most of my favorite scenes come from Guild Wars: Factions.
Plauge or not, living in Kaineng City would have to be just people living on top of people. Some of the towing structures are towing shacks that look like they'll topple if you look at it too long. Others are quite a bit nicer... like this one.
Heck, this is just the login screen.
Waterfalls are always cool. And there's no shortage of them in Guild Wars.
I don't want to go in there... do you? I have a feeling that's not a fluffy rabbit hole.
Gateway to Istan from Guild Wars Nightfall. How do they even imagine awesome architecture like this?
Freshened up the place.
B.G. Willers 3.0 I guess you could call it. Stuck with the old theme for a couple years which was a nice slick theme. But this theme was released recently and it seemed kinda fancy, but not over the top. Give it a shot I guess. Maybe it will inspire me to post more! haha
04.29.10More fun with the camera.
There’s a thread on one of the Oldsmobile sites I visit that had folks posting night-time pictures of their dashboard and interior. Long exposure pictures always look cool, and I love taking pictures of my car, so I sat down and fiddled with some of the features on our camera and here’s what I came out with.
Amazing mind trip!
Okay, this is what you do when you have amazing skills. Check out the photo this fella took. Looks pretty good for late 50’s photography. As I’ve posted before, I love taking old photos like this and “colorizing” them to kind of experience what it would have looked like if you had actually been there.
But a fella named Micheal Paul Smith took the concept just a bit further. And all he needed was a nice camera, a little photoshop touch-up, and some serious skills!
This is a real photograph. No colorization at all.
How’d he do it? Would you believe those cars are just models he built!?
Micheal Paul Smith.
WOW! Just WOW! He has truly done some amazing work. Check out his slideshow if you ever get a chance!
08.30.09Another old timey picture.
Click for full size.
If it looks a little bit “off”, it’s because this picture was originally black and white, and I’ve had it around for a while and I color a little bit on it in photoshop when I get bored. It’s not done, but it’s kinda like a puzzle, you just work on it a little bit at a time. Here’s a link to the original file. I’ve had it for a while, but don’t think I’ve ever shared it. So there ya go.
