We heard about the renaissance fair from a friend on facebook. Having never been to one, we decided to check it out. It was much, much larger than we thought. We had a good time and I took a lot of photos.

The Best Teacher in the World Retires!

Now I can't prove it but I honestly believe that my mom is the best teacher in the world. Why to I think that? Mostly because she's my mom, but also because she is the most loving person I know and she genuinely cares about her students. She works incredibly hard and is basically the coolest person I know.
I shot this with Vignette but left my normal Toy Camera setting for the Velvia setting. The big issue with cell phone cameras is that they typically lack contrast and saturation. This setting adds both and gives you pretty amazing performance and some awesome images!

Who is it?

I have done quite a bit of real estate photography and continue to do it on a limited basis, mostly just for a few clients. This is the door of a home I shot today. I found the old-school peep hole concept cool.
As has become the norm, the image was shot with Vignette in the toy camera mode. That's the mode that I typically keep the phone in for if I just need to shoot something quickly. I like what it does to the normally dull cell camera photos.

Needed, One Lawnmower

Now I don't like to judge...okay, that's a lie...of course I do. In my not-so-humble opinion as someone who's photographed about 5000 homes for sale, I'd say that maybe if they're trying to sell their house--which they are--perhaps they should invest in some sort of lawn-shortening implement.
Shot with Vignette on the Toy Camera setting. Have I mentioned that I love this app?

Owie!

Pictureline is the the best photography store on the planet. Shop there if you want to be cool. Why? Because they are cool. Berkley has often been my personal gear consultant as I bathe in the gear porn that is Pictureline.
Unfortunately, Berkley is apparently a bit clumsy. This is his ankle. You go, Berk.
Photographed, of course, with Vignette for Android--if only Vignette had an X-ray mode...
