For some reason I feel like I don't have time to update my site as often as I'd like. This is despite the fact that I am staring at a computer 90% of my time each day. I remember how I used to write long posts a year ago, and now it has somehow turned into just a bunch of photos. I often see, hear, and do things that make me think "Hey! I gotta post that on my site!". Somehow nothing ever makes it.
I try to tell myself "Hey, I'm busy" but when I really look at it, I'm working on things that made me busy a month or two or three ago, then, every time I think about that, I get depressed that I am not moving. I hate feeling like nothing is changing. I suppose it's my parents fault for making me watch too much TV when I was a kid. It must have totally destroyed my attention span.
In actuality though, much is happening and much is changing. It's all stuff I can't really write about on the site yet, cause I don't know who might be looking. I am putzing around on too many projects, and always find that I am daydreaming about some new project, which I can't possible even start if I don't finish what I have now... Luckily one of the "projects" I am working on now is officially called "Master Photoshop". It could fit in with posting lots of photos to my site... but manipulating an image takes way too long. If I play with an image or two, I only have time left for incoherent babbling for the rest of my post...
More photos of Tokyo in October
Hi Kevin,
To help you on your way to "Master Photoshop," I suggest you pick up a copy of the following book (that is, if you haven't done so already):
Scott Kelby, The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, New Riders Publishing, 2003.
I thought I knew quite a bit about Photoshop until I read it...
:-)

Great pictures, Kevin, but man, your site is getting heavy. I hope you do not have any readers on dialup!
Thanks Andrew, I'll check it out
Gary, as for dial up users...it's my feeling that if we make our sites with these people in mind, they will be forever content with their 1990s connection and never upgrade. It's holding the Internet back.
Much like coding your site so it is viewable on NS 4... just because some people still use it.
That and I have lots of pictures and I can't show em all if I don't put them on the site. I'm not a big fan of thumbnails on the top page.
Oh yaeh, and at the very time you were viewing my site, I was messing around with the server, and using most of it's resources for something else. So it was probably even slower than usual.
Waiting to move into my new house, I still have a dialup (46,6666 bps now!) connection. Seen from here your site appears not to be very fast to load, but the wait seems acceptable. And then the newest pictures appear immediately, so you have to wait more only if you hadn't visited the site for many days.

I like how your last shots are becoming more and more experimental.
