PhotoPop Class

Here is another photoshop assignment. Had to make a movie poster. Enjoy.

Today's Forecast

Today was wierd. It rained, and it was windy, and it was hot as hell, but you know what? It all paid off, because I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. Here is a shot that I took. I am currently working on removing the wires from a similar shot. Ill probably do the same for thsi one. Stay tuned for the cleaned version. Enjoy todays.

Your power is: Super Strength

Explanation: Your gift is rather self
exlainig. But to clear things up, you have been
given a power that makes you extremly strong.
This is of course speaking in pyshical terms.
When doing good deeds the power could be used
as helping people in e.g. fights or those under
a fallen building etc. For bad purposes the
power could simply kill/beat anyone until the
gifted gets his way.
You are however as a person on the good side.
You are the leader type and have a tendancy to
look at the whole picture rather than details.
That could make you come off as inconsiderate,
but that's far from the truth. You can be
impulsive and aggressive but you mean no harm
with it. Sometimes it can even save you. If you
were to be in a group with others who have
super powers you would be focusing more on them
and the situation rather than yourself. So to
even it out, you can be egotistical at times,
but it's because you ignore your needs every
once in a while. You are responsible and brave
but could still be seen as reckless.
Negative aspects: Since you focus on the
team/family/group of friends you could start
thinking that they don't care about you since
they don't seem to look after you the way you
do to them. Also you could intentionally
endanger yourself (even in everyday life) when
doing descicions without thinking it through
that much. But a leader with more sense of
responsibility does not however come off as
reckless, but logical.

Relating to another post

Here is the post that this was originally a reply to:

Fiddlestick Forest

Ill tell you how. It is because everyone is so used to the idea that life sucks, that if it sucks just a little more, its okay. Well, its not. Life still sucks, and sometimes it sucks more. It a game where you get points and you lose alot more, and sometimes you gain em back, and sometimes you dont. So what is the point of playing this fucking game? Cause there is nothing better to do. So you play and play and play, and then in the end you tally your points, and if you still have some left, then life was worth living. The only catch is, you can never drop below one point. And that is what some people dont understand. That as long as you have life, there is always one point that you have left to invest and gamble away, and no matter how many times you lose it, it keeps coming back as long as you have life. Im putting this on my blog, but you can have it, too.

Tonight

I write this with tears in my eyes. Tonight, I died. This may be my last post in a while. I dont want to live. I dont feel the urge. I dont know how to live, but Im sure Ill find a way, eventually. Please dont call me right away, if you plan on it, unless you killed me.

And On

Another, "What the hell is this doing here?" moment. Enjoy.

Our Story Continues

Here we are. More Olympic. You'll be seeing other stuff soon anyway. Enjoy.

More workpost

Well, thought Id quickly post some more of what I do at work. Just dont ask how much it pays, unless you want to see me cry.

Its no Sting, but it is a Desert Rose (<---that is the name of the rock)



Is it natural? Hell no. Do we sell it? Hell yeah. This is man made carborrundum, but I have no idea if thats how it's spelled.



It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a... Fossilized Sharktooth in Sandstone? Daaaamn right. Bow down, bitches.

< /work pics >

At work, I slash dot and shoot. This is what I shoot when I dont slash dot.

Another Side Step

Tomorrow will be another step forward, I promise. But for now, more 32D.

Side Step

I saw a band. Im posting some of my photos for teh next couple days. Ill try to make it quick. Enjoy.

Here we go again.

Day 2, the journey continues... Enjoy.

Advanced Photoshop, Assignment 1

For my first asssignment this semester, I had to make 5 Mandalas using photoshop, and using only gradients and filters. Kinda cool to do, cause you never know what youre going to get. Here are my 5. Enjoy.

This just in

Something I shot at work. I kinda like it. Enjoy.

Resume

And so day 2 continues... Enjoy.

Real World Update

Read this:

A gamers view of Katrina

Made me think, and want to help. Do what you can. 'Nuff said.

Im Sorry...

Because of the overwhelming spam I have been recieving, I have decided to turn on word varification. I hate that crap, and I apologize to anyone else who finds it to be a nuisance, but it is a necessary evil. Well, here is a photo of the walk back on the beach. Enjoy.

What the...?

Dont know what it is, but it was in the woods as we were walking. Enjoy.

Heres Web in Your Eye!

Day 2 continues

Day 2

Took a hike to a nearby lake ozette. Was walking along the coast, actually in the tide area, when I saw him. He was angry. Enjoy.

Meant to be...

This guy was sitting at the camp site we chose. We arrived and ther he was. I couldnt help but shoot him. Some deep down need to shoot toys came over me, and how could I say no? Enjoy!

OOPS!

I completely forgot to update these past few days. School started, and Ive had many things on my mind. Anyway, Here's todays pic. Enjoy!

Quick Survey

Should I continue to post LOTS of photos of the trip to give you as big of an overall picture as I can, or shall I spare you all the little things and just post the absolute creme-of-the-crop photos?

Scouting

While looking for a decent campsite the first day, I came across this guy. He was'nt shy at all. He came right at me, as I was shooting him. I kinda thought that he'd turn around when he saw me move, but he didnt. He just kept coming. All the photos you see from this trip were shot without a major zoom lens. I ended up climbimg up a tree to get out of his way and make sure I didn't get skewed. He eventually wadered off, leaving me up a tree with pictures. I got down and continued looking for a site. Anyway, here's the pic. Enjoy.

Max Pack

Our Backpacks weighed ALOT. We walked ALOT. Fuuuuun. Enjoy.

Trois

First Steps

This is where we begin our hike in. This is at the Ozette Trail. Im only doing one photo per day, for now, but that may change soon. Enjoy.

Wahhhhhh-shington

First of all, what is with all the freking blog spam? Seriously? What the hell happened while I was gone?

On another note, here is the first of a new photo series coming. It will semi document my adventures through washington and canada, and the eventual ride home. Well see how much of it actually gets out here. But anyway, here is some eye candy to start it off. I may or may not hold to the order that events actually happened. Enjoy.

Today is my Birthday.

I turn 21. Dont know what Im doing yet, seeing as how I dont drink. Id go to vegas if I wasnt leaving for washington on friday. Well see... Oh, party at my house tomorrow. If you dont know where I live, but you have my phone number, youre invited, so just call me to get my address.

Break Time, continued

So I was taking a little break, and I am going to now take a longer one. Maybe youll get another post after this, but I will be leaving on vacation sunday, so thought Id warn whoever reads this that Ill be gone a couple weeks.

Fresh and New

Check out my new web page!!! Let me know what you think.

dansandoval.com

Seagull at Sea

Here is a new photo from my San Francisco trip. I liked the original photo, but I was really in a photoshop mood, so this is what you get. Was I right, or was I wrong to do this? You tell me. Enjoy.

More El Salvador

Here is another photo from my travels in El Salvador. Taken while climbing the Volcano Isalco.

Are you a gamer?

If your answer to that question is a "yes", I think you will really enjoy the articles in this new magazine. If your answer is "no", then I still think youll enjoy some of the articles in this web mag. Read it. Enjoy it.

A Kind Memory

Here is a starscape that I did while in the Eastern Sierras. This one is for those of you who remember. What you see in the foreground is a tree that was painted in with flashlights with gels. Its been edited, just a little. ;) Enjoy.

4 out of 10

Here is another of my final 10. The printed versions are much better. Enjoy.

Its Too Damn Hot

This is a dog that I saw lying under a car, just chillin' like a villain, on the border of El Salvador and Guatemala. Just thought Id share.

Revisiting El Salvador

I realize that I never put up any photos from when I was in El Salvador, and since I am not going to be able to go this summer, like I originally planned, I will post up photos of my last trip. Eventually, youll get a nice collection, but for now, you just get one. Here is a panoramic that I constructed out of 5 of my photos. If you want to see a bigger version of it, let me know, and Ill consider putting it up. Probably a link to a page with just that photo. Enjoy.

Because I got CS2

I just got the new photoshop, and wanted to use it, so you all get this. It is one of 10 images used as part of my final 10 images for my previous photo class.

Re-Visiting the Pier

Well, I tried to see if I can recreate the fire hydrant shot (which got lost on my now dead HD), and got this instead. As for the hydrant, they repainted it, so it dont look nearly as cool. Ill try again in a couple months.

In Memory of....

Well, I assume My harddrive that died has gone completely. I cry for thee. In tribute, I will post one of the photos that I didnt lose from it, but came very close to. You'll have to find it, though. Go to A Temporary Page. Leave me comments on what you see, including design and font/color choices. It is a stepping stone for my actual site. PLEEEEEEAAAAASE. Thank you. :)

Another One from the North

Still Catching up from Stockton/Frisco Trip. Enjoyeeee.

More Frisco

Because of Xiao, I post today. And now to sleep I must go away.

E3

E3 ROCKED!!!! I got to meet some awsomely cool people, and got to play halo 2 against some of the best girls out there, PMS Clan. I had tons of fun, and got alot done. Stay tuned for more soon.

Another Day, Another Post

Halo tournament underway. Its crazy, but fun. Great experience, but Im tired as hell. Here is a photo anyway. Its another penguin from San Fransisco.

Topsy Turvy

The upside down waterfall, as was previously discussed. It was really cool, actually. What would happen is that at the top of the plateu that was previously shown, there was a spring that flowed to the edge of a cliff. Once it got there, it would start falling off when suddenly, a hell of alot of wind would come and pick it up and deposit it at the top once again. When I was first walking by, I thought it was drizzling. What you see below is Ngoc's first encounter with the phenomenon. It was funny not to tell her what to expect.

A Step From Nirvana

On top of a plateu in Northern California. Somewhere around the nuts and Sac. Very beautiful. Thank God I got us there, even though Id never been there, because the person who had been there before would have gotten us quite lost.

Mr. Mouse and Mr. Flowers

Well, I told you more from my trip would be coming. These are from San Francisco. We were in a park, and it was big, and we walked. I shot these in the process of guiding a pack of followers. TESTIFY!

And more work!

This one, I actually kinda like. I think Ill try to re-create it in studio, but with more in the scene. I'll have to talk to my boss. Disfruta la fruta de yogur Yoplait!

And because I feel generous...

Here I am as a child. May you enjoy. Bring on the ridicule.

To days gone by

Seems I have lost the readership I once had. Alas alas, days of glory have gone away. Ah well. I like penguins. This is from a trip I recently made to San Francisco. Ive been really busy with school, so have not updated much, but more is coming, SOON. STAY TUNED!

I really hate the new firefox. SOOOO glitchy. I think Im getting sick. Im stressed out. I need spring break to come back. What I really had was spring break my back trying to catch up with work. Ces't la vie!

Great Story.

At work. Kinda bored. Shooting stuff like this:

It is a testament to the quality of my opinions that people attack my grammar and spelling.

Aint it the Truth
