who knew feathers could be dramatic?

this scanagram thing is really fun. and it's super simple. just lay items on the scanner, leave it open and scan. leaving it open is what gives the dramatic black background. the fun is in arranging the items on the glass, just so. it's rather addictive. i love how the feathers turned out, especially the little dotty woodpecker ones. beautifully dramatic. perhaps something for our upcoming spring exhibition, where the theme is tæt på (close up)?

100 happy days :: day 44

scanner + bobbaloos + free online gif-maker = today's happy

also part of today's happy - hillary + kittens. the kittens are ready. we are ready. ready for hillary.

scanagram* aka my new obsession

i can't find the link now, but a few weeks ago, i saw some photos of cats perched on a scanner and i decided i wanted to try it. today, during my bunny photoshoot, i remembered and popped the baby bunnies onto the scanner to give it a try. i also tried scanning tobias, but a full grown cat just doesn't look as cute scanned as a baby bunny at peak cuteness does. and then afterwards, i just started scanning whatever was at hand...nail polish and minifigs. there will undoubtedly be more tomorrow.

* with thanks and full credit to molly for the name scanagram.

in a photo kinda mood

i've been putting my negative scanner to use today, scanning old negatives in preparation for tomorrow's post, so i've totally neglected today's post...you'll see why tomorrow. and while i still owe willow an ode to the letter "i," i'm just going to give you some of the pix i scanned today, because i'm off to dinner with a friend...

husband in san francisco - december 1998

we took turns posing in that spot.

it was new year's eve and we had rented bikes and gone for a long ride across the golden gate bridge and back.

even burned up buildings are beautiful in san francisco
