Did this a while back but with Muammar al-Gaddafi being all dead and stuff now, thought I would post it.
Haters Gonna Hate!
Got a little bored towards the end of the day today at work and was trying to figure out a new pose to put my Stormtrooper in. Started moving him around and noticed that he looked a little like the Leonardo Dicaprio in the Haters Gonna Hate pics I’ve seen on the web for a while. So I put some paper behind him and took a picture. Seemed like it was missing something so I found a picture of some Star T†rek action figures and stuck them in the background so it looks like they are the haters. (which they are….)
The Temple
Drove past the Ballpark in Arlington today. Always love seeing it. To bad that dang Cowboy Stadium is so close to it. Brings the property value down I’m sure.
Jackson Fett
I’m a Star Wars nerd. Have been since I was a little kid, even before I saw the films I guess cause the first one I saw in the theater was Return of the Jedi. But when I was younger I had a bunch of the toys and bed sheets and stuff. Actually still have an Empire Strikes Back pillow case. Obviously I don’t still sleep on it (much), but I still have it.
But since I don’t have any kids of my own to introduce Star Wars to, I’m having to teach Jackson, my nephew, all about the Star Wars universe. I’ve got him liking Boba Fett, which was one of my favorite characters.
So I heard on a Star Wars podcast last week that Target had dropped the price some on their Boba Fett helmets. Off to Target we went and of course they didn’t have any in stock. So we went to Walmart and they had two on the shelf. It was great to see Jacksons face light up with that big smile when he saw it. I took a picture of him standing there in the aisle with it.
We ended up stopping by my parents house after the store and I put the helmet together for him. It was a bugger to get out of the box, it was tied down in so many places. Then had to figure out how to get the fitted part right so that it sat on his head the right way. The helmet is way to big for him right now but he’ll grow into it. Hopefully it’ll last that long.
Remember me?
Haven’t done an update in a long while. Was just telling a friend she needed to get a blog/site going for her new family and remembered I’m not even doing anything to keep up with mine.
So… In case you didn’t know I also have another site, dedicated to my photography business. Check it out some time at Jerry Lawrence Photography
I do portraits for familys, couples, singles, seniors, engagements and weddings. Will soon be doing a newborn. Looking forward to giving that a try.
Need to start posting more iPhone pictures on here straight from the phone. (posting this entry from the iPhone while watching the Dallas Strikeforce fights on the internets). I have a few favorite apps I love for photography. Love Camer+, it does most of my editing and since they added adjustment controls for each of the effects it’s an outstanding app. Pictureshow is another that has tons of effects to choose from. Don’t see it mentioned much but it’s one I tell folks to check out when they want a cool photo app. And when I remember to use it Halftone is another fun photo app. Turns you photo into a comic strip looking picture. You can add text and choose what kind of paper to use.
Here’s some samples from these apps in action.
Dallas Comic Con 2011
Went to my first Comic Book Convention. It was at the new Irving Convention Center. The place even looked like a Sandcrawler from Star Wars a New Hope. Very cool looking building. I never have really been much into comic books. Had a small collection of them when I was younger. I enjoyed most of the franchise movies like Superman, Batman, X-Man, and Spiderman. But what I really wanted to see there were Star Wars items. That’s my favorite group of movies and books. Was also hoping to see a bunch of people dressed up. And I got to see it. This year they had some special guest doing autographs and pictures. Only one would I have stood in line for, Carrie Fisher. But it was $50 for her autograph and I could hardly afford to get in the door at that place with the $20 entry fee, at least there was free parking and shuttle rides. Leonard Nimoy and Stan Lee were the other big names there. I did end up sneaking a picture of Stan Lee though I got in trouble right after I took the picture. “Oh we can’t take pictures?”
