I’ve been meaning to get better with my photography. I’ve been taught that the best photography doesn’t use filters and Photoshop Actions but I’ve come to realize that some of my favorite ones have been through filters or actions. So I’ve decided to start trying to use more of them.
For now I’ve purchased a few actions that are very complex (and saves about 30 minutes of editing time). My goal, in my spare time, is to learn exactly what these actions do, how to create it with out running the action and how to use them and tweak them to make my own style. I’ve always loved the very light style in photos, so that’s what I’m going for.
Speaking of working on stuff, James and I have decided to overhaul the office. James got a new computer for his birthday and so he needed a desk. The only way to get a desk in there is to basically do an overhaul and purge of the office. Every time we move, the office is “the dump” area. If we don’t know where something goes, we throw it in the office. This way it’s out of the way and the cats can’t get to it.
Not anymore! This past weekend we started the overhaul process. We bought James a desk and set up. It’s already saved us space! We also purchased a nice filing cabinet that is big enough to hold James’ tower (computer) and the printer as well as giving me more space for filing which I am in great need of. The filing cabinet also frees up two boxes in our closet which is really packed. This will make it easier for this weekend when James has to clean out the closet and put in shelves. He’s building a custom shelving system in the small closet which will give us more storage options and get this horribly broken plastic three drawer thing out of the closet. I have so many ideas on how to organize so I’m pretty excited. This also means that we will be able to find everything that we want to give to Goodwill and actually be able to drop off the stuff next weekend instead of it sitting in our office.
