Remember Ella? Beautiful white dog with soft blue sky background. We are now making art for Ella and here she is in blazing color.
Ella’s proofs were inspired by the colors and textures of the Pacific Northwest. Ella’s mom will probably go with the one with the trees with a pinky sunset instead of orange. I myself like the beach shots because I have been spending a lot of time on the beach lately now that the sun is finally coming out. It’s about time!! I’m ready for summer!!
Ever since I got my fancy new macbook pro in early April I have been wanting to get all kinds of fun, fancy new things to go along with it. Although it has everything on it in the way of software one could ever want (Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop CS3 + Bridge CS 3, Lightroom 1.0, Dreamweaver, MS Office, etc, etc) it doesn’t yet have anything ON it in the way of casings or even a laptop bag, with the exception of the laptop bag that is part of my camera bag (Crumpler Whickey and Cox).
Laptop bag aside, I found something late last night online (yes, while in bed surfing the web on the mb pro), that has me positively drooling.
‘IT’ is a customized, colorful paint job by a company called colorwarepc.
Examples:
You can even do different parts of the frame in different colors- the backside, bottom, handrest and display frame are all customizable with about a billion different colors.
They even do ipods, imacs and also HD tvs!! I think there are other products available as well…
As far as I understand the process is done with automotive paint, with a clearcoat finish, and it is a super-tough, and permanent, (gorgeous) way to customize your ‘toy’. And after reading multiple user reviews it seems clear that it doesn’t affect the performance of any electronic equipment or part- even the scroll wheel on the ipod works as good as new!
You can either ship them your existing piece or purchase a new, pre-colored piece from them. You can even order color samples for $5 per sample before you order.
The downside? It voids your manufacturers warranty.
Otherwise, I would be all over the dark cherry color, with a metallic gold apple logo.
Still dreaming about it, still thinking about it. Might just have to get it done on my Blackberry. The tough part is just picking the color.
Aren’t these awesome!?
I just wanted to pop in and say hi and tell everyone that I am still alive. Since the commercial assignment ended early last week I have been doing a bunch of freelance photography for CityDog Magazine.
Love the dynamics of this shot below. Do you see the little boy in the background?
Seattle Pug Rescue‘s annual event ‘Pugmania’ last Saturday was a blast nonpareil.
By the end of the day my face hurt from laughing and smiling so much. I met so many adorable pugs and their wonderful, warm owners that it just filled me with joy all day. If I learned only one thing from Saturday it’s that pugs are quite possibly the most loving, affectionate and joyful breed as a whole out of any breed in existence.
My trigger finger was working overtime. I think I took over 700 pictures at the event. Which was very easy to do because apparently there were over 1,000 people and their pugs there. I was totally shocked at the massive turnout! Because I had a hard time picking my favorite images I am sharing a whole bunch with you guys here.
For those who don’t share my undying love for pugs, my apologies but you’ll just have to deal! 
Scooter below; completely blind but still manages to find his way straight into your arms for love and affection and to give you kisses with his long, long tongue. Scooter is currently being fostered and is available for adoption! He is SO super sweet! I don’t have words to express how awesome this guy is. So happy and gets around GREAT, even without his sight. I was shocked when his foster mom told me he was blind- you’d never know.
He was a bit shy until he learned I had yummy treats for him. He then hung onto that table for dear life until he thought the treats had all been consumed. Cracked me up.
