GREETINGS!
How you be?
You be good?
YOU BETTER BE GOOD.
Anyway, things have been fine with me.
My Mac died.
WONDERFUL!
I haven’t used it that much since I went back to windows.
I do still use it for texting and emails.
However, I made the big mistake of upgrading it to the new macOS.
BAD MOVE.
It died.
Luckily, I didn’t have anything important on there.
I’ve learned from the deaths of many other computers to keep everything on an external drive.
Plus, I moved everything over to the new computer.
So I didn’t lose much.
I was able to revert it back to the old macOS that it had and I’ll leave it there.
All this happened today!
Fun day.
What else happened….. hmmmm.
OH!
I spent the night over at my Aunt’s.
Since she’s still gone, I saw it as a good opportunity to do something.
Almost 3 years ago…. It’s been that long…. Wow…….
I recorded a video involving…. Someone.
It was a great video.
It expanded the story!
Exciting things happened.
But… I never uploaded it.
I realized what the video really was.
The internal message.
The hidden meaning.
And I didn’t like it.
After I realized this, I decided to rewrite somethings.
I made it more, light and nice.
The original video’s subject matter was a big… aggressive.
There’s still a story in there and it does cover a serious topic.
It’s just in a better way.
I did all that re-writing a year after I shoot that video.
But I never got around to shooting the video.
Then recently, I was buying more clothes.
I can’t stop!
This time, it wasn’t striped shirts.
I got jackets to go with the shirts.
I bought a BOATLOAD of them.
All different solid colors.
The only color I don’t have is yellow.
That one was unavailable for some reason.
While buying the new coats, I noticed this plaid red and black one.
I had to get it!
My other red and black coat that I use for… someone…. Is old and falling apart.
It was perfect!
That got the spark back to re-shoot the video.
But I couldn’t at my house.
Dogs, people, no space to do anything.
That’s when I remembered… THE AUNT!!
Her house is all lonely and empty until she gets back.
So I packed up my things and went over there Saturday night.
I added new parts to the script of the video and went to bed.
I spend all of the following day re-shooting the video.
I DID IT.
I just now started to piece together what I shot.
It’s looking… promising.
ANYWAYS, that’s the big thing that happened.
What else…. Hmmmm.
OH!
The government took my money!
:-|
So I filled out my taxes.
It was all approved.
I get a letter in the mail says that it wasn’t paid.
…….Strange…..
It was just the state tax.
Ok.
So I looked at my bank stuff and I saw where the federal tax came out.
I kept looking and never for the state tax.
It never came out of my bank so the feds never got their money.
WEIRD!
So I had to fix that.
FUN TIMES!
ONTO THE PHOTO!
THE YELLOW PROJECT CONTINUES!
I’m continuing my journey.
Then I started to move to the next place.
Last week’s photo showed the corn next to the part, which connects it with this week’s photo.
I’m in the corn now!
This photo was a direct and purposeful call back to an old photo.
I was thinking about that photo when I did this photo.
I was worried it might have look toooooo similar.
There was another corny photo that I could have picked.
But I didn’t really like that one that much.
Neither did the Aunt!
Speaking of the Aunt… there was a conflict.
I asked if this week’s photo was too much like this one…
That’s the one I did four years ago.
That’s the one I was doing a call back too.
She was there when I shot it!
So I asked the question and she answered….
THE BLACK AND WHITE ONE.
I sent the other corn photo in the message as well.
So I thought she meant she liked the photo that looked like the black and white one.
Which would be this week’s photo.
BUT NO!
She wanted me to upload the black and white one.
THE ONE I ALREADY DID FOUR YEARS AGO.
I wasn’t going to do it.
I said no.
She sent me a facepalm.
SEE!
She didn’t seem happy.
She’s probably reading this.
HI!
Are you having fun?
If you liked the black and white one, tent it yellow (which is what she wanted me to do) and upload it yourself.
HAVE A GOOD DAY!
Moving on, once all that was decided I moved on to editing.
I wanted to have the same look and feel of the old photo from years ago.
So I cranked up the contrast and clarity.
Since I was in the corn, I wanted a lot of yellow in this photo.
IT’S THE YELLOW PROJECT!
So I shifted the greens and oranges to be yellow and oversaturated the yellows.
AND BOOM!
WE GOT YELLOW EVERYWHERE!
The last thing was to once again, fix my shirt.
Like with last week’s photo, the yellow wasn’t yellow enough.
So I boosted it to 12000%.
IT WORKED!
COMPARE!
There’s only one comparison this time.
The original and the final photo.
Hover your mouse (the computer one) over the original picture to see the after editing one.
If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.
WASN’T THAT NEAT?!?!
I like it.
I think it worked out.
WE’LL SEE IF THE AUNT APPROVES!
ONTO THE VIDEO!
This part of the video shows a majority of the photos being shoot.
I found a location to shoot the photos and I head out that way.
My favorite moment out of this series happens in this video.
I drive all the way out to that field.
Only to find... I left my yellow shirts at home.
I WAS MAD!
You can see it in the thumbnail of the video.
I love it.
I wasn't happy at the time, but everything worked out in the end.
Anyway! WATCH THE VIDEO!
That’s all I got, come back next week for the exciting new part.
We finally change locations and move on to a new area.
We still aren’t at our destination yet, that’s still two weeks away.
Come back next week for the next installment!
