Saturday Pic of the Day: Graf

Spotted this stencil during the summer of '07 underneath the I-405 freeway near Pettygrove or Raleigh St. Touched it up a little bit in Photoshop Express, added contrast and sharpened the glasses details. Hope you like.

Photoshop Express

I'm a total noob when it comes to editing images on my computer. Give me some scissors and some glue stick and canvas and I can do some serious photo editing. With a vengance. But now, the people at Photoshop have released a free on-line version of their software, and it's pretty user friendly to navigate and set-up. Here's my first image that I created in about 2 minutes. It's two geese from a couple of weekends ago when Bree and I went down to the river at Willamette Park to drink some whiskey and soak up the sun. The male in front was definately randy, and I think he was leading his lady goose to a secret spot on the sand for some early spring nookie.... Sounds like a good idea!

Pista pic

Here's the latest incarnation of the Pista. Took the Brooks off of the Obey Fuji to get it broken in a little. It's still a little stiff, but starting to break in nicely. I'm still waiting for that euphoric epiphany that everybody tells me I'm going to have when that Brooks finally gets comfy. In the background is the famed Oakley case in all it's glory. 32 pairs of shades and counting. And 10 pairs of goggles, but that doesn't really matter, cause my orthopedist still hasn't given me the okay to go skiing or snowboarding due to the screws still in my collar bone. Yum. Anyway, I threw some new bar tape on the pista for the warm sunny springtime that I'm sure is just around the corner. If it wasn't snowing this morning in PDX, I definately would have riden to work. But I just wasn't all that jazzed about riding in the snow today.

I'm a couple weeks late on this, but here we go anyway. Funny stuff, I wish I could rock quads that well. Check the crossover dribble...

Spring is here.

So it's March here in the good ole Pacific Northwest, the 28th of March to be exact. And it's snowing in downtown Portland. Great. A little out of the ordinary for spring time in PDX. But a welcome change from the normal dreary spring time rain. A little snowfall will always do me just fine.
