I know it's been a while

I've been writing on the main journal and I was thinking of phasing this one out since I don't get many responses or hits. But it's here for photo tips and viewing of art by Dlonzo. Here are some pictures from Katrina. These will be the last pictures I post. The images speak for themselves, but I know people want to move on. It was a tragic event, but its time to look away. Even if we can't look away or forget some people have to pretend. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

Just read the manual

When most people buy something, they usually read the manual. I usually skim through the book and learn by using the product. Most digital cameras all have the same features. They may be in a different spot, but it all does the same thing and can be found. The interesting thing about technology is that most electronic products don't come with full manuals. They have these quick start sheets and then you go online to get the actual manual. The other day I was trying to figure out my self timer on the digital camera. It must have been very simple because I couldn't figure it out. I looked through the book and then I went online. I tried to find the section on self timer, but I couldn't find out how to set it when I found it. I played around with the camera and then with a few pushes of a button I got it to work. Soon I'll be able to be in front of my own camera again. It's not just a photograph, it's art. That's my slogan for Artography. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

Playing with my new toy

I have this thing about reading manuals. I like to test my ability to figure something out unless I absolutely have to read how it operates. I once bought a camera and got a discount because the manual was not in the box. Some had purchased the camera and for whatever reason they returned it. So as long as it was in good condition and the store guaranteed the product, I bought it. So, I took some pictures today that I hope to post some soon. I'm quite pleased with what I have done with the camera in just a short period of time. Some time next week I'll work with some of the photo programs and create some art. But with all that is going on, I'm doing good. Thanks for stopping by and keep coming back to see the new art of Dlonzo.

Looking at photographs

I'm looking at photographs of hurricane Katrina, before during and after. And I'm looking at photos of the events before Rita.  Photographs are very powerful. I often look at images of Pulitzer prize winning photographs. I used to think I'd like to win a Pulitzer in photography or with my poetry. Only time will tell. I've mentioned this before, when I have my camera with me it feels like there is nothing I can't do. I can climb great heights and dea with any situation for the right shot. I recently bought a Casio EX S500. I fell in love with this piece of technology. So now I'm learning my way around it. I hope to post some pics from both of my cameras. I'm feeling better about my situation. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
