Absolute onslaught;
Relentlessly flowing chills,
Entraps the heedless.

Daylight Lost
Sun sets by high noon,
Spreads ceaseless Alaskan night;
Swallowing sunshine.

Land Of A Midnight Sun
Light rules the night sky,
Days that never cease to end;
Perpetual sun.

Erasing History
This is just an experimental piece I wrote to help revive my creativity, as well as my blog. Enjoy!
Burning photograph;
It’s ashes lightly descend,
On freshly laid snow.

Staff Duty Haiku
This haiku goes out to all the service members also having to do staff duty on a Saturday like me!
Weekend staff duty,
Typing haikus on my phone;
Productivity.

Infected
Skin breaking apart,
Festering sore opens up;
Becomes infected.
Another experimental haiku.

Warrior
Bloodshed all around;
Smiting has his enemies down.
Fueled with vengeance.

Journey
Uncomfortable,
Unfamiliarity;
New journey begins.

Slow Internet
Ceaseless buffering;
Photos refuse to upload.
Snail speed connection.

Learning Photoshop
Today, I began learning Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. I definitely have much work to do in acquiring some real skills with this program, as it has a ton of features! The tools alone take a couple days (or at least just a few photos to practice on) to get them down based on what I’ve experienced so far. In hopes of improving the quality of my photos that I post on my blog, I feel that becoming skilled in Photoshop will be key in making sure that happens.
Below are two versions of the picture I practiced on: the one on the top is the original copy and the one on the bottom is the finished one. As you’ll be able to see there will be several differences, and possibly not even for the better. But alas it’s a learning experience.
The bottom one has been cropped further, and has more color saturation. I also did a few spot repairs near the head of the swan; as well as additional adjustments. Comment below to tell me what you think!
