Lots of lights...

We are trying to see if we can set up an infinite white background for pictures and videos. We will see if it works.

Touchdown!

I have been able to stream a lot of the BYU, USU, and U of U football games these past couple of weeks.  Andrew has been my football buddy.  This week instead of watching he joined in with his father with chants of , "Defense!"  "Offense" and the celebratory "touchdown!"

He knows just what to do when our team scores.

A few of my in-laws joined in watching football with me and Andrew.  Karoline and Kevin have watched the last few BYU and the last Utah games with me.  Yesterday, before the Utah game started I received a text from Kevin asking if I was going to watch the game. I celebrated! There may have been successful in converting an Ashton into a sports fan!

Wendy disabused me of that notion fairly quickly.  She suspected that the interest was driven by Karoline.  Suspicion confirmed once Kevin worked on his laptop during the entire game.  I felt slightly disappointed. On the plus side, at least Kevin married a sports fan so I have someone interested in sports to watch football with.

My dreams of photoshop...

I have always been fascinated by composite pictures created by Photoshop.  I love the composite pictures in which children are placed into fantastical or wondrous environments.

As part of my tuition for the University of Utah I have access to the entire creative cloud from Adobe including light room and Photoshop. I have mainly been using Lightroom to organize and tag our photos. Recently I have been trying to learn more about Photoshop and how to use it.

Wendy was able to get discounted access to a stock photo distribution website. I felt that with access to stock photos and access to Photoshop, maybe,  I should make an attempt at creating a fantastical composite of my own. This is my first amateurish attempt.

Come explore with me!

My kids like to share...diseases.

I am proud of my two kids for being good "sharers." Next is teaching them to NOT share diseases such as hand/foot/mouth disease. Especially to their daddy.

As a special FYI, it appears the sores can develop on the uvula.
