technology, geology & photography...

as those of you who read this blog are aware, my girlfriend marina is in europe. she's been gone for 2 weeks so far, and will be gone for another 4. i have, however, been speaking with her daily on skype, which is an amazing tool for communication. at the same time, she's been uploading her photographs to her yahoo photo album, and together we've been going through them. one photograph in particular stood out to me, and in fact i posted it on the blog a few days ago.

for me it was reminiscent of an ansel adams sierra nevada photograph, although this one was taken in austria. i asked her to email me the full resolution image, which she did yesturday. i then took the photograph, worked my black and white magic in photoshop (the original is in colour), took it to costco, had it enlarged to 11x16 in 1 hour (during which i went to loomis art store and bought a frame), brought the photo home, framed it...and it is now hanging on my wall.

all this in a matter of hours, and marina won't even be home until mid-october. technology is really an amazing tool.
