New Toys
I've always wanted to try this:
I think the panorama should be close to 160° or so.
I used my new camera to collect the images I needed to put the montage together (he's also responsible for the Boston photo essay, an archetype, I'm sure, of future image projects). His name is Argos after the many-eyed creature that Hera had watch Io after Zues had turned the latter into a cow... long story. Anyway, eventually Zues killed Argos and Hera put his eyes on peacock feathers. Which is why the icon that shows up on my desktop when I link to the camera looks like this. Which brings us to toy #2: the new plugin for Photoshop with which I can make my own icons for my various folders and hardware. Yes, I'm a design geek and stuff like this is too fun to pass up. I even made one for my USB drive named Taras (another long story).

Posted by: andrea at October 28, 2005 09:18 AMmy photoshop teacher would flip around the icons for each program to freak people out. so if you really need to waste someone's day you could make all new icons for everything.... renaming them helps waste an afternoon, too. =O)
