Mysterious photo time machine

There’s lots of ways to use Photoshop to make a new photo look old and scratched, but if you want a quick way of doing this and aren’t too spazzed about not being able to control every pixel, then check out this site. I don’t know how it works, because I don’t read Japanese, but I do know that if you click browse, select an image, and click on the blue button in the middle of the screen, you’ll get some neat pictures.

Two Hot

If you can believe it, there is a photo meme for every day of the week. i-gizmo hosts one that begins on Saturday. The theme this week is “two.” I happen to think that hot peppers with lots of seeds are too hot, or in this case “two hot.”

Ghostly

The theme on Photo Friday this week is ghostly. This “haunted martini” seemed an appropriate submission.

Photo Friday: Luscious

This is my Photo Friday photo entry for the theme luscious. Nick and I spent a weekend last April touring Woodinville wineries, where we discovered DiStefano’s Syrah, which is the very definition of luscious. Dark, plummy, and ohh so tasty! Other favorites from the weekend included:

• JM Cellars - one of the best kept secrets in Woodinville, we’ve been back several times to the winery for tastings and are never disappointed
• DeLille - What can I say?! Doyenne, D2 and their Chaleur Estate blanc are some of the best wines in Washington; you pay a pretty price for them too
• Paige - I think they are actually from Gig Harbor, not Woodinville; they make two wines, both are worth trying
• Facielli - When you don’t want to splurge on the spendier wines, wines from these guys are great alternatives.
• Matthews - Even though they make a very limited run of each wine, they have a good selection, and there isn’t a bad one in the bunch

Photo Friday took my dad’s suggestion of “clouds” as the theme this week. Here’s my entry, taken from my driveway one morning before a snowshoe trip up Mt. Si and Teneriffe.
