Jeannie's News & Notes:


Greetings, earthlings! I come in peace. Seriously, what a week it's been. Happy Fourth of July to all of my fellow Americats, and a belated lovely holiday to the Canadians that that were celebrating earlier in the week.

So it's been a busy week here, and I have MUCH to report. Let's do work!





(1) Daily Deviations. I’m on a roll, folks! This week I managed to score DDs for THREE amazing artists- and two of those on the very same day!
6/29/09 brought us the following:

And 7/1 was the day for-

Also not to be overlooked, the wonderful posted a journal entry recently that featured several photographs that I had suggested for DDs. Namely the divine-






[If you are a nature-officianado, I suggest you give that a perusal for some exquisite imagery. ]


I would like to encourage EVERYONE to suggest at least ONE piece of art for a Daily Deviation each week. It only takes a few minutes (even less when you get the hang of it!) of your time, and it really feels wonderful when you succeed and get that recognition for a much-deserving artist. You have the power in your hands to do something positive for another artist and the community-at-large, so why not give it a try?


(2) “Let’s Play With Ketchup” is merely a product of my bizarre sense-of-humor. You know what it is, right? If you don't, have you been asleep in class again? As an aside, can you believe it's been 12 weeks already? Time does fly!

(3) HDR Tutorials. Does anyone know of any really good HDR Tutorials (for Photoshop users)? I have tried several that I located here on dA, but each had a whole battery of issues with it. (Clearly these authors skipped over some important steps somewhere! Or I am an idiot.) Anyone, anyone? Buehler?





So that's everything for this week, folks. No major plans for this coming week, but something intriguing always seems to find me.

Hope everyone is kicking it old-school style on the beach...
And if you have a swimming pool, damn you!
