Doesn’t anyone proofread copy for teevee commercials? I mean, if you’re going to spend eleventy bajallion dollars on advertising, the end product ought not make you look like an ignorant pantsload, right? So why is Ford bragging that one of its cars will allow you to make “less stops at the pump”? I swear, I want to pierce my eardrums every time that commercial airs.
And now, a red bird for a spring day. I took this at my mom’s house. While I was outside, photographing paintings, two cardinals were dancing and displaying at each other, so I tried to get some shots of them. They didn’t turn out very well, but I was able to play around with this one in Photoshop and salvage it to some extent. I upped the contrast, decreased the saturation, increased the red and yellow channels, and added some noise.
The house in the background is due to be torn down. There was a fire in it over 20 years ago, and the owners did a crapy-assed job of renovating it. They were able to rent it out a few times over the years, but it’s sat empty more often than not. Now, if it’s not torn down, inertia will likely take care of the problem.
