It turned out alright eventually, but after wasting all that photo paper, I figured I’d at least play with it a bit.

So anyway, I’m working on a little arts and crafts project these days, involving said collaboration between Photoshop and printer (which has, in the meantime, become the love story of the century, and that’s fine by me, as long as they don’t elope to Hawaii and open their own printing shop, or something along those lines). My adoring fan base of one suggested I even post a tutorial if it works out. We shall see…

Fine, I’ll tell you anyway. Not only was my web hosting account suspended without prior notice or subsequent explanation, but all the content was definitively and irrevocably deleted. Apparently, as I later found out, this is pretty much what 000webhost.com does for a living. Anyway, long story short, thank heavens for Google cache and good friends.

Today’s photo-of-the-week will be the last in the Eurotrip 2009 series, and one that I thought I’d save for last. So without further ado, enjoy the goofy mugs of the Eurotrip crew (well fine, mine’s behind the camera), over beer, in Bratislava…

In other news, my last post, Vintage I, has been polished and prettified and sent off to the photo blog equivalent of a beauty pageant over at Photo Friday, so if anyone happened to like it, has a minute to spare over the course of next Friday and Saturday (June 12th and 13th), and would care to be a total sweetheart (man, that’s a lot of conditions), then pop on over to your favorite blogger’s entry (no, silly, I mean me) and click the magic vote button. Voting is only open during those two days, so I can’t give you an exact link until then, but I’ll post one as soon as it becomes available, this being only the heads-up. So thanks a bunch in advance to whomever fits the above criteria.

After being somewhat afraid at first to even touch something so precious, it occurred to me what a fabulous subject it would make, so I got around to playing quite a lot with it. Here’s the first shot in what I hope to be a small series…
