adventures in skin tone correction

I always had a problem with the way my camera treats skin tones. Unless I spot meter, it usually comes out all weird. And I don’t usually like to spot meter, given the narrow dynamic range of digital captures. Good thing for photoshop!
Here’s a classic example:

Notice that Zhenyi’s face is very very red. Jess’s [...]

Angry letter to a prof which will never get sent out

Hi prof, I would like to inform you that I haven’t been going for any of your classes since maybe one and a half months ago. It is not that I am not serious about the course, it is because your style of teaching makes it extremely difficult for me to get out of bed [...]

FULLTIME KILLER

Currently downloading Art Museum by the Zoo, Running Out of Time and Kwaidan.

random personality test

From Karen’s blog hahaha.
1. You are attracted to those who have split personality, like cold

3. [...]
