Picasa 3.0 Is The Shizzle

Picasa 3.0 rules my world. Check out the full resolution Collage Example from above. I've been playing round with the pictures that we took on our hiking trip today and stumbled across the new version of Picasa. I honestly couldn't tell you if the last version of Picasa had a Collage tool or not, but I can tell you that the curret version does and it's pretty cool. You can make contact sheets and all kinds of cool stuff. Plus it links up with Picasa Web Albums which I prefer over Flickr, Photobucket, and all the rest for the geotagging capabilities and bulk uploading. Plus it integrates perfectly with my blog which is powered by Blogger.com.

I really hope Google never pairs down it's services or starts charging.

New Poster for Photo Lab

Here is my most recent creation. I created this (obviously) to display
in One Hour Photo centers to advertise photography classes. The finished
product is mounted in a 24x36 inch frame with glass front. Class times
and details are written in dry erase marker between the top and bottom
graphics. The quasi-handwriting font I used on the polaroid-like print
helps to make the dry erase writing look appropriate. This is actually
one of my favorite recent pieces.

The images in the 'polaroids' were taken while I was hiking around Shores
Lake (North of Mulberry, Arkansas) last Summer.
