Several people now have complimented me on my photographs, not just saying "they look pretty" and stuff, but that they're good examples of photography and art. It's interesting because I know very little about the science and methods of taking pictures, things like exposure settings, depth of field, and composition. I've never even taken a class. I usually would see something I liked, move around a little until it looked like I wanted, and snap a picture. I know nothing about using Photoshop; all my recent pictures were touched up a little in Picasa to bring out some of the color contrast, but that's it. What pains me is all the pictures I couldn't take in Korea, either because I was in a car or train and wasn't fast enough or something would get in the way.

Anyway, had a pretty good weekend, despite my original plans not coming to fruition. Friday night had the last regular semester concert at Villa Julie. It's a good thing I practiced all that Mozart stuff because at times I think no one else was playing. :P Still, people said they enjoyed the concert, and I got to go out with Katie and Eric afterwards. Their 4-month-old son is a total woman magnet. =)

Saturday I did some volunteer work with the club for Baltimore Reads, a local charity that collects children's books for needy kids. After sitting in the sun there for a while, I also checked out the flower mart at the Washington Monument... and wound up with a nice sunburn. In the evening I met up with

fuzzy_gizmo and crew in DC, playing games until the wee hours. Unfortunately, the hours got even more wee by the time I got home, owing to the accident that closed down the Parkway for half an hour. At least I didn't have anything I needed to be up for yesterday.
