England Journal Part Deux

I got my England prints back from Apple today. I was really excited until I remembered that I had overslept and nearly missed my flight to London and was in such a panic that I ran out of my apartment without my camera. Get it? I'm a photographer and I went to England without my camera.

So about 5 days into the trip I decided to buy a disposable. Two actually. I live dangerously.
So one day I shot both roles within a 1 mile radius. Very dynamic. London Bridge, the Tower of London from about two angles, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, the subway, a pigeon IN the subway, several cathedrals which have names that are unbeknownst to me, traffic, and of course.... "Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!"

That's about it for over a week in London.

I got them processed on CD when I got back to Virginia and they were all grainy and pixely -- meeting all my expectations of disposable camera picture quality. So before I sent copies to my friend Dianne, who I traveled with, I photoshop'd them to get rid of speckles, dust, hair, my thumb... It was then I realized that I needed prints for my journal so I uploaded them to iPhoto.


I was excited until I remembered that. I just finished looking through them and I'm pretty disappointed. They're bad. Real bad. Why did I go to sleep at 2am when I had to get up at 3am?! Moronic.

Anyway, the pictures will still help produce a nice journal, for which I have no more roadblocks preventing me from creating. Except the fact I don't have any nice photos. God they're bad. Well, some of the pictures are actually composed nicely. I guess they're not that bad, but man they aren't good.
