Jamming @ the LaMotte’s

It was great to finally get back together with the LaMotte family! Nathan, who’s very experienced on the piano, recently picked up the guitar, so it was a lot of fun to bring my guitar over and play together. Thanks for sharing your blues-style chords with me Nathan!

Caleb also started learning how to play the ukulele within the last month, so our little acoustic trio played a few songs together.

We also played a long-expected, mega game of Nerf together. The darts were flying everywhere!

Thank you so much, LaMotte family, for such a great, fun evening and for a yummy dinner/dessert!

Photo Edit–Cloning

I thought I’d take a minute and show some of the photo editing I did to one of the photos from the “Declaration of Independence Picnic” post.

The original photo was taken at a very bad angle. In fact, it was so bad that if I’d tried rotating the image I would’ve had to crop most of the picture.

So, after rotating the image enough that the camera’s angle wouldn’t be distracting, I cloned in the missing corners of the photo.

Once you know where to look it’s pretty easy to tell where I copied other areas of the photo to fill in the spaces in red. However, it looks good enough to hold up to average scrutiny.
