So I just bought the VSCO Film presets for Aperture because I don’t have all the time in the world to post-process. They’re pretty sweet, especially liking the Portra 800+. More excited now to get a new camera too. One issue I have is seeing the demo video for VSCO’s Lightroom presets…they make me think I should switch. grrrr
That’s a line from a poem in The Grey, which was an amazing movie, but has relatively little to do with this post. I just think it sounds cool. No, basically this is just a quick I’m-trying-this-blog-again post, as I’ve written so often in the past. This time around, though, it’s going to be more focused. It’s both a place for me to share my photos and thoughts, and to experiment with code and designs. No more re-blogs of crap.
I’ve got a new, minimalist design for myself: www.matthewlettini.com, with the new and sexy Chrono font (I’ll eventually get my portfolio back up too). I’ve hopefully optimized this tumblr layout to be suitable for high quality photos, to encourage myself to take advantage and share more. And there is no commenting, just use Twitter.
I’ve already got some post ideas lined up, so stay tuned for those. I’ve recently been trying to use Rdio fulltime, and want to post some UX feedback (it’s a great service, but could be even better). I’m also in the market for a new non-DSLR camera, and I’m close to picking up the Fujifilm X100, even though it’s a year old… I’m still researching for anything else comparable. Anyway, I’m happy I got the design of this done and can start posting!

This is a complete ripoff of Jared McDaniel’s amazing The Crazy Ones poster, yes. I just wanted a project to play with over the weekend and this came to mind. It’s a lot longer, and edited down very slightly, but I love the way it came out. Here’s the original.
The photo is exceeding Tumblr’s size constraints, so click to see hi-res version.
I’m on the right. Da Bulls! (Taken with instagram)
Went back in August but just went through the 700+ photos I took now and got them up on Flickr. Really happy with how they came out, and having a nice lens and beautiful sky/sun means I didn’t have to do barely any post. Thanks, Doug, for taking me out.
Took a trip to visit my friend Taylor that just moved to Vermont. We hiked and picked apples and just hung out, it was great. I hadn’t had a candy apple in forever… it was delicious.
This is not new. I’ve seen this before, hopefully you have too. I’m adding it here so I don’t lose the link, and don’t forget to watch it when I’m having a creative block…which is all too often.
I was inspired to make this today, guess why…
