Many of the digital shots taken on the recent ski trip to Wolf Creek are now up in the photo gallery for all to enjoy.  There are about 9 pages of them, so I’ll probably divide them into sub-galleries at some point.  I am hoping to get some scanning done very soon so that I can include some of my recent film shots as well, some of which turned out very good. 

On the same note, I have found that despite all of the reviews to the contrary, I like Kodak film better than Fuji.  Granted, in the lab tests Fuji regularly outperforms Kodak, but in my prints, I find that Fuji is fairly prone to overexposure, especially in the case of white or almost-white objects in good light.  This can readily be seen in the Alaska Pictures, all of which were shot on Fuji film (and all of which were somewhat color-corrected when they were scanned).  However, Fuji’s color depth really tends to show in darker shots where, when I took the picture, I thought that the lighting was not so good. 

The Job Search continues.  I have a few leads, most through friends who have been kind enough to get my resume past the normal measures of corporate data collection.  I’ll keep you posted on how things pan out.  Today I hit up the list of the top 500 companies that are hiring for entry level positions this year, as well as posting applications for all of the TLA’s (CIA, FBI, NSA).  Other possibilities are presenting themselves on the left coast.  In the meantime I am doing some more freelance web design work and finishing up some old projects.

In other news, I just bought a new GSM Mobile Telephone, thanks in part to my parents and in part to my wonderful Girlfriend, Katie, who teamed up to to provide the funds for the phone of my choice as a birthday present.  I purchased a new and unlocked Nokia 3620, which my provider Cingular does not sell (and which I got for $270 after shipping, over $100 below retail).  Earlier I had called Cingular to see what it would take to get me on my own plan under GSM while my parents kept their TDMA family-plan.  It looks like this will go over without a hitch, except for the $50 phone bill I will now get to pay.
