I got a digital SLR for Christmas. It came with three kickass different zoom lenses, a bunch of filters, tripods, things like that. I'm still learning to use it. I've been playing with it, and here's what I've got. This is the artsy stuff. I'll post the pet and personal pictures in a different post later (though I've got to say, I'm pretty pleased with those art-wise as well). This is huge. Sorry! Some abandoned stuff. Starting with this gorgeous 7-bedroom, 2 story house beside of the bowling alley in Mount Airy. My mother tells me that a school friend of hers, called Benny, grew up in this house. The owner tells me that he's been trying to sell it for nearly $300,00. He believes the land has commercial potential. There are two houses on the lot, long since disused, both of which he plans to demolish. The door on this one is perpetually open, so I was able to enter. Judging by the old coffee cups and porno scattered about, so have a lot of people. ( What does meteorologist mean in English? It means liar. )This is an old, empty shop that plainly has been up for sale for a while. ( I had a passing fancy, only it didn't pass; it stopped. )This house was by a church. As pretty as it was, it didn't inspire me, so I only took these two: ( Jelly baby? )I loved this old tobacco shed: ( Bonnie licked my cupcake, dammit. )And this set of two houses, both falling to bits. They weren't really accessible, I couldn't get inside. ( There's gonna be swearing )Now, some random stuff. ( Two minutes to Belgium! )Here are some textures from the various places I visited. They're gankable for whatever you want (commercial ask me first please, thanks). ( This jocularity is most unseemly. )That took forever :D Feeling: tired

This post is not at all dialup friendly, sorry. Commentary above each pic. Firstly, I made cheesecookies. ( cheesecookies )Next, we have a tumbledown cottage near Crieff. ( Under here )Neil tells me that this is up on the Amulree pass. ( the pass )Now, the old Yew I posted about before. Aparently the oldest living thing in Europe. Neil took the ones of the yew. ( the pass )This is a ruin in the hillfoots of Stirling. The house right beside it is occupied, so I don't know why this has been left to rot. ( ruined house )This is a building outside of Stirling University. Seems to have been completely cemented shut. :( ( University building )A little creek and old building in Sherrifmuir. ( little creek )This one is the gatehouse to Braco Cemetery. The fence surrounding it blocked it off completely, so I couldn't go inside. There was an open window, but all the pics I got from the outside were completely blurred as I had to jump and try not to land in the thistles. It was basically just tumbled down wood and stone. ( Fenced-off house )The munitions storage place is called Bandeath Industrial Estate (the sign which I once saw vandalized to read "death trial state". There's a load of information, including an aerial map, here. It's in Throsk, which is quite close to us. Neil tells me that it's an former Royal Navy munitions depot. In was in use from 1916 to 1978, and was later rented out to people for general storage. There are rails on each path, though most of it's grown over. Aparently they'd transport it from a dock nearby. There were loads of them, you can see in the picture. Each one had on the right side a changing room with coat hooks, and on the other side, a toilet cubicle, toilets now removed. In between were two large rooms filled with junk. I only took pictures inside three or four. A few of the pics are Neil's as well. ( They are under here )And that's what I've got.

Download - My Brushes Site - Image Pack
Chinese Brocade redux! Much better this time :) 20 isolated embroidery brushes, most of them quite large. They make it look as if the design is stitched to the graphic. There's Chinese brocade, butterflies, flowers, a dragonfly, a dragon, a buttonhole, some corset lacings, and more. The image pack is in full colour if you'd like to use them as textures. I would like to ask credit for these, please (your journal's resource list is fine), because I did all the photography for these. Thank you :) Comments mean the world to me. Tags: brushes, resources
