I accidentally found out I can make collages in Picasa from Google. Picasa is a free image sharing and editing application. It will scan your computer for all images and let you view them all from one place, organized by the folders they are in and ordered by date. It also lets you quickly touch up images, adjust colors, rotate, crop, correct red eye and a whole lot more. A great program, you should get it. Plus you can email pictures easy. You set a default image size and it will automatically resize the images emailed so no one complains about having to download large files. And even more, it keeps copies of all the edits you do in the program, so you can undo everything you did.

So after making a few, I made one of me. A lot of pictures and a lot of names are in the collage. All of me, at different ages and different hair styles. Too many pictures, but couldn’t resist them! Click the image to view larger.

The other night at time of maghrib (sunset), my office has a window that faces towards the east was letting in some light through the horizontal blinds. The light created a cool image on my wall. A secret message! I just thought it was cool and weird. I kept the office light out and took a picture of it with no flash. Scared? I am calling it Sunset Code. Click the image to see larger size.
