Sun-Dried Brick...

What is Adobe?

Adobe Photoshop has a feature called "photomerge" (in File>Automate) in which Photoshop will automatically merge selected photos into a panoramic photo. I was on my way to a NW Girls Coalition meeting at Alki Beach, and wanting to try the photomerge feature, snapped a series of photos of Downtown Seattle. See below for some photomerge fun.

On a side note, I met some really interesting and talented women at the NW Girls Coalition Summer Membership Mixer (which I attended for work). One woman worked for a group called Powerful Voices that helps middle and high school girls in the public school and juvenile justice system by leading career training classes and offering numerous girl-focused activities. Another woman (a 2002 Holy Names graduate) works for YWCA Girls First, in which young women meet with freshmen girls after school from selected King County high schools to talk about social justice, racism, sexism, and other issues affecting their communities. Girls First also offers a number of field trips and leadership activities for the participating high school girls. It was a rewarding experience to talk with so many hardworking women dedicated to improving education and quality of life for girls in the Northwest.

  2. so i have a silly, non-computer-savvy question. i was wondering how you made the collage in your facebook of all of the wildflowers from your hike? do you need a special program to do that, or is there some way to put one together??
