Hi guys!  So I decided to do the “Common everyday object” assignment.  I took a few photos of things around the office and around school.  What I finally decided to do was to edit a photo of one of the most bittersweet moments in my college path thus far.  So last semester, my physics friends and I had to take Physics Advanced Lab, which was a gruelingly intense laboratory course that saw many of us set up shop in the physics department computer lab on the 4th floor of Jepson.  Towards the end of the semester, as we were all rushing to get lab reports finished and turned in, many of us began spending more and more hours in that computer lab.  One of my friends turned 21 sitting right there in that lab.  We celebrated for approximately 30 seconds, then promptly got back to lab reports.  This photo is a shot of what my workstation looked like sometime in the middle of a 48 hour no-sleep-lab-bender (yep, you read that right.  48 hours straight without sleep).  You can see the multiple flavors of Monster Energy drinks behind my terminal, and the multiple computers I was using.  Just out of the frame was the pizza we had delivered.  And underneath that was the pizza box from the night before.

As far as the creation here goes, I decided to play around with the saturation and the colors a little bit in iPhoto.  I finally decided on this combination which gives it a bit of an antique kinda faded photo look.
