Eerie Old House

Last week, I took this picture last week in Grafton, and in fact, the color version of it is in a previous post. Something about this house intrigues me. It is interesting and eerie at the same time. I decided to play around in Photoshop a bit. First, I converted it to black and white, added a slight sepia tint and a film grain texture. To see the effect better, click the picture to see a larger version. I kind of like it. What do you think?

Oklahoma's Centennial

Today, November 16, 2007 is the centennial for the state of Oklahoma. One hundred years ago, the Sooner State was admitted to the United States as a full and equal partner. Forty-five years and a couple of months or so later, I would breathe my first lungful of air in Oklahoma City. Yep, I've been alive now for over half the length of time that Oklahoma has been a state. Sobering thought!

In any case, it is time to say Happy 100th Birthday to the Great State of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma! OK!
