A swimming pool or wading pool is an artificially enclosed body of water intended for swimming or water-based recreation. There are many standard sizes; the largest and deepest is the Olympic size. A pool can be built either above or in the ground, and from materials such as metal, plastic or concrete.Pools that may be used by many people or by the general public are called public, while pools used exclusively by a few people or in a home are called private. Many health clubs, fitness centers and private clubs have public pools used mostly for exercise. Many hotels and massage parlors have public pools for relaxation. Hot tubs and spas are pools with hot water, used for relaxation or therapy, and are common in homes, hotels, clubs and massage parlors.
This is the once in a lifetime shot and can be considered mission impossible. Excuse the photo quality. I had to snap this in record time and the content is my purpose in uploading it, not the clarity of the image, Given that the participants are adults and Olympia appears to like tight clothes, I think this photograph is in good taste revealing nothing too graphic since both dogs are wearing coats. Sometimes we have to lighten up for the sake of a good laugh and enjoy the spirit of the most unlikely pairing we might ever see. This scene might have lasted a few minutes. My friend brought her 7 lb. Italian Greyhound over not knowing she was in heat. She exhausted Mikey following him everywhere with no consideration of Molly’s feelings. He tried to get away knowing that the size difference and the fact he is neutered was not going to satisfy his little friend’s desire. She was relentless so in one kind moment Mikey lightly mounted her lifting her slightly off the ground. After I told my friend to take Olympia home because Mikey was so tired of her chasing him, he fell rapidly to sleep. Since his “lipstick” never emerged this was a meaningless tryst. This is what I told Mikey when we had our heart to heart talk. He now understands he did not betray Molly and when he showed her the picture, she laughed and did not even know what was troubling him. She just asked him, “Why were you playing leap frog with Olympia?” I have not even had my sex talk with my daughter yet so she didn’t even know what he was doing. It is interesting how we can get so bothered by things we imagine are going to happen causing intense anxiety and guilt when what we fantasize is only our own projection. I told Mikey that anxiety is anticipatory and I believed Molly would understand. He learned a big lesson today and said he would try to live in the moment and was very appreciative of the great attitude of his faithful companion, Molly who eased his guilt. He was worried since I did not have time to offer them a bedroom out of Molly’s sight. She did ask if they smoked afterward? I thought that was a fair question. Don’t you? /
just trying a little perspective trick … looks quite cool I think …

Like my previous colour chart journal entry, I’ve tried something else to take the guesswork out of designing for RedBubble t-shirts. This time I’m comparing the unchanging maximum print area (2400px x 3200px @ 200dpi = 30.48cm x 40.64cm or 12inches x 16inches) to the varying sizes of the Unisex short sleeve t-shirt, which ranges from S up to XXXL. This should help you envisage how your design will look across the varying shirt sizes. As you can see because of the unchanging print area, things look considerably different when comparing S to XXXL. To RedBubble, I’ve made every effort to get these measurements exact as possible. If you notice any errors, please let me know. Below: The blue area represents the maximum unchanging print area. As a result, the larger the t-shirt the more empty space surrounds the design. Note: The shirt preview we see on Redbubble is based on the Large size. Below: Here you can see how the same design at the same size looks on the smallest and largest t-shirt. / For a larger version of the Blue square chart, you can download from the link below (copy and paste address in your browser)- http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/2117/unisexsizecomparisonzr3.jpg Thanks.

Ok, I thought I’d give back what I’ve learned since so many people on the Internet have helped me out! If you already know this and I’m the only one who just figured it out recently, then I’ll slap myself silly and call it a day LOL. Today, I’d like to show you how to get the most in terms of pixels on your subject, without cropping or enlarging the actual subject. We all know that when you crop an image, you lose pixels, when you enlarge, you may get blur depending on the software you use. I use Photoshop CS and CS4 (recently got). Let’s take this picture as an example. / It’s a nice tight shot taken vertically with some white space all around her. I have learned to frame my subjects like this and ensure I have space all around, because later I can have more options to work with. Now with that image, all you can pretty much do is print vertically, which is ok. Now let’s say you wanted to achieve the same shot but framer her to the right, like 1/3 of the picture for an interesting composition. With you camera, you would turn it sideways and have to “zoom out” to fit her in the right or left side and have all that white space on either side. Now, it will be a great image, except now your subject has gotten much smaller in terms of the overall portrait. Get it? You got that shot, but you had to lose out on the size of the subject. So if you cropped or enlarged, you would lose out a bit on pixels and maximum enlargement size. Well I just learned that the crop tool, ain’t just for cropping in photoshop, well at least just not for cropping “down”. What I’m about to show you will work mostly on solid white or black backdrops, with very little effort, since colors will match perfectly. You can do it with other shades of white, but you will have some cloning, dodging or burning to do. I opened Kaylie’s picture, the one I took vertically against a solid white backdrop that was overexposed. In photoshop, I took the crop tool and dragged it over the entire photo. Then instead of dragging one side in to crop it smaller, i dragged it “out”, making my canvas larger! Before doing this, i made sure my swatch color was white. After I expanded the crop to one side, I hit enter. This made the canvas size larger and filled it in with the white color from my swatch! Really in like less than 2 minutes! Now you see the same image with Kaylie on the right and all this white space on the left, looking as if I shot it this way. But, you will notice now that it is landscape and Kaylie’s body size remains the same, so we have not lost any pixels on her. ! So now we have an image that works either in portrait or landscape printing! You can also do this in case you wanted a subject centered, etc. You can also do this by increasing canvas size, etc, but this is quick and super easy! This works great if you shoot musicians or anything that later may require that extra white space for words for a poster or CD cover, etc. Final image: / Please note that this image wasn’t completely white, so I did some cloning in the final image. But you will get the point I’m trying to make in this tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy! xoxo / Jen
This is the first I wasn’t finished and wasn’t sure to post but I like her figure pose so I had to post it anyway. lol!! I like the scene overall took serveral hours to render too.
