The other day I posted some fanart from LA Con 2009 photos taken by wolfpup2000.  I had done some more but never got around to posting those.  All of these are LA Con 2009 except the last, which is VanCon 2009.

this LA Con 2009 photo is by KJ@svala.





I love me some smilin' Jensen.

Found this wonderful photo by wolfpup2000  of Jensen at LA Con 2009.  Loved his smile and eyes in this!  So I had to open up by sandbox and play some this morning.  [my gods the man is gorgeous]

A while ago I did some fanart versions of some of my photos from LA Con 2009. 

Today I came across another of the photos from that con and I couldn't resist playing with it.

Here's the original





And the one I did tonight...

(hmmm.... I may be in the mood to do more.  been awhile since I've felt like it.)

Decided to resurrect one of my LA Con 2009 photos and apply some of the filtering techniques I've learned recently. Still not as good as those I've done with elsiecat's photos since mine are not as sharp as hers.

....I seriously need to get a job. These here are literally me just dorking around in Photoshop--no point, no target, no end result in mind. Decided to see just how weird I could be. I even called the folder I stored these in "weirdness." Maybe I should have called it "boredom."

These are all from either my LA 2009 or Chicago 2008 photos.

Man, I can see why I lost steam doing that back in April. 

But now I've cleared the books and I can look towards the end of August and the Vanc Con!

Go here to the Master Post to see photos for Aldis, Sam, Julie, Misha, Richard, Malik, Fans and Friends.  The items listed on the master post with "Updated!" next to it are the ones I've updated and/or added.

And as usual, I haven't done anything I told myself I'd do today.  I just wanted to get this DONE.

ETA: Dammit!  I just realized I left out Steve and Jason.  Doggone.  Not done yet. 

ETA2:  Fixed.  Steve and Jason are added.  Done. Done.  Done.  (and done)

I was a little distracted yesterday when I posted about my updated LA Con Photo Ops.  I forgot to link to the updated post!  Sheessh.  Anyway here's the link to the updated Photo Ops--including the one with Misha.

I'm working on getting the remainder of my LA Con photos posted over the next day or so.  Gotta clear the books for Vanc Con!  For some reason I can't find my photos of Samantha, Aldis, and Julie.  But I'm sure I took some.  I think I must have them filed elsewhere.  So I'll be looking for those as well.  Others that I will be posting soon will include Jason (I have a lot of his concert for some reason), Steve, Richard, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous fan photos (some of those will be friend's locked though).

I just put  up my Malik photos here.



Plus here's a link to the overall Master Post as well.

Did I miss this before? I don't think I've ever seen this photo before. I was doing a random Jared and Jensen google image search and just happened across this one at this link. Based on the wallpaper, what the boys are wearing, and the headstone--this was taken at the recent 2009 LA Con.

Anyone see any article that went with it?


ETA:  And why the heck is Jared wearing...is that a nametag??  Um...yeah...like no one would know who he was without it.  I'm straining my brain trying to figure out why he has it on.  He certainly wasn't wearing it anytime I saw him at LA.

It's an absolutely beautiful day here today.  I sat out in the sun on the back deck for about an hour.  It was wonderful.  I have all the windows open right now--probably the first time since...oh September last year???

I saw two ladybugs sunning themselves on our back deck and it just made me smile!

And, while it overwhelms me a bit as well, I gotta admit I'm a little happy that my J2 Panel photos post hit 3 pages of comments today.  And I've seen some beautiful icons and banners as well.  Some particularly great ones by apieceofcake  here.  I'm going to have to pick one and update my LJ layout.  She even made one of my favorite Jensen photo.



And now I'm off to enjoy the sun.
