I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Pic of the Day #591
May 2, 2008
I think it’s high time that I posted another picture of my lovely wife.

It wasn’t the warmest day for a walk along the beach, but Grace and I braved the weather to take a stroll along the lengthy expanse of sand in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. It was just nice to escape the heady pace of Vancouver for a bit and enjoy a bit of “down time” at a slower, more relaxed pace.
And hey, who doesn’t like a walk in the sand with someone they love?
I didn’t take many pictures as we walked (both because I didn’t really want to and because it was raining, but I really liked this one when I came to it in post. Grace and I disagree on this point, but I never think it looks bad when her hair is a bit out of place, as a few locks of it are in this picture thanks to the wind. Also, I love her pose, and the way she’s reaching out to touch the sand (which was quite soft, to be sure). It’s just a good picture of her, I think.
Edit-wise, I had to manipulate the contrast a bit in order to highlight the difference between the ground and the sky (it was a gray day after all). I applied the usual batch of presets, and did a minor bit of retouching in Photoshop as well to modify a few pesky details that I couldn’t quite correct in Lightroom.
