photos

In teaching my Middle School Computer Graphics course, one of the topics I like to discuss is how the media use photo manipulation to change how people look, and in doing so, change our perceptions of how people should look.

I show various before and after images of women being transformed from plain to perfect using photoshop.

I hope that teaching these students not to trust what they see in the media, they will learn more self-esteem and more respect for natural beauty.

Along those lines, the video below highlights just how far companies go to turn a plain looking woman into their model of beauty.

I look forward to your comments below!

You've been asking us for recent pictures of our kids. Well, here they are!

Of course, some of these "recent" photos are from last year, but to many of our friends from around the world, these are recent. Let me know what you think!

I'm in the midst of uploading a bunch of new photos from Noah's birthday. Please check out the new albums under photos > family.

Sage and Noah had fun dressing up for Halloween and "Trick-or-Treating" around our neighborhood. They were both so exhausted by the end that Noah couldn't stand up straight, and Sage could not hold her bucket of candy! Here are some pictures of them in costume.
