I'll try to keep this updated. It's really just going to be a bunch of pics. I'll link any work logs I have back here when it comes time to tie everything together.
What a storm outside. I went out to take some more pics and the wind just roared through the trees.
Edit-March 23, 2013. I hope people are able to find something in this log they can use. In no way am I saying this is what you should do. All I'm saying with this log is, this is what I did. These are the questions I faced and the answers I came up with. Thank you to the people that participated in problems solving. I could not have done it without you.
Unfortunately for my work log, we now have advertisement links in most of the posts. The links I posted are among them so you're just going to have to sift through the BS. Sucks I know.
Resized pics brought to you by Fotosizer. This program is WAY easier to use than Gimp or PS.
