Street True Colors

"But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow"

-Cyndi Lauper

"From Which I Came / A Magic World"

Ten pounds and a head of hair
Came into without a care
What they thought were cries
Were little laughs
Only looking forward and moving fast
The little bundle had arrived 
And i was happy to be alive
In a magic world

Long days and dreaming nights
Wide eyes take in all the sights 
A little wonder goes a long, long way
Learning where to go and what to say
Say hello to your new son
Well he sure is having fun
In a magic world

Every moment's built to last
When you're living without a past
In a magic world
-Lyrics from the Eels song

"The contemplation of things as they are,
without error or confusion, 
without substitution or imposture, 
is in itself a nobler thing 
than a whole harvest of invention"

UGH! Adobe Lightroom


I love working with Adobe Lightroom. What I don't like is it's book creation module. Blurb is a good publisher but I would like more publishing resources. The ability to port the book to other resources like Mpix and others. A little competition would be nice. Come on Adobe lets open this up a bit!
