It was a mild morning this Sunday, so we trooped off to Zoo Atlanta for a bit of exercise. Of course, the tele lens and camera were in tow. Apparently due to some rain this morning, the place was nearly deserted. We were literally alone with the docent in the Panda exhibit. One was asleep, but the other was splayed out eating some of the thirty pounds of bamboo she scarfs on a daily basis. Sam really enjoyed the up close look.

So my brother Jerry dug up this photo of me circa age 1 give or take. Compare and contrast with the second photo below of Sam – there certainly seems to be more of a resemblance than I’d realized….
Photo of yours truly at about 1 year, circa summer 1967.
Sam’s photo below, at about ten months, December 2005.

Just a quick note. In one of his cutest moments to-date, Sam waved goodbye to me as I was leaving for work this morning. For those readers without kids, I’m sure you’re like ‘so what’ – but let me tell you, it really tugs at the ol’ heartstrings. He’s such a cutie!
Forget about Aperture’s ‘beta release’ – it’s all about iLife ’06! I installed the yearly update late last week, and good lord does it rock. The improvements to iPhoto alone are worth the price of admission.
My iPhoto’05 library was over 28k images. So I was surprised to hear various reports that the ’06 installment increased capacity from 25k to 250k. Hmmm – perhaps that’s why my old install was so sluggish – but never any errors or warnings about the size of ye olde library. Anyway, the new version is blazingly fast – like WOW!
It also upgrades handling of RAW images. In iPhoto5, your edits to RAW images were to a JPEG version. You could also edit in an external editor, but you were still working with the JPEG version. 2006’s version enhances this by letting you open the actual RAW file in the external editor. It doesn’t automagically import the RAW edits back to iPhoto (though I wish it would), but you can fairly easily re-import the edited RAW version.
