Road Gear Sketch: Laptop

My laptop was the hub of my media downloading during the 2014 trip. All my photos from the iPhone and the point and shoot, the lame Narrative captures, and the Brinno time-lapse videos went onto the laptop (and then got archived onto an external hard drive).

Here is my "office" on Block Island:

Some view, right?

Greetings from 95912

It's not really a proper road trip until you see a train.  

I-5, Arbuckle, CA. 

Bonus points for accidental palm tree in the shot. 

SpyCam: Our Lady of Klamath Falls

Spice of the Pilot Truck Stop

Posh on top, Sporty on bottom. With some Scary mixed in for flava.

Note added later: missposted, should have gone on my Fashion Blog, SpyGirl.
Blogging from my phone is a challenge!

Hitting the Road

I'm making my way up to Vancouver, BC for a fashion blogger meetup!

I leave this morning, taking I-5 all the way up.

Instagram is the best way to catch my antics during the trip.

Road Gear Sketch: iPad and Waterlogue

As described previously, I used the Waterlogue App to create artwork for the On the Edge: US show held last year. Last year my phone was too old (and full of stuff) to update to iOS6, which was required to run Waterlogue [now it's iOS7]. My iPad came to the rescue. I had to go through a very convoluted process to get the images onto the iPad for processing (more on that later) and it was well worth it.

Watching Waterlogue "paint" is hypnotic. Here's a sample for your viewing pleasure:

Road Gear Sketch: Narrative Clip

Such high hopes for this device. Such utter failure.

I knew, days after getting it, that it wouldn't work for the road trip.
[I thought I wrote about it here, but apparently not. Maybe on Facebook? Nope.]
It arrived on March 5th. I was leaving March 27.

Here is a section of captures from my first road test on March 6th, during my morning commute:

not good

On March 14, I went to Plan B and ordered a Brinno Time Lapse Camera (more on that next week later).

During my trip, I made further attempts at utilizing the Narrative.
Here I am wearing it in New Orleans:

Here are the sorts of captures it took:

I wore it on the left temple of my sunglasses while driving:

In North Carolina, 4/13/14. The last day I bothered to use it.
