Hit up the Spanish mission San Luis Rey de Francia with Aaron and Ashby up in Oceanside this morning. It was built in 1798 - which means it was built after UNC-CH accepted its first student. A weird historical chronological hiccup - I forget that California, as a state, is still relatively young (it joined the union in 1850).

Today was my first time shooting in RAW - I had resisted for so long out of stubbornness - wish I hadn't. RAW is awesome. Especially with Photoshop - I didn't know you could do much manipulation so easily! (readjust white balance, add vignetting ...)

I can continue to veil my photographic mediocrity behind technological advancements - sweet.

I've started using Flickr again, so I've posted the photos there.
