Here are a few more cleaned up pics. One of them shows a better view of the beautiful pirate treasure chest that Jhonen’s great-grandpa made for him.

When we were up in Kansas City over Halloween, we got some good pictures taken of Jhonen by a semi-pro photographer, who gave us the DVD with all the original high-rez photos. Nice. So I’ve taken a couple of the better ones and retouched them a bit. Jhonen didn’t do much smiling, unfortunately, but he still looked pretty cute anyway.

Finally got a new stick of memory, so I can actually open Premiere without wanting to kill myself. Here’s a video from a couple months ago, just a few days after Jhonen had learned to crawl. He was still a bit unsteady. He’s a lot faster now, of course.

PS. I’m still trying to figure out how to use Premiere/AfterEffects to clean up the video a little bit. I know I just have a crappy consumer-grade DV camcorder, so I’m not expecting Lord of the Rings or anything. But cleaning up the graininess and evening out the lighting just a bit would be nice. If only I could edit video in Photoshop… *sigh*
