Egg House

Innovation has driven technology to higher heights and has greatly increased the standard of living in our lives. It has made a lot of things easier and cheaper. In the the recent years architects have been searching for the solution for a eco friendly sustainable home. Unfortunately most current solutions have a very high cost which usually deters a lot of people.

One architect in china has found a way to design a house stripped down to its bare necessities. Although after reviewing some of the photos I have some concerns about where he would go to take a bath or leak. I think his design of the egg house is one step closer to providing some form of shelter to a lot of homeless people.

Exploring Action Scripts in Photoshop

Lately I've been trying to cope up with the amount of photos I need to process. I enjoy shooting photographs but I am really lazy in doing the post processing of these photos.

When I take a shot at a scene I usually have something in mind that I want to achieve during post processing, the problem is I really don't have enough time to process each and every one of these photos.

Its a good thing that there are a lot of action scripts in photoshop to help me with the post processing. Even though I use the action scripts to make my work much faster I still do a lot of tweaking to achieve the end result that I want.

Here are some of the photos that I processed with the aid of action scripts
