Captain Euchre Website Design

My best wordpress site to date would be for Captain Euchre of my web series Tights and Fights. I wanted the site to be a little crazy, and had only limited photography to work with. I took this photo of Captain Euchre we took on one of the filming days. The photo had a shadow crossing the Captain which made the photos from that day troublesome, but I was able to use it here. The site uses wordpress page templates to display different category orderings (eg. “Most Recent” “From the Beginning” “Featured Episodes”). You can flow through these posts as you watch them or hop to a particular episode with the far left sidebar. The white spots in the picture are additional YouTube players.

The site has a video focus, articles, a strong theme, useful information and above all free entertainment. Check out the site www.captaineuchre.com

  • Winston is the Cutiest Dog in the World

    I just had to play around with this photo of my friends dog Winston.

    I did this by simply copying the photo onto a new photoshop layer, then adding the photocopier effect.  That effect made the picture black and white with the contours of everything emphasized in black. I then brought the transparency down to let the original colours show through. Here is the original photo.

  • For the Love of Camping

    One thing that I want to do more of in the future is camping.  I guess you might call it extreme camping, but there is nothing nicer than a night under the stars.  I’m crazy for the simplicity of it.  I always wanted to take Afie out to the country and sleep outdoors, give him a chance to see the world the way it should be.  But he was never strong enough.  My next dog will be younger and we’ll go into the woods for a few days.

    This photo is actually a photoshop exercise.  The background is from a trip to Kilarney Ontario Provincial Park. The park was one of the places the Group of Seven painted. The photo was taken on the first night I believe. The foreground picture of me was taken in my bathroom on my phone.

    The challenge was to make two photos blend.  The sun on my forehead would never quite right, but I think I match the perspective and graininess of the foreground in the background.
