February 6: Chaos Reigns

Rancho Bernardo, CA

I have not been much of a photographer or a commenter the past few days as I have been transitioning to my new TV and den remodel. These two young man today removed the old three-piece wall unit and the 32 inch cathode TV.

Note the junk all over the shelf on the left, on the table, and on the couch. All that has to be sorted, stored, hooked up, and given away. ;-(

The wall unit lasted just over 17 years! It was full of records, cds, vcr tapes, etc.

Self challenge number six of seven. The original (first shot) is below. The PS challenge was how to mitigate the two over-exposed areas (the window and the top of the case between their two heads). I've done some rework, and made a dent in that problem.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

other sizes: small medium large original auto

you know you are brave to have those two young men and an old wall unit perched so close to your new television. I just had a stove delivered and now I have a large hole in my freshly spackled and painted hallway from lord knows what since the install was in my kitchen. I can't wait to see your sorted and rearranged new room.

Nothing is wrong with good old Cathode Ray Tubes. :) My 8 year old computer moniter is still kicking.

situations hard to manage, both the 2 high light areas and the chaos in the room, but when finally you have your new TV installed everything is going to be a party!!

I think I would have been leaving that tv in it's box in another room while the removal of said wall unit took place !!!

What do you mean, chaos? I find that very normal looking. The tatoo on that man's leg must have hurt.

It will be nice to follow the room's transition, from catepillar to butterfly.

Looks like my house, Robin. I'm busy packing!

Sorry should be UNIT not until.

I'd be sweating bullets with those guys moving that until so close to that TV. I've got a few boxes left from my redo if you want them. :(
