Markley Bros. Wallpaper!
Cognitive Shrapnel
Submitted by Alex on Fri, 08/27/2010 - 12:03am
Hey guys! Earlier this week we got ourselves dressed up and stood still just long enough for Kevin to snap some promotional photographs! This one of all three of us is probably my favorite.
Stuff and Nonsense
I'm not sure what my character is supposed to be looking at in the above picture, but it's obviously quite horrifying. (If my twisted up face is any indication.)
I'm really excited by how this picture turned out. I originally decided we needed a new promotional photo because our Facebook profile pic wasn't colorful enough. At the time, though, I don't think I realized what a production it was going to end up being.
A bajillion thanks to Kevin for putting up with our nonsense for an entire morning and snapping some great photos. Thanks to Peter for his expert graphical work, especially on colors and such. And, of course, thanks to Gabe for lending us his radiant face for the week!
Yes, it was glorious.
By the way, definitely check below (in the Media Downloads section) for the downloadable desktop wallpaper version!
ttyl!

Epic
haha, wow, that's pretty epic.
I'm not stalking you. If I knew you were going to be here I probably wouldn't have come.
Isn't it?
I know, right?! I'm pretty excited. I thought it would make a really good profile pic, but now I want to use it as an album cover or something.

Yay! New background!
You guys look awesome! And hilarious
I love the look on Peter's face 
Aww, you guys aren't even using half of his talents! =P
Also, YAY new background! ^^
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest- Owl City
Amazing!
Guys! That is the funniest picture I've seen in a long time. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it. Peter looks like a Veggie Tales character or something, Alex looks like a superhero from a 50's era tv show, and Gabe looks superior and self-satisfied. But all of you are so handsome anyway! I'm making this my wallpaper.
We should take our comfort from God's word, not from the circumstances of our lives.
New Background!
I was actually just going to change my wallpaper. I was going to do Gir but then this awesomeness presented itself. It's amazing you guys! It's the kind of thing that, if it was on a poster, I would stop to look at. High five ya'll!
Everything looks perfect from far away.
Thanks!
I was pleasantly surprised how well my manual tone mapping turned out.

Colors!
I love the colors you chose to wear and I like how BRILLIANT they are (I'm assuming Peter somewhat edited it, or you have a stinking EPIC camera
) =)
Praise the Lord! Hallelu!
I don't care what the devil's gonna do!

And Jesus is Lord of the way I feel!
Colors
It's actually a little of both. Kevin's camera recorded all the information it could see about each color, then Peter selectively adjusted the brightness, contrast, exposure, etc. across each region of the image to make each individual color "pop" just right.
They both did an astounding job.

I have mine!
I'm an older than average adult and I am proud to say that Markley Bros. wallpaper now adorns my PC at work at a very respectable institution. And I..AM..NOT...ASHAMED!!

Hmm...
*Peter wonders whether he should draw attention to the time stamp on Alex's comment.

Lol too late for that ;)
Alex do you have a problem we need to talk about? ^.-

Nah...
Sometimes his day job just turns into a night job, that's all.

Yeah...
It's a bit of a travesty, actually.
