Photoshop tutorial to kickstart my creativity this morning

After

WV Bridge after Photoshop tutorial

There's a fun tutorial over at Tutorial Blog, that teaches us how to do this cool effect with an ordinary photo, called Photoshop Tutorial: Getting that great X-PRO LOMO look. My favorite part about their description comes at the end: "And you’re done! Your image looks like it was shot on a little plastic toy camera with film that was processed wrong." And it does, too! Funny how that makes it better. To me, anyway.

So I had to try it out on one of my many WV photos of the bridge from childhood visits to my grandparents that I hear is going to be replaced by the end of this year.

It was time for a little break so I thought I'd show you my version of this morning's exercise. Then I'll get back to work for waiting clients. Cheers!

I like it!

I need for you to be thinking about a future Christmas, Birthday gift. After we get our house built I would like to display some of your photos (from my childhood as well). The tiny flowers could be in the display along with the barn pictures etc.

Have a productive evening!

Love,
Mom

Thanks Mom!

I like your idea. I'll have fun pulling together the groupings with you!

Love you too -

SO. Now that it's been 6 months or so since I stopped designing jewelry - for anybody other than myself - I realize it's time to weed out this section of my website. But I still get enough interest from people wanting to see what I used to design, that I thought I'll start by moving some links here to the footer area. For now, anyway.
