Photo retouching in progress

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Yesterday a new client came in with a few images.  Old images.  Abused and torn images.  You know, the kinds that can really challenge you on repair and restoration work.  And let me tell you, I’ve been doing a good deal of restoration work lately. I thought I’d share an image in process, just so [...]

Putting an image together…surprising what comes out compared to what goes in

Monday, August 23, 2010

Recently I’ve played with creating a few composite images.  It’s been a fun exercise, and I’ve been using Photoshop features that I just don’t regularly use.  Lots of fun!  Today I played with another composite idea.  It isn’t done, but it’s coming along.  Thought you might like to see what went in, and what’s come [...]

Things to do while running a ton of canvas

Thursday, August 19, 2010

5 24×30″ canvases to run this morning.  And it’s only 9:25 a.m.  Way to start the day! Now, while I sit and wait for canvases to come out, and then for veneer to dry, do I just go dormant?  Does nothing else happen? Nah, there’s always something to do.  For instance, I can try out [...]

Alas, I’ll be missing yet another Photoshop World again…..

Thursday, July 29, 2010

Each day I seem to get another e-mail about Photoshop World 2010 in Vegas.  Not a long drive from Prescott at all.  I’d love to go.  But once again, timing is everything. The last few months of having the Z3100 at 50% really hit my bottom line.  Had you spoken to me in April I [...]

Just a concept

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

You know, a lot of movies hitting the big screen lately have been toying with “high key” type effects.  After seeing “The Book of Eli” I walked away with too many ideas about some images I’d like to create.  I mean, I do live in the desert, and lets face it.  That movie was kind [...]

A few Monday updates

Monday, July 19, 2010

This weekend’s Firehouse Plaza 1st Annual Luau looked pretty successful to me.  The late afternoon saw many people roaming the plaza, enjoying the food, and watching the finals in the volleyball competition.  I decided to include a few more photos just to show you what things looked like during the afternoon around the plaza.  Did [...]
