Ha. My dad asked if I was crazy. But my mom? She said, "Ooh! I want to do it, too!" So as soon as she got back to Los Angeles, my then fifty-something year-old mama promptly got herself not one. . .but two. . tattoos. How awesome is that??? <br /><br />:)gradydoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639816377218206777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-58699929346180364352011-05-30T12:09:58.007-04:002011-05-30T12:09:58.007-04:00gorgeous photos.

When I load them onto my computer, I use i-photo which allows me to crop them and change the contrast which has saved more than a few dark photos! I have not gotten into the technical stuff but my daughter who is a professional uses Photoshop which I find absolutely above my head right now! <br /><br />I agree that going through photos and playing with them can be a meditative process. I will have to check out Picnik!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-84672799803804425872011-05-29T19:07:13.048-04:002011-05-29T19:07:13.048-04:00you guys are so beautiful.you guys are so beautiful.Candice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-54532542525116781162011-05-29T16:31:40.730-04:002011-05-29T16:31:40.730-04:00I have used Photoshop for years and years, and act...I have used Photoshop for years and years, and actually used to consider myself a digital fine artist.

She said, That one's been around for a while, mom. They know, I suppose, because of Facebook, where they manipulate their photos all the time. So yeah, I am way behind, too. In truth, I do prefer plain photos with strong color and/or contrast, where the real star of the photo is the person or thing being photographed. But sometimes, it's nice to play. Hours passed. It felt meditative.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-67136193474557245152011-05-29T01:07:32.900-04:002011-05-29T01:07:32.900-04:00I feel overwhelmed by photoediting programs -- I k...I feel overwhelmed by photoediting programs -- I know I just have to plunge in and try it, but I just feel like the technology changes so quickly --<br /><br />Your photos are interesting -- it seems like you've got a great handle on the manipulation.
