I'm the Mom
A solicitor for a charity showed up at our door just as we were headed out to the library earlier this evening. I knew I should have just gone out the door, but I didn't listen to my inner voice.
As I opened the door and Roan runs up and stands next to me, he asked, "Is your mom home?" Yikes...can I say that made my day? Since I've had Roan and since I've gained 30 pounds, I've only been referred to by strangers as "Ma'am". The rest of the evening is not really worth mentioning.
I've been playing with PS CS2 and I think I am kind of getting it. Here are two pictures that I converted:
#1: I took out the original background of trees and sky and made it black to mimic something I might do in a studio one day, since I don't have a studio. I messed up a little on the right of the picture, but I can live with it for now.
#2: I converted to B&W and then I dodged her face and skin to bring them out of the shadows.
Sounds easy, but it involves layers and layer masks and such...

Looks good! I have no patience to learn much PS. Is that bad? My photos can use some help but most of the time, I'm satisfied with them the way they are. I've got your basic knowledge when it comes to PSing.... :)
i love b/w photos :-). converting and cropping is really the extent of my ps knowledge as well.
Looks great, Kaosong! You're really getting the hang of it! Great pictures!
It would've made my day, too if somebody asked me where my parents were. :-)
I'm done with my website. I sent you an email with link...let me know your thoughts. Ahaa... :)
