That Beard….

I don't know what drew me first to this picture…the beard

or the eyes. I got it from the Swedish National Heritage Board

on Flickr. It was a black and white image.

I opened it first in Photoshop…converted it to an HDR image

and burned the eye area to make them even stronger. Next I 

opened it in Focal Lab and created the blur effect. After that

I opened it in Hipstamatic and applied a lens and film combination

that gave it the grain and color. Finally I opened it in Distressedfx

and converted it into an HDR photo again to get the strong visual.

Kind of a scary looking fellow…..

Reflections…..

“It is when you lose sight of yourself that you lose your way.

 To keep your truth in sight you must keep yourself in 

sight... and the world to you should be a mirror to reflect

 to you your image... the world should be a mirror that

 you reflect upon.” ~ C. Joybell

I see you……..

This little one was at my youngest grans birthday 

celebration today. Those eyes….I couldn't wait to

do a little photoshop wizardry on him!
