...photoshop 7, what?!

...the other day I decided that it might be cool to go through my hard drive and pick out a few of the things that I have tried to do in the past. As I began to dig I found some things that I totally forgot about, things that made me smile and some that made me wonder what I was thinking. So I decided that I would post a couple of these pieces. Its neat to see the cycles in our lives, and these pieces have shown me how I have changed.



This was a photo I attempted to take while driving and if you look closely you can see that its not raining, my Olympus camera decided to focus on the dirty windshield. This was taken on January 2nd, 2004. Its strange to think that Wilkerson Pass (southeast of Buena Vista, Colorado) had very little snow for this time of the year. Well to get back to the story, when I arrived at my parents house I found this gorgeous photo waiting for me on my memory card. So I decided to give it a face lift so I broke out the laptop, fired up Adobe Photoshop 7 and produced this beauty.



The original picture could have been much better due to the fact that the subject was supposed to be the 14,000 ft. Mt. Princeton in all its glory. But as history proves this was not the case, and like the saying goes...when life gives you lemons make lemonade. So I decided to make some lemonade and in time came to this as my final print.

Deo Gratias

...it has finally arrived!!!

...i just wanted to let yall know that it finally arrived to day. Yes my Cintiq is in my hands and is paid in full which makes it so much better. Just so you know...it IS everything that I dreamed it would be. To be able to look directly at what I am painting is so much more natural, I hope that this will speed up my work flow and in turn allow me to create more for yall to see.

Deo Gratias
