Untitled - I've mentioned before that I'm fascinated with the myriad possibilities of photographic manipulation. This is an old fashion magazine photo - circa 1950 something, maybe earlier - that was just way too much fun to play around with. It was subsequently layered with another image that I won't put up here, yet. I was never quite satisfied with the way it looked on the web as compared to how it looked on my own monitor. Anyway, there are those who say that digitally manipulating photographs is nothing more than pushing a few buttons. While that happens to be true, up to a point, there's plenty of creative work to be done when deciding which filter or which transformation tool or which color processor to use. It's no different than a painter choosing different brushes to achieve different effects in a painting. Wherever you may happen to stand on this issue, I like this piece a lot and hope that you do too.
