Happy Slider Sunday...HSS!!!!
I decided to combine my two favorite things I like to photograph. Architecture and trains. I was just playing around after watching a tutorial on you tube and it actually came out looking kinda cool. I just wish I didn't have such a short term memory.
The dryers in the now closed hairdresser's. Warped with Photo!Editor with the finishing touches done in PhotoScape.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
The famous Lockheed Constellation, one of the most graceful airliner designs of all time. I used an overlay effect on this shot as well due to the condition of the original. The effect greatly enhanced the clarity of this very old slide. This is one of my oldest plane photos. Shot in the summer of 1964 at St. Louis - Lambert Airport, I had to crop this image from a much wider shot. Jets were taking over at this time and the aging TWA fleet would retire its last Constellations in 1967. At that point TWA became an all-jet airline. I love the style of this beautiful airliner and its iconic "triple-tail". And one of my favorite stories about the history of this plane involves Howard Hughes. In 1944 Hughes and TWA president Jack Frye flew a prototype Constellation from Burbank, California to Washington D.C. in 6 hours and 58 minutes. That broke the transcontinental speed record at that time and the "Connie" averaged 331 mph. But the best part of the story is that on the return trip Hughes stopped in Dayton, Ohio and picked up none other than Orville Wright who piloted the first powered flight in 1903. Hughes took Wright on a 50 minute flight around the Dayton area and even let him take the controls for a short time. Wright mused that the Constellation's wingspan was 3 feet longer than his 1903 flight at Kitty Hawk. A classic moment!

A slide off the Deadhorse Mountains of west Texas occurred perhaps thirty years ago, my hiking companion tells me. We were making our way along the Dog Canyon Trail in Big Bend National Park.
JUST SLIDE!!!
those are not my words above. They are a quote from an unknown who has said it perfectly.
If you grew up like me with a parent (probably your father) that was taking care of the photos and slides and sorting them into the according boxes in the right order for a slide show, this picture might be a bit disturbing for you. It was for me. You can probably also remember the sound of the slide projector when changing slides as well as the noise of the slides in the box when you carried them around. I found this in Vienna, Austria. You can buy random slides of random people - 1€ each. Of course I bought a few and will post them here. I am pretty sure this is not "the box" my father imagined his slides would end up in.
Happy Slider Sunday..HSS!!!!!!
Here's another texture, thanks to Chis Buscaglia Lenz.
I'm using Topaz to merge the two together and not Photoshop. Mainly, because I don't know how to do it in Photoshop..;) I can get two images into Photoshop, but I can't figure out how to work with both of them. If anybody wants to help me with that, it would be great..:)
