In this photograph I duplicated the layer adding a background copy. I then made that copied layer black and white. I made sure the copied layer was overlapping my original picture and then I used the erase tool and zoomed in onto the picture. I then made the colour of the background and the leaves from the original picture come through while leaving the rest of the image black and white.
This is an edited version of my "Dunoon Blackbird" photo. This version has the colour-noise removed (thus it looks blurred). The statue, bird, and fly have been slightly expanded. A grey gradient has gone over the top of the photo to calm the over-saturated blue.
Summits of statues are convenient places to see and be seen, for a blackbird.
The sea is the confluence of the Holy Loch and the Firth of Clyde, near the town of Dunoon.
The statue is of Highland Mary, lover of Robert Burns, the poet.
Portrait of a “Sang Long”, a young Shan boy before his ordination as a Buddhist novice; in Pha Bong village (Mae Hong Son province).
Day#12- So Im walking to photo class with Rory and I see this woman walking in the hallway. We think shes going to be your typical New Canaan housewife aged maybe 10 years. When we approach her she immediately agrees and asks if im going to send the pictures to hollywood. She has a funny accent and I ask where shes from. She makes us guess. Rory and I immediately list of every location in the world including Ghana. Australia, NO. South Africa, NO. The accent was vaguely familiar but i just could not get it. she was determined to make us get it and she thought it was hilarious. finally she felt bad and said it begins with the word south. Rory says, "south america" she nods yes. I immediately blurt out. SAO PAULO!!. It was instinctive. I was raised by Brazilian Baby sitters thats where i heard that accent and my subconscious response to this question was a definite result of this. I take the picture as she is still cheerfully smiling. I begin to walk away to class and say, "what if Stephan Speilberg calls, what should i tell him?" she replies, " Tell him I prefer Westerns."
An edit of a previous picture from my photostream... Original text: Just some random pictures of flowers from around my yard. It's an attempt to make something ordinary a little more extraordinary.

Well, I think I may be the only person in the world (or maybe it's just my town) That actually uses cross walks. Most poeple are in such a rush that they press the button and if it doesn't immediately change to walk, they just cross the street anyways. I know that this isn't a big deal, but I think that people are in too much of a hurry in general.....I don't know. I personally like to take my time with life and enjoy the waiting time as much as the doing time.
ps. Sorry for the lateness!!!
