I don't often play with post processing, but since I shot this (and bunch others) with some manual settings, I thought I might tinker with it using my iPhoto editor and a Topaz plug in I bought at MacWorld. I am not sure if photo processing is my thing, but it was fun to play a bit.
Did a quick photoshoot for my cousin Jenny Jane for her model photos.
Theme here is to get her smile... naturally.... tough job

This image was obviously post processed (liberal use of various effects in Picnik) - every once in awhile, I like to experiment a bit with the program for fun. It is not meant to be a serious approach to art - rather, it is frivolous, entertaining, and mindless. Somehow, though there are still decisions to be made, perceptions to examine, and layers to analyze. Actively engaging the brain doesn't stop in such an activity - no matter how prescribed it may seem. Funny thing about it - we never stop thinking (and learning) - so might as well do it with meaning and purpose! Naples, FL
