Many years ago, I was shown a series of photos that were supposed to be the most amazing shots taken that year (the year is forgotten to me), and one of them was this picture here

I held on to these photos and recently showed them to some classmates who then informed me that this shot was photoshoped.
And like that, the picture was no longer amazing, just an amazing example of photoshop.

Now, I don’t know if this is true. It could be a real shot, no touch ups at all, but the doubt remains. With all the wonders of photo editing out there, how do you look at a picture now without wondering?
So in light of this topic, I found this small collection of photos that claim to look photoshopped but are not.

Here are a few of those pictures.

    Oh and.. I don't believe the last one is NOT photoshopped.Because,the way the light is spreading, there should be some sort of objects blocking the light in order to create these "lines".Secondly,the light coming from the inside through the doors isn't seen on either the fence in front or any other place in the picture.And one more thing. The lighttower's right side just above the house...Where is that light coming from? =S

As a relatively self aware person, I’ve always been aware of how lucky I am to have a mother who has a passion for cooking. Growing up we never had a Chicken Tuesday, or Meatloaf Fridays. Other than Sunday dinners, you could never predict what you would be eating the next night. Although you could assume that it was going to be unique, and delicious! Unfortunately, upon reaching university, and subsequently reaching my own tiny share of a kitchen, I discovered a horrible fact. I didn’t know how to cook ANYTHING. It’s not that I didn’t know how the oven worked, or that I couldn’t read a recipe, but when you’re 18, and living on a student budget, you just don’t go out and spring for a spice rack. Not to mention finding recipes that deal in single servings was difficult. So for that time in my life I mostly lived off of pasta dishes and chicken grilled in my own little George Foreman Grill. In recent months I’ve made more of an effort to pay attention to how some of these miracul

Too Perfect

So today I had a client ask me to changed the sky in one of the photos of their house. I can see why, the photos were taken on an overcast day...  I was told I only had 15 minutes to make the sky blue. (We charge for photoshopping time...) Considering my time restraints, I feel I did a pretty good job. Here is the copy I fixed up.... Apparently this was 'Too Perfect". I don't know what to say to that other than make my own version for giggles.  This is my design.

Beginnings

Originally, I had planned on starting this blog last weekend, but found myself feeling less than inspired. What on earth would I blog about? And its not like this is my first blog. For the years I lived at university, I updated regularly on livejournal with posts meant for my friends, all of whom lived in separate cities for their own schools. And in the end, where most high school relationships dissolved after starting postsecondary ed, ours continued as if nothing had changed. Whoever said long distance relationships cant last clearly didn’t have LJ and friends as crazy as mine. Eventually most of us graduated or changed schools and once again were within a five minute drive of each other and LJ disappeared from most of our internet bookmarks. After I got my Canon Rebel digital camera, I joined a Photoblog, and posted daily pictures that I had taken, both new and old, digital and film. This blog served a completely different purpose. Where LJ was totally and completely private, with
