Portrait

Photo Art Friday!

Our theme this week is "Portrait"...

This is a photo of my son.  We were on vacation in Lake Tahoe and walking around the town.  We were at a cross walk waiting for the light to change and I took advantage of the opportunity to take the "shot".

I took the saturation down added a soft brown filter and added Skeletal Mess grunge texture.

Photo Art Friday

This weeks challenge is the word "hardware" definition: the mechanical equipment necessary for conducting an activity,         usually distinguished from the theory and design that make the activity possible.  Or you can post any photo art of your choice.

I used Pixel Dust Photo Art's texture "Age it" and Kim Klassen's "Wonderful Magic Screen" then I used blending mode "difference" at 100%.

Texture Tuesday with Kim Klassen

The Outside eDition

Our challenge is to use a photo that we took outside and at least one of Kim Klassen's texture.

I took this on my trip to Lake Tahoe, CA.  We were walking around town and came across a little shop that rented bicycles.  They looked really cool all lined up and thought I should take a shot.

I used Kim's texture "Wonderful Magic" on blending mode Screen at 100%.  I also used a Cross Process on this photo.

My son

My son hates for me to take his picture.  So....I have to sneak shots in when I can or really beg.  

Here's one of the two of us on our vacation.  On our way up to Lake Tahoe, there was some roadwork, we had to wait, so we decided to jump out of the truck and take some photos.

That's Topaz Lake behind us...beautiful day.  You can see how thrilled he is...lol.

I'll be adding more pictures from our trip to Lake Tahoe and Morro Bay.
