Pumpkin Pop Art

Here is a Che Guevara version of a picture I took of my cat a while back.

You can almost hear him say: "Mao!"

To make this picture, I adapted instructions found in a You Tube instructional video on using Gimp to turn a photograph into pop art. The main change I had to make from the video's instructions was to remove all the background as my cat has light collored fur; his fur didn't work out so well even with a fairly light background... So after removing the background elements, adjusting the color balance and contrast, and removing more background elements, I pretty much followed the video instructions.

Black and White Keys


This months photo club challenge is black and white. My picture is above. Basically, it's exactly how it looks: I took a long exposure of my keyboard while playing said keyboard. Enjoy!

Photo Club Presentation on Publishing

This one is for the photo club. No, it is not a photo... it is a slide presentation that I'm going to present to the photo club. I made it using Google docs. Maybe I'll eventually do a voice over on it. For now, hopefully the brief blurbs and links will be useful. My notes are not ready to publish yet...
