PHUN WIPH PHOTOSHOP
it was recently brought to my attention that photoshop is now part of the process of taking a photo. you know, like back in the old days when people used to play in dark rooms with stinky, poisonous chemicals, enlargers, dodging and burning tools and all that other fun stuff just to get their image looking the way they wanted it to...well, now it seems photoshop is our little digital darkroom where we get to noodle till our hearts content creating that image that reality just wouldn't offer up straight through the lens of the camera. a few actions, a little new technique as a test, and a funky border...voila! my vintage view!
