The Old Man



He was exhaling his cigarette at the time so it looks funky over his eye. I'm going to have to show him all that gray hair he's got too.

    What a cool portrait Kelly!
    Wow. Such a change from all the kid portraits you do. This one really has a neat (emotional) look behind the eyes.
    Love it!

This boy is so into sports and action I know I'm in for some ride over the next several years. Seriously. When Jacob plays baseball the boy tries to sneak on the field several times throughout the game. The kid can zoom down the hill on a razor scooter like he's invincible.

Saturday, April 12th

Yesterday we went to the Georgia Aquarium. I took tons of pics in there but none turned out that great since it was dark and the flash would just bounce off the windows. We did walk through Centennial Olympic Park afterwards and I got some good shots. In the first one you can see the damage done to the Westin Peachtree Plaza from the tornado a few weeks back. The rest were taken at the fountain of rings.

Photoshop tip

I just learned this neat photoshop tip. You may have already known about this. If you have just keep it to yourself and don't blow my bubble. LOL. It's a good way to remove dark circles from under the eyes. I also used it to get rid of some of the shiny parts around my nose. I found this on photoshopmama.net. Duplicate the background. Create an empty layer above the background copy. Get an Airbrush soft round medium size at 100% opacity and flow, and Option/Alt click on nearby lighter color to sample for foreground color. Airbrush over the dark circles. Follow up with a Gaussian Blur to soften edges but not negate the coverage effects of the concealor. Imagine if you were putting on concealor in the real world...so it's not meant to look natural at this point. It's just a base to compensate.
