Connections Day 81

Ever wondered what Spice market (left) and New Mosque (right) have in common? You can choose electricity or pigeons ;-D

I'm traveling and uploading this from my email on my friend's laptop - seeing the pic here it looks too dark, I have no option to calibrate or change my file so it will have to stay as it is until I get back home. Apologies if it is to dark.

Here comes the star i.e. to finish with a bang Day 80

I forgot that there is one more to go, I have to admit that not uploading immediately puts stress out of the equation but on the other hand introduces confusion.

I texturized again, the spotlight comes from a real concert photo, no PS generated rays although I have to try that as well one day.

Thank you for your patience and support Day 79

The thank you goes both ways - to my overly photographed friend/singer and my suffering bored audience.

♪ Wind of Change ♪ comes to mind Day 78

I'm still playing with PS processing, yet I made it simpler today. Texture again, just to change the colours and give the image a bit of softness.

Seriously, I still remember sitting on the floor of high school corridors singing Wind of Change with my classmates in between the lessons. Life was full of possibilities then. Well it still is, it just seems we've lost sight of them when nappies and bills arrived ;-D

Rock'n'roll forever Day 77

PS books have arrived :-D

I replaced background (what a pain, took forever plus still not sure if the colours are saturated (that's what 1 screen shows) or dull (that's what the other screen says) and both screens are freshly adjusted *sigh*...

Thanks a million to Jerry Jones www.flickr.com/photos/skeletalmess/ & www.shadowhousecreations.blogspot.com for 2 textures of his that form the background.

I'm giving myself an OK for the 1st try involving textures. I've learned a lot today. Felt like screaming during some moments as well but I'll get better. Next time the background will not look so obviously fake. Right now, after hours of working on this I have no energy left to further improve this pic...

I have a dream, a song to sing Day 76

My friend is getting ready for a concert this Sunday. I could not resist. She's the main protagonist of the next few days...


I remember now how chattering teeth feel Day 75

Warsaw. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
