This Year's Teacher's Gifts

As in past years, we've done up little appreciation packets for the teachers that include a CD and home made peanut brittle. Here is this year's covers. Hats off to my favorite photog, Pilate, for shooting this brilliant sunset.

Another Restoration

Doing restorations is a very subjective endeavour. You have the option of attempting to restore the photo to what you believe is its original state, or, you can take the photo and slightly modernize it to give a fresh new perspective. It really comes down to what the client wants and is willing to pay for. Here I've gone the latter route and "freshened" the photo. Normally I would spend more time on the restoration adding things such as clothing textures but this job was done as a favour and completed very quickly. Still, I think it came off very well.

Thanks to Beez at RP for sharing this beautiful photo of her grandmother.

How I See America's Return to the Moon.

Thanks to RP's Pilate for this amazing photo. As soon as I saw it I envisioned a moonscape so here is my silly rendition of what the moon may look like in 2051.

Great Heron (Annimation)

Cheers to RP's greg6494 for shooting this bird. Well done. I just gave the water a little movement.
