February 17 2004:
Floral Delight

Its been so wet, dull and dreary here today, I had trouble getting inspired for today's image. I was playing around with my spotlamp and vase for quite a while, but it simply did not gel. Then I hit on the idea of just photographing the vase's design and doing something in Photoshop. I used the Gradient tool for the first time and achieved this yellow effect (the original is translucent glass). I know its a manipulation based on somebody else's artwork, but if you're having a bad day or a dull day, I hope this brightens things up for you.

That's cool. I need to learn PS better so I can do stuff like that.

I like it Ray. It looks like the sort of print I'd like to have on the wall.
