I have been spending a lot of time pushing sliders and dialing up and down values in editing programs. I am really good at sorting through some actions and plastering them on an image to "put lipstick on a pig" or as I once heard, create deep fried images.

This is a note to myself for 2014. Learn Photoshop. Learn Layers. Learn workflow.

I was inspired yesterday seeing some ordinary photos turned into extraordinary visuals by harnessing the tools available. I was also deflated yesterday when I tried to use some of these same tools to put my own spin on ordinary and create something with that "Hell Yeah" factor.

Photoshop, I hate you but I will own you someday-
Time to get my knowledge on!
