I was thinking a little
while ago that Paul would probably be appalled that I am editing his
images. He thought I was useless in
photography. He has four children who
could do this, but I am the one with the doing.
Yesterday I worked on this picture.
It is two of the men from Padua in “Kiss Me Kate” singing their hearts
out. This came out quite well with pure
white, blacks and all sorts of grays to be seen. I’m pleased.
This photograph was matted
and it appears it was part of his portfolio when he applied to Art Center
School in LA. Time has not treated it
kindly. Not only has damp crept up at
the bottom, but so has its cousin mold. Yesterday,
I trimmed off the damaged matt in Photoshop, but I left the damage in the
picture itself.
Today I went back to that
image of Jack singing. The biggest problem
I have is that I keep dozing off while working here. I dozed off over breakfast too. I did the same thing yesterday. George is better and is off working on his trial
box at the Maker Place. He’s on
vacation. I doze.

- Himself: Much better. Making a box. Told me he would be home before dinner.
- Myself: I’ve been reading some of the sites on Dark Roasted Blend between snores. (The link is in the bottom grouping over on the right.) Very abstract stuff.
- Reading: Looking For a Ship
- Photographs: Paul Hawkins
- Gratitude’s: That I am able to focus and write this.
It's the weather, putting me to sleep over everything!
ReplyDeleteIt's the kidney damage here. I'm forcing myself to hydrate. :)
DeleteGreat job on the photo. You must need to sleep!
ReplyDeleteIt's the cold.
DeleteKeep the focus. You might want to share your preservation methods. I am waiting (several more weeks) for my tapes that are being digitized. I have no idea what is one them.
ReplyDeleteCan you confirm your address for me. The Christmas card I mailed off to you in December just got returned today.
DeleteYes, my tricks did work better on this one but didn't on the Music Man. What are the tapes?
The tapes are really old stuff like hubby when he was 14 at Yellowstone, and both of us in a Christmas play that I wrote, and all kinds of other things that I have forgotten. I did IM the address. We sent out very few cards, but if I get a card I send one back, even if it is late.
DeleteLookin good
ReplyDeleteShame about the damage but you did well.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the labels for business cards, go into Word of MS OFfice and select the 'mailing" drop down menu along the top. On the second from the left at the top will be the "labels" box. In the envelopes and labels window there is an options box at the very bottom. Select it. Then select the label vendors box and that will give you various label sizes including some Avery ones which I use. My Word is an older version, though.
ReplyDeleteMy word is ancient. Yes, I made that work and am heading to the store now. :)
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job on the photo editing, Mage.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
