Project 365: Feb.14, 2011 (day045): Roses

Today is the day where people (especially those in love), "paint the town red". It seems that everywhere I go, I see the color red. Even my seatmate at work wore a red blouse! But of all the red things that appear during Valentine's, I really adore those red roses. I guess any girl or woman wouldn't mind being given roses, especially on Valentine's. We might deny it, but deep within, we ladies cannot deny the fact that we are flattered if we receive roses (aminin!!). Even my Mom, at her age (she's in her 50's), loves it when my Dad gives her roses not only during Valentine's but even on special occassions. Words such as a "I-Love-You" is sweet, but it becomes sweeter when expressed with roses. :-)

Project 365: Jan. 06, 2011 (day006): The Real Thing

I have always believed that the real thing is always the best, no matter what its natural deformities or imperfections are. For me, as long as it is in its natural form, real beauty always stands out. This is my personal reflection for my photo today. I found this flower at our center table at home. At first glance, I thought it was a real one. I also thought it was somehow pretty. Since I'm quite near-sighted, I had to give it a closer look. It was only then that I found out that it was made of foam and plastic. Sadly, I got turned-off. Pretty as it may look, nothing compares to the real thing. :-(

Photoshop Attempt3 - The Sunflower Effect

I was playing around yesterday with Photoshop, trying to review the lessons I had in Desktop Publishing. I tried practicing my Photoshop extraction skills, as well as the other tricks I learned in the short course. I experimented on the sunflower pictures I took during our trip to Baguio last May (2010). Here's the result of my photoshop experiment:

Perhaps next time I could try playing around with someone's face or photo... That would sound more fun... Tee hee!!! :-D
