"There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's amazing to me what you do with Photoshop. You could start a business doing just that and only that.

I use Photoshop for my daily work and have been doing so for 15 years and can't even come close to creating the effects you create.

I thought I was an expert in the application.... but I'm not! YOU are!

;)

Lovely, panta!

oh, thanks, ladies, thanks!

doreen, you know that is quite a compliment coming from you... fact is, though, that i am only slightly and slowly beginning to dicsover the possibilities and potentialities of photoshop - and there never, never is enough time for that! ah...

ju, ha, yeah, the hair. z's is growing wilder as she becomes older, and she really loves it... yet she still prefers to wear it in braids most of the time; it's the most comfortable and practical way to wear it, she says. she hates strands in her eyes, and everything that veils her view...

dear sooz, thanks so much again. yes, there is motion, and how could motion possibly not move.... ah!

smilegirl, hey, i am glad you like it. somehow it is all about light, layers and levels in photography, i think....
