Old Castle
This photo is the result of a tutorial I followed on instantly aging a photo. Thanks to Sue O’Donnell, who just got back from a trip to Ireland and Scotland, for the original photo.

I finished my final.
I had to do a magazine cover for my Photoshop final. I started out with an animal magazine since we went to the zoo last weekend, but I really wanted to do a Santa Cruz magazine with Robert Steffen on the cover. Robert Steffen used to sit on the Pacific Garden mall covered in trash bags and an umbrella. You couldn’t even see him. He would say “have a nice day” to everyone passing by. He was covered in signs advertising his campaign for US president as part of the Black Sheep Party. Rumor has it that he used to work for NASA Ames as an electrical engineer. A couple years ago Robert came out from under his big black trash bags. He can be seen most afternoons walking very slowly with his Tweety Bird parasol up and down the mall. He was nice enough to let me take a few photos.

Pirates of the Pacific
The neighborhood kids are helping me practice my photoshop skills. I did this graphic for the opening credits of their new movie. Rumor has it that there have been a few scheduling problems. Some of the actors have also been difficult to work with. Let’s hope they can finish it before school starts.

Spiders!
I got this Photoshop exercise out of a magazine. I customized it by using a tarantula picture I took at the zoo. I hope no one is afraid of spiders.
