Brothers at the Park

My Mom wanted a portrait of me and my brothers for her birthday, so I packed up some gear and headed down to the local park.

If I had planned ahead, I probably could've used these as a Self-Promo for Chuck's class, but oh well. C'est la vie.

Photo Retouching

This is an old family photo taken by my mom back around 1993 on her Nikon FG-20 with generic 1-hour photo processing/5x7 printing. It was scanned (poorly) by my uncle and required me to do a lot of spotting, some levels and color adjustment, cropping, and a little clone tool removal of distracting elements.

Pictured (from left to right): me (back when I was cute), my late Papaw Blackwood, and my younger brother, Zach. It's a picture that means a lot to Zachary and me. Our Papaw passed away a year ago come February.
