I've been playing around with Photoshop too lately ... and I agree, it is addictive and loads of fun! I don't have time to take a course on it though, but it looks like Lewis has taught you well! This is a beautiful design you've created, Arlene! Wonderful work! :)

lewis - thank you for stopping by to see that i'm behind but ahead. You're the first person (or book) to be able to get to the heart of things with this complicated program. And, yes, it's got me stuck in the darkroom - where I can't reach my assignments :-)... appreciated!
hey lorna - if you have interest make the time - don't miss the toolbox series here. it's money more than well spent. i'm pleased that I started with exposure and color. it's scary to have been playing around with photoshop for years without understanding both its power and that it is not as complicated as it looks. thanks for your great comment.
best, -a.

Let's sit on that same egg to see if it hatches.

Truthfully? I smell a rotting chicken!

I have been here almost 2 yrs and have YET to get a finalist! (Humm...Am I complaining?)

HA! Too funny.

Well Arlene, I think this is fantastic. It's beautiful.

If we were sitting in your office I'd love to tell you what I'd see here from a Rorschach inkblot test point of view!

HA!!!!

Have fun at your part! That's what it's really all about!

!!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!!

-Laura :)
