Inspiring Photo: The Way We See It #1101241

The Way We See It

Uploaded: August 09, 2005

Description

My camera(s). Me. Allies. :0)

This photo came about because my Mom said she wanted a picture of me in my new hat. So, I decided to take a pic facing the mirror & then got creative. I added the Dramatic filter in Virtual Photographer, cropped some and flipped the image horizontal so Canon would read the right way.
