nature meets grunge

i love photoshop

sometimes you just don't have the time or the space

or the energy to get out all the supplies and

work on some art

never mind all the trial and error

waiting for paint or glue to dry

and then all the clean-up!

after a long day

it's nice to sit at the computer and play

with just a few click you can take

a few simple photos

one of a tree silhouette taken earlier this spring

and the second of a telephone pole, taken today

a few tweeks here and there

brightness/contrast

convert to black and white

a bit of cropping

merge the two together

play with the blending modes

add some text

a half an hour later!

something i could not have created

without going a little crazy!
