The Road to Cortez

As we were traveling from Denver to Cortez last month, I was driving and saw a beautiful view in front of me. I asked Wess to grab my phone and shoot a picture through the windshield. It turned out okay, but I tweaked it a little in Photoshop and now I think I will get a print made. It certainly brings back good memories.

The Old West

A few months ago, Wess created a portrait for his personal project wall here at the studio. The subject was a local businessman who conducts tours of Enid's downtown in western attire. I decided to try some new techniques with the final image and came up with a "wanted poster" look.

A Sequence of Ghosts

Our son-in-law is a vocalist and bass player for the band, A Sequence of Ghosts. When they performed in Enid, Wess took a few images and I put them together in this collage. To find out more about the band, check their facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/asequenceofghosts.

Restorations

Last month, we were asked by two clients to restore and make copies of old photographs. I love being able to preserve special images. I know how much our old family photographs mean to me.

The first challenge was a high school class picture that had been mounted on artboard and the names of everyone in the picture written beneath it.

The second project was a military photograph that had wear and fading. It was the only copy the family had, so after the restoration, we provided the family with a cd so they could make prints for family members.

Healthy Smiles

We recently photographed the new offices of Dr. Erin Roberts - Healthy Smiles - for ETown magazine. We then had the opportunity to create a piece using several of the images to display in the office entryway. Keep an eye out for the next issue of ETown!

Passport Challenge

This week's challenge was an old passport photograph.
