March 2010 Desktop Calendar

Posted in Photography Blog

March is just about here! I keep forgetting how quickly February goes by. March’s is a shot I took last April in San Juan, Puerto Rico. What I like most about this shot is that it’s very colorful and has that Old San Juan feel to it. My favorite thing is that I was able to use my Photoshop acumen to get rid of a tourist that was right in the middle of my shot. Gotta love symmetry! Right-click and save the link below that closely matches your screen resolution: March 2010 – small (1280 x 1024) March 2010 – medium (1440 x 900) March 2010 – large (1900 x 1200)...

February 2010 Desktop Calendar

Posted in Photography Blog

I love desktop calendars! My cousin Paula does one for her siteYogaDudes Blogspot page – each month a new desktop calendar. So, with that in mind, I’m going to try to pick an appropriate photograph out of my library of pics and present to you a new calendar each month. Not that I need more on my plate, but it’s something that will help me keep focused on taking photographs, working in Photoshop and updating my website! This month (actually February’s) is a shot I took in Feb ’09 in Essex, CT. The sun was setting and there was the most beautiful pink reflecting...
