Welcome to week 43. This week’s piece took a darker turn. I supposed that might have to do with me being immersed in the fantastic work of Brooke Shaden this week. Her work is inspiring and dark, which I love! This one can be interpreted several ways and I leave it up to you, dear […]

Welcome to Week 42! This one came to me in stages. I first had the idea for the background. A Yin Yang symbol made to look like water splashing about. Then I wanted to show more chaos so I added the dragons. Finally, I wanted to show the calm so I added the meditating monk.

Good morning and welcome to week 41! This week’s composite was just a little “Finger Exercise”. A Finger Exercise is where you just start with a couple of random things and try to make something out of it. This one started with the Brown Pelican in front. I took his picture on the Texas Coast

Hi folks and welcome to week 40! This week I have this dark little piece called “The Moon, The Bear and Me”. I made this one for my friend Shelly. You see, Shelly LOVES bears. Not like “Oh cool…bears”. More like a “Can we keep him?” kind of thing so I thought I’d make a

Welcome to Week 39! This week I worked mainly with stock images from Maurius Els who has some fantastic stuff. The background and most everything except the fairies are his stuff. This one was loads of fun to create. I worked quite a bit on getting the lighting the way I wanted it. I think

I got up this morning and knew I needed to get a composite done for Week 36 but had zero ideas. Often, when I have zero ideas, I look at my Flickr stream to see if I can find anything that gives me ideas. The picture I came across was this one. Its a great

If you think that I start with a fully formed idea every time and that’s what comes out, nothing is further from the truth. This is the perfect example. What I started out trying to do was going to be an extremely simple black and white with the only thing being the boat, and a

This is mainly one picture of a building in downtown San Antonio, TX. It was taken in very bright light in broad daylight. I changed out the sky and added the girl on the ledge. The rest was just working in Photoshop to turn day into night and give it a kind of painterly feel.
