Background

I've always done photography as a side hobby (thanks mom). However, I really love the "anything goes" power of digital photo editing. Think about it...the idea that you can take a photo and retouch it, alter it, completely change it, or restore it. I usually only take pics for myself and friends (occasional school dance or senior pic), but I do enjoy a good challenge...so I like to create/add graphics or logos for photos, as well as restoring old pics.

Some of these were taken with a 2 megapixel Canon PowerShot Digital Elph S330 camera, yes 2.0 megapixel...that is all I had at the time ;) Canon digital cameras caputure BEAUTIFUL color.

My latest set of cameras include the Canon 50D (15mp), the Canon PowerShot Digital Elph S400 (4mp), and the Canon EOS Digital Rebel 300d (6.3mp SLR).

Here are some of my favorite pictures. These examples include sceneary, buildings, animals and more. Also, keep in mind that all of these are compressed images and that the quality of the actual picture is greater than what is seen here.

Pics for Friends

Playing around with Photoshop...photos I did for friends.

Restoration

Just a few quick examples of restoring a photo with photoshop. You can do everything from colorizing an old black and white photo to filling in missing sections.
