Photos While Travelling

Some of my favorite photos from the past two years. 

Father's Day Greeting Card

I always enjoy making greeting cards for others, it's one of my most consistent hobbies (bear making never took off). This one was for my step-dad and while the content isn't something that is easy to relate to, I think it was executed well.

Photos

Every now and then I'll come across photographs from the past, back when people had a limited copy of their memories rather then gigs of data. I'm still on the fence on whether or not having all the photos we can possibly want is something good or limiting.

Anyways, I found this darkened photo and wondered what would happen if I tried to lighten it up. Contrary to my expectations, it turned green with blobs that could be humans.

There really is no point to this post, I just thought it looked cool.

Crayon Childhood

I'm always a sucker for old photos, the grainy feel, the pastels, lovely.  Anyhow, I was toying around with crayon as a medium. They aren't so bad at a small scale.

I was a goofy child.

Happy Early Christmas!
