Picture of DH & I (3 pictures)

15 years ago

Several weeks ago, I posted on a Photo Retouching Forum, asking if someone could do something with a couple mine & DH's wedding pictures. All of our wedding pictures were snapshots, and I was hoping someone could improve them so I could at least print out a 5X7.(Retouching is what those people do...and they love having something to "play around with"). Anyway..someone asked if I had a recent picture of the two of us together. The most recent one I had was one our son, Andy had taken last year (Sept) and it was made at his girlfriends house..in the kitchen!lol But, I threw it out there.

This is the original that Andy took!

This is the result of the magic of PhotoShop and I was pretty amazed (and happy) to say the least!

And, here it is framed! (sorry this one is a bit blurred..camera shake!! haha)

Hi Florence! I had to zoom in on my computer to see you in the first picture, and then spent a few moments wondering if you'd been "Photoshopped" in! Amazing! I like the new picture even better than the old one; but of course, either way you're another beautiful blossom among the flowers. robert

I'm with your husband on this: I think it would look better toned down, especially the banister/railing part. The holly sticking out like that would scare the bejabbers out of me. And if those were real holly branches poking up out of the top of your newel post and swags you would have snipped them out about the third time they cruelly stabbed you in the arm. Part of the problem is that fake greenery often seems to just wind up with more and more being added to the mix - and be re-used repetitiously over the years. If you limited yourself to the real stuff then it might wind up being fresher to the eye (not to mention the nose!) and less obtrusive/intensive overall. Next year you might try going cold-turkey on all the faux stuff and see what you can do using only natural materials. To my eye there is a superb, serene and restrained quality to simpler, real arrangements that vastly outshines the richer, but more commercial-looking, effects. The hand-made simplicity of natural greens (with some dried stuff, too) seems to capture the warm, home-y, personal tone of an ideal holiday for me. I'm not saying use no bling, but keep it underplayed relative to the underlying real stuff. Both aspects will complement each other very well. One thing about natural greens is that they are sort of self-limiting as they take longer to work with, and need special precautions over art work, etc. This causes them to be more restrained. And also be decorated for a shorter period as the green lose their freshness after a few short weeks- that alone will it scale back nicely, while highlighting the specialness of the Holiday. Regarding the time spent on holiday prep and decorations. We've been brain-washed over the years by media that I think has distorted our picture of the kind of decoration that's needed and appropriate for a private space. It eats up more and more time and money, and ends up feeling as though even more is necessary every year. As someone who used to do that, but who stepped off the track, I can tell you how much more satisfying a lower-key approach can be. You won't feel bereft or Scrooge-ish; you may feel liberated to actually experience the joys of the Season rather than spend your energy engaged in managing a complex stage setting. I am just offering my thoughts based on my own experience; what makes sense for you is what makes you (and your DH) happy. I am making no judgement (well except for the need to trim back holly branches with thorns!) L.

Hey, I recognize those peeps! We had so much fun at lunch, the men are so cute together and the girls are just adorable. We hated to leave but they needed to go shopping and I had to take care of some family stuff. I hope they come back next year so we can spend more time together, we always have fun together. Jen loved meeting Lydia and Officer Andy made an appearance at our table, too. I've MISSED him! Lydia gave us the coolest stuff, Jen got a bookmark and I got a neat road-trippy thing to hang from the rear view mirror, but right now it's hanging by the computer. SO cute! Thanks again, Lydia! Here we are at our table- Here's the guys and the girls- And just the girls in front of the sign-

Stush,yes that one with the seed pods is one of the ones i got from you.I don't do anything special to it. however the one i got from you called euphorbia lactea,croked,i kept hoping it would come back,but it was not to be.The other that says it's a stapelia gigantea,is finally getting it's first off shoot,which is good as i thought that was a goner as well. I lost the name of that one with the seed pods,it got knocked over early on and when dh picked it up he didn't pick up the name tag for it.Oh and i didn't pollinate it myself,that's all mother natures work. I hadn't planned to plant all the seeds from it,maybe just a couple to see what and how long it will take from seed to plant. Would you like me to send you one of the pods,if so,i need you to tell me when to cut them off,or do i just put a paper bag over them til they drop off?? Anyone know?? By the way the one with the pods bloomed for several months this year,every couple days there was a new bloom.Same with one of my echinopsis ,i thought that thing would never quit blooming this year.. Oh and for those of you that are "soil snobs"No offense meant,LOL i don't use those self mixed concoctions you all do,i use whatever i have on hand and add a little pearlite,i measure nothing.just throw it all in a bucket,mix it up and plant whatever i'm planting. I always tell my friends i follow Mother Nature guidelines!!!! Works for me and as long as it does,i won't change. Thanks to you all for the compliments,oh and by the way the post from last night were from my kindle,so Camelia i do know that is your name and not amelia.The preclinical grey wolf was supposed to be calif.grey wolf.I hate auto correct!!!

That's amazing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~and very nice.

My niece in N.Y.state took a class last year on how to do that and a lot more.She's been going thru her moms albums and fixing lots of pictures.One picture was of her mom and dad sitting on the grass at some park,but my nephews head was in the picture cutting off her dads foot.She fixed it so that he was no longer in it and her dad had a foot and a shoe that matched the other one.Blew me away when i saw it.

That turned out just lovely.

However, that is why people should not believe every photo they see published anymore, especially if it is a compromising or political situation.
