Candice is hilarious. She should be a stand-up comedienne. I know I can count on her to make me laugh out loud. And her posts are educational, too. My vocabulary of terms for human private parts has tripled - no quadrupled - in size since I started reading her blog.
Of course, she's young and sassy... and I'm old and easily amused. We're an unlikely partnership. Occasionally she asks for a Photoshop favor; I am happy to help. (Watch for it...)
You see, I am a Photoshop junkie. It's gotten so bad that I've pretty much forgotten how to paint or draw. Best of all, combining a variety of photo elements makes a new reality. A twisted reality. It seems like such a good metaphor for our world today.
When not combining unlikely people or objects, Photoshop can be used to combine photos taken at different exposures; one scene, but with enhanced highlights and lowlights. Several artists use this technique. It helps to restore clouds to an over bright sky or details in objects cast in shadows. In the photo below the tops of the trees were overexposed, and the details in the water were too dark. I like this hybrid photo better:

How would you like your reality altered?
