Photoshop Excess

Photoshop Excess

There was a point when we all discovered Photoshop and for a while photography was lost in a sea of manipulation. Everything had to be altered, almost as though we had discovered Cokin filters all over again....nothing was safe from the fertile imagination and perhaps somewhat naive infection that had permeated our photographic minds. I just stumbled across a folder dating from 2005, so here they are , not all bad, but maybe just a bit excessive in some cases. And of course we never let any opportunity pass by to show my pink fluorescent pig on a ladder in a miil pond, and frankly, it seems the more pink fluorescent pigs on a ladder in a mill pond the better.....

Processed to look like an old faded postcard.

Bethany, three years old, in quantity.



Earlestown Fantasy. This was bugging me for ages, I wanted the little man in the road sign to jump down and run across the image. The derelict cinema was in Earlestown, Newton-le-Willows.

Well it was fun and it's a stage that has to be gone through!
