Mendenhall River Walk - December 2010 - Nikon Coolpix - no Photoshop; added black border - (I like this image very much; I use this image as my screensaver)
After taking my first (digital) photography class where we learned how to play with the variety of tools Photoshop has to offer, I prefer not to tamper with my photographs. I think Photoshop is a really cool tool and I enjoyed learning what I gained in this class, yet I guess I am from the “old school”; what I see is what I get. So the following 10 photo images submitted for my Finals project of this portfolio, unless otherwise noted, have been tampered with as little as possible (noted at the bottom of each of the ten images). Nature images begin the sequence ending in images of significant human beings. Thanks for visiting!
