Warhol

Jb is taking a Photoshop class in school. Her assignment this weekend is to take a photo of herself, and use Photoshop to replicate her photo into a "painting" by a famous artist. She was assigned Andy Warhol.  I decided I wanted to play, too, so had her walk me through the various steps. It turns out this was a bit of a project as EACH layer must be mapped and recolored for each image. It took us pretty much ALL day! But I am super pleased with our results, and I had the greatest time having her teach me some new Photoshop techniques.

The original photograph

Andy Warhol's painting I was trying to copy.

This is the first image map I made. By image map, I mean there is an individual layer for the skin, hair, eyes, lips, shadows and background colors.

From here, I had to recolor each layer, multiple times. Here is my finished product. 

What ya think?

Clarke Taylor Memorial

Losing a loved one is always hard. I didn't know my Uncle Clarke very well, In fact, there were a lot of things written in his obituary that I didn't know about him. I didn't know that his knick-name was Corkie. I did know that he loved Moab and his family, and that he a sense of humor as dry as the Moab sand, a Taylor family trait. I know that my Mom and Dad did a great job under sad circumstances in helping to find the venue and helping Mia and Jason to plan his memorial, and I am proud of them and their efforts.  I enjoyed seeing some of my Aunts/Uncles/Cousins again, and for those that were not able to attend, I shot a few pictures. A special thanks to Aunt Peggy for "holding my hand" as we took pictures of the casket together. Clarke would have laughed at us, and we were glad he didn't sit up and holler "boo," though we wouldn't have been all that surprised if he had.
God Bless you Corkie, See ya on the flip-side.
