The stairwell in the parsonage is shaping up. I have just about all the work printed and framed. Hanging it is about all that is left to do. I have printed some on my HP Deskjet 9800 that Susan got me for my 50th birthday (and have put to lots of use for the church and am beginning to use more personally). Some of the prints are adjusted a tad in Photoshop and then printed in the traditional, glossy manner—both color and B&W. Several are modified a good deal in Photoshop, using some artistic effects. I am pleased with the outcome.
One in particular, involves applying the graphic pen filter with color and then using an edge technique. The steps now—though still a photograph—have a line drawing feel and look great matted and in the reddish-brown frame. I have tried this effect several times before with limited success; this is the first time I’ve really been pleased with it.
I’m excited to hang the series now and see the full effect of all the photographs grouped together. I have a series of photographs of pathes that I may start printing and framing next! And maybe some doors… windows… bridges…
