I've been teaching myself how to transform photos into watercolors in Photoshop this weekend... and here are my first couple of attempts. I think they look better larger, so go ahead and click on them!

I took my students to Philadelphia last week for the Honor Society outing for the year. Not many opportunities to set up for a good shot while keeping my paranoid eyes on my students, but I did manage to snap a few.
They thought it would be funny if they picked his nose... and I agreed.
I went to MAKE to make a vase... then he bought me flowers to make me happy... then I, of course, had to make a triptych out of it.

A beautiful afternoon in the park with Anthony, Jana, and Bryan...
I originally headed over the Whitestone because my good friend Jana asked me to take a particular (adorably concepted) photo for her. She and her husband are moving out of the first apartment they've shared and want a photo of the street sign from the corner to hang in their new apartment. Here is the original SOOC shot:
A few minutes of editing to get rid of the telephone cables, add a tree for balance, and boost the contrast a bit and... voila!
Then we headed across the street to the beautiful Astoria Park to shoot some more:
What an adorable couple!... I loved so much the concept that BethAnn and Billy came up with for their engagement photos: since they've been dating for practically forever, they decided their engagement photos would be a nod to their past.
We started our shoot at SUNY Maritime College. In college, Billy took a photography course and had BethAnn model on the Maritime campus for one of his assignments. For our shoot, we visited the places where he shot his original photos and recreated them, with him in the photos too this time. For our second "scene," we headed to Silver Beach, which is where they met and fell in love when they both worked there. So, they donned their old uniforms once again and recreated the summer romance on the beach. Shooting on the beach was a lot of fun (and who knew the Bronx had such GORGEOUS views??)
Can't wait for round two at Untermyer Park!
B+B, thank you! I had a great time!
