Happy Tuesday.

Taste of the Danforth

This weekend kicks off one of my favorite street festivals in Toronto, Taste of the Danforth. Lots of good food, good drink, live entertainment and plenty of fun. If you have the time I suggest you check it out. This picture is from the Taste three years ago. I've used a treatment that gives it somewhat of an illustrated feel.

Painted Mars

In contrast to yesterdays post digging up a past favorite, I've decided to go with something new today, at least new in it's current form.

"Painted Mars" is a great example of the kind of reclamation projects made possible through Photoshop. As you can see, the original photo is quite washed out, overexposed and just plain bad. Some tweaks with the colour and few filters and tricks and we have something much more interesting, and much less conventional.
