Midnight mood


The captain is on midnight shift this week. I am not a good sleeper to begin with and having him absent totally discombobulates me...so I stay up late. And when I stay up late, I quickly get bored with television and turn to my computer for entertainment. Last night I found myself online at a photoshop user forum, which led to the discovery of a few tips, which led to me opening up cs4 to try them out, which in turn led to some experimentation. Of course. Above, the results. Please click on it to see it properly.

I wasn't sure when I got up today if I would like it -- late night busywork always looks different in the light of day -- but I only made one minor adjustment, a warming of the tones I thought it needed. Then, I called it done. The original photograph was taken at the Guild Inn, one of the many images I captured back in April.

Who knows what I will discover tonight? I can guarantee you that I'll be up.

This is absolutely beautiful. Keep staying up. I always read when my husband was on nights, I'm sure that's why I need new glasses. I also sewed, and did flower arrangements, and then I had Daniel and I was stuck in my bedroom, so reading it was...

What an eerie light effect. It's totally a midnight vision. Now that I know you'll be up I'll call you when I'm wandering around at 3 a.m.:)
Wish we had a signal. I want to invent one.

What, like the bat signal?

I think that's what IM (Instant Messaging) is all about, but I've never investigated it.....

Can a piece be both haunting and substantial? If so, I think this one is. What I love about your work is there's always so much depth to it.
