Using my imagination

This is Vivian. A young girl, with her life ahead of her. What were her hopes for her future? Would her dreams be fulfilled? How many children would she have? Was she happy? I honestly don't know.

Okay, the truth is.....I don't know anything about the girl in the photograph. I do know her name isn't Vivian. I made that up. I don't know her real name, when the photograph was taken, or where. Oh wait. I do know a bit. I know the bench was photographed on May 2, 2009, outside the Bus Terminal Restaurant on Danforth Avenue in east-end Toronto. What, you thought it was an old photo? I hope you did, 'cause that was my intention. But I inserted the young girl into my photo; she's the subject of this week's Art Creations Friday challenge and so I sat her down on this bench and took it from there. It was a fun project and I took the opportunity to work on my "sepia skills". It's surprising how you can age a photograph with just a little photoshop magic.
