It's Easter, and tonight I was asked to retouch some images by a fellow photographer, Rachel Wright. I love pin up photography, so I was happy to do it. This is my favorite image I edited.

Today I did a workshop for Photofest @ LBCC and I featured a couple of videos explaining how layers work, and how actions work, and a demo of the high pass retouching method. So here are the links.

I am very fortunate that I am being given the opportunity to share some of the things I have picked up along the way on my journey of becoming a photographer. I really just want to share what I know with others, hopefully it helps them too :) Also this workshop happens to fall on my birthday so I will be another year older; Wiser.... I'll have to let you know in 2012.
