Day #28 - Oh to be a kid again...



What a life it is to be a kid. Playing outside all day long at summer camp, then coming home and wanting to play outside some more - in 100 degree weather! Then you and a friend pull all kinds of top grade building supplies out of your dad's garage - like card tables, card board, tarps, folding chairs and masking tape. You proceed to build a killer fort where the temperature inside is a nice steamy 120 degrees and you sit inside it blowing out sweet melodies on your trusty harmonica.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it? All I want to do it go inside and stay there. I can't remember when I ever really wanted to be outside that much. It was probably back when I was 8 years old - like a certain boy I happen to know and love.

I decided to post two pictures today. I just really liked them both and couldn't pass up the opportunity to share.

Enjoy!

PhotoShop spex (bottom picture): Cropped way in to just get the feet, Adjusted levels, Smart Sharpened (as always), and adjusted the Contrast quite a bit for a creative look, Desaturated (not completely to BW) enough to create a unique look, added Fresco filter.

  1. Sorry it has taken so long to comment on your shots lately, busy busy. In any case this is great and I think posting them as a set really works for this one.
