Well, these are the kind of photos I'd love to create, but I'm barely out of the darkroom stage (of course it lasted 20 years-LOL). Maybe if I can find time to learn Photoshop a bit more..I could understand some of this..or maybe not I have no time & I want to do so much

LOL I have used photoshop, and it's a powerful tool. While in college, we were required to take a class in photoshop. I passed the class. My professor said that my project was the best she has ever seen. She called me a master at photoshop. After she gave out the grades, I told her my dirty little secret. I never opened photoshop for her class. lol I used gimp. The linux version of gimp is powerful and full of amazing plugins, and free. The teacher laughed at me. She didn't believe me. Then I showed her everything was in the .xcf file format on my computer instead of the .psd format. I used a plugin to convert everything. lol

Ha! I wonder how old you are? Well, when I was much younger I took a job in a company that was owned by two men in NY. My boss in DC was thrilled to let me change whatever I wanted because the DC company lost money every year. Back then, few offices had computers, and I knew nothing about them. My father was something of a genius with computers, but he was a very remote, quiet man. I was able to get an Osborne computer from the company where my father worked for a great price because they had bought too many. I had my father show me a few formulas, because there was no English language, no user friendly anything back then, just DOS. I learned enough to start tracking every expense, every bit of income, many things for each contract we had. Because I did that, I was able to figure out how much business we needed to make a profit, which jobs should be cut, etc. So, my boss, myself and one other person bought the company from the owners on a 7-year plan right before it starting making a lot of profit for years. I was very proud of that. But, things change, small businesses are much harder to keep going, the profits are low..but I remember that as a great achievement in my life.
