laptop has arrived

I can finally start editing some photos...

AWESOME!

So a couple days ago I posted an edited image. My laptop was sluggish so I rebooted it. Now it wont boot and I've been trucking with it for days. Cant even do system restore. Awesome!

in the studio

Back in the studio for a couple days. I started going through some of my early photos that never got edited and found this one. It was actually my third shot and was not so wonderful. Simply enhancing the color gave me this nice image. Original

Back to work…

I hope all of you have had a few days to recover from the holidays. I'm running on about 80% of one cylinder but duty calls. Over the holidays I was able to experiment with different kinds of shots. On Christmas Eve, we had dinner up north with family. There were 23 people in a...

Basics of Photo & Video Editing

Breaking it up a bit…

To someone that doesn't know how I work, if you were to come into my studio, it may look like a bomb went off when a student was studying for their finals.  I am trying to tackle quite a few things at the same time.  On my laptop I am redesigning latenyte.com.  I returned 5...
