"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step" - Lao Tzu

    Newer Older

    "Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."

    A simple testament to those with the courage to begin the journey!

    Shot and processed on an iPhone. Apps used include Photogene2 to boost contrast on images of woman, bird's head, chair and arrows on street, Camera App to cook the colors, Dynamic Light to add a slight Orton effect to the bird and the woman, Superimpose for layering, Photowizard for masking out undesirable elements, Camera! for a bit of grunge and addLib for the concentric circles. Update on 4//28 - couldn't resist some further tweaking. Ran it through Pic Grunger to give it more of a worn appearance and used Phonto to add the word "Journey" in Russian using a great internal font - now it looks like a bit like one of those Soviet-era posters.

      I really appreciate the kind words - I'm still very much a student of this whole phenomenon. I've only been using my iPhone for processing for the last six months or so. Still a lot to figure out! And the kudos remind me that the occasional really good result is worth the late evenings and weekends! Thanks!
