The Pelican Brief...PAF..

Not too  late.....and there are more interesting entries if you go to:  Photo Art Friday

For this week's texture art photo we were asked to create and submit an art photo using 
what we have learned about layering and use the theme of one of our favorite books..any book.  Well, I 
chose a series of law and order type books which were made into movies.   Aaron Sorkin wrote A Few Good Men and John Grisham was the author of both The Firm and The Pelican Brief.  I went with the latter, using a photo of my late father's Appellate Court law books, a photo of the scales he had in his chambers 
as a judge.  Using texture of antique lettering and a stock photo of a pelican, I put them all 
together.  I'm not used to the Pixlr site yet, but this is what I came up with today; it is 
a bit 'off' because I was used to picnik and don't have photoshop;
the editing and blending could be much better and I thought the tutorial was poor,
but...it was fun to put together;)

Photo Art Friday...Combining photos...

Sharing today with Bonnie's..


Photo Art Friday
 




I am still thinking about the nice trip to meet two old friends in San Diego.  This will be 
reminder of that time for many years.  Embarrassingly I did find that one could overlay photos on picnik.com ...the process was right there in front of me all the time..I was doing things the hard way! 
 I had a little trouble figuring out the fade qualities because I am new at this.  There you see us on the ferry  
(Laura, Bonnie, and myself) from Coronado in the second layer used over the photo taken on the way
 back when it was getting dark..then I add the flower by photographer Nancy Claeys...you may see something else hidden.  Any suggestions? Anyway, now that the site will be closing soon, I'm sure I'll find another I like, 
maybe even better.  
         Today was full of sunshine - tomorrow holds rain and cold, our typical fickle March weather ;)
