Wrigley Field marquee

Photo of the famous Wrigley Field marquee taken in the summer of 2001. I then manipulated the image in Photoshop to create spot color only on the marquee.

Click here to see how I used another Photoshop filter to reverse the red and replace it with blue. I call it "House of Blues."

Summer flowers

Fun photo of some flowers in our garden originally taken in the summer of 2000. Image later manipulated using a Flickr Toy.

As I post this, it's Friday evening in mid-February and the outdoor temperature is hovering near zero! This photo reminds me that it does actually get warm up here.

Sears Tower

Here's a photo I took a couple of summers ago when my son and I were in downtown Chicago. He loves to go to the top of the Sears Tower. Before we went up, I shot some photos looking up from the street. Later I manipulated the photo using a Flickr Toy.

Yahoo! Photos updated

I'm a big fan of Flickr -- the photo-sharing site that's one of the most popular community sites on the web. I joined a year ago and recently upgraded my membership. Yes, I actually paid money! In 2004, Yahoo! bought Flickr and both companies have benefited from the partnership. Flickr got needed investment and an expanded network; Yahoo! got access to the new "Web 2.0" technology. Now comes word that Yahoo's photo site -- Yahoo! Photos -- is undergoing a Flickr-like transition and will be upgraded sometime this spring. As this article mentions, Flickr gets the press and about 2 million monthly visitors while Yahoo! Photos quietly gets 30 million monthly visitors! Yahoo! Photos and Flickr will continue to share access to Target stores for photo printing, something I've used in the past and heartily recommend.
