Description I took this with a Polaroid One Step Express. I removed the white frame from the exposed paper and scanned the image with my Epson Perfection 2400. I adjusted the color and tone to create a monocolor photo in Adobe Photoshop. I did this by using a combination of calculations, curves, and selective color. Finally I did some local dodging and burning to add definition. I'm not sure about the aesthetics of the border caused by the Polaroid, but I liked it.

I hate my clock when it's ringing in the morning for waking me up . . .

But I have to admit that I felt in love with your photography.

It's beautiful.

I don't like the blurring of the numbers on the clock. Overall though, wonderful shot.

This reminds me of a book cover. None in particular...but I definitely see it as being one...
