The title is very appropriate.. Now I can't decide if the car or the lady is vintage!

It would be fun to see a full story/set/editorial photoessay on this!

I love giving images titles... it's a silly pastime, perhaps... but an amusing one nevertheless. But I'm glad you liked that one, and the picture, too.

I could have sworn I wrote the story to that one when I submitted it, but I guess I was trying to cut back on them.

You're right! As an English major, I guess I'm aware of how much my fingers love the sound of their own keystrokes, so I wonder if I write too much sometimes (it's a force of habit, actually). But, for the most part, I try to let people in on what was happening... now, I'll use your reinforcement as a badge to do just that!

Nice quote you have in your signature too, by the way... I just saw that film again a couple of weeks ago. Good times!

thank you, I see now that I should have made its predecessor in the same vein, as most everyone seems to like this coloring the best.

Venasque In reply to Resquicio [2007-03-04 00:20:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I use a couple of different photoshop actions to turn the image to a sepia tone, and then I overlay the original color version on top of it, and then blend the two together to get the colors I think look best.

I'm glad you like this one, though!

Thanks for coming back in and leaving this... I always like reading other people's comments on things. It's not that I don't appreciate it when they it, but it's always good to know why and what they liked, too.

I'm glad you liked it though!

i can understand that, i'd like to get some feedback on my pictures, too, but unfortunately not many people recognize them.
i make an upload and after a few seconds they are lost in a flood of pictures and nobody ever finds them again....

Venasque In reply to noneedforlight [2007-01-11 14:40:30 +0000 UTC]

yeah, it's hard at first to get anyone to notice around here, I know... I was there, too. But I just kept at it, and plugging away at posting. The two things that helped me get feedback were -- posting in the thumbnail sharing folder, and most importantly... commenting on other people's pages and work. That part was the easiest because I was going to do it anyway, but the more I commented on other people's stuff, the more likely they were to come check out mine, and it's sort of a cycle, really.

i figured that i had to comment a lot more than i did up until now.
in the beginning i was just faving pics i liked, but now i try to comment a bit more,
and hope to meet people like you who return the favor !

but i have one question: what is the "thumbnail sharing folder" ??

see ya

Thanks for saying so -- in fact, I messed up taking this photo (at least in my opinion) and only thought I could "save" it by doing something like this... so I'm glad it seems to have worked.
