Abstract and Surreal Photography Weekend Hello everyone! I am going to be showing you how to do infrared photography in Photoshop. For this tutorial all you will need is Photoshop or a similar editing software you are familiar with. Let's get started! Here is the photo we will be creating digitally (a.k.a. false infrared in Photoshop): To begin go out into the world and take a photo with lots of bright greenery! Here's what this photo looked like before editing: It doesn't look like much yet, but it will once we are done with it! Start by opening up the image you want to use in Photoshop. After you open up the image right click on the

I was one of those people who were afraid to dream big. I am sure this is a feeling that my fellow readers share with from time to time (if not all the time). Born in a small town in a developing country did funny things to my confidence and self esteem when I was growing up. It seems that life conveniently places roadblocks and detours along the path of my dreams. When I was a toddler, I wanted to be a fighter jet pilot. Only to realise that we don't even make our own airplanes! When I was in high school, I like to doodle and draw comics on the pages of my notebooks. Fellow students love them till my home room teacher found out about my sec

Hi pals! I get many questions from people who want to use my photos somehow – I state they need my permission, but I am too busy to answer their notes and comments at the same time. Very stupid situation that is in fact a trap for all those who are polite and really ask for permission :( That’s why I decided to create some general rules. And to make it user friendly, I chose the form of questions and answers. I hope they fit any situation you might think about, but if you get any idea, please, do not hesitate to comment! Those rules will be also on the main page of my account and I will link to them through every of my new de

. Status Summary Holiday break was fun yet otherwise uneventful.  I read the 9-11 commission report during the break.  This coming week I'll be taking my second cross-country trip for business. I looked at how many comments are posted on DeviantArt.  Right now the number of comments posted daily is about 30% less than in 2011 and continues to decline. After my last journal I noticed the staff did quickly remove the "folder" portion of the friends API call.  Personally I don't care too much about that, I just wish they'd make some form of announcement when they change the API.  From a developer standpoint it's very difficult to tell why a

 Dear comrades! The loathsome creature devoid of honor that goes by the name of Tailcat has crossed the line! This vile creature listens to lame music, doesn't do the dishes, and what's worst of all, doesn't put crayons back on their place. This and many other breaches of good manners escalated to the point at which I was forced to declare war! Stand by my side my brothers and sisters! For music! For crayons! For the dishes! The peace between Pugbunistan and Tailcatia lasted for many years but it's over now! Pick a side and help your army defeat the enemy once and for all!   If your  bravery and artistic input will be enough to harm our
